Re: Contemporary (Common, Stylised) Backgrounds

I haven’t seen Defiance; I don’t watch much TV these days. (Too busy wasting my free time on the Internet.) I am, however, toying in my head with a novel about a guy who moves to St. Louis and meets an old lady there who’s very annoyed with his family for not keeping their promise to her family to practice magic together — and she’s annoyed with him personally for not being a woman, as this was a tradition that was supposed to be handed from mother to daughter. Anyway, she takes him on as an apprentice, and the Big Problem they have to deal with is that someone is trying to use the good ol’ Gateway to the West as a portal to bring some monstrosity into this world.

All this I came up with just so I could have an excuse to title a story ARCHMAGE.
