dark vs light Levancy

dark levancy is just a tinted version of light levancy it is more powerful, but it comes at a cost, namely it makes you evil (greedy, powerhungy etc)

dark levancy: you can steal the powers of others light levancy: they can only be freely given

characters

Malimost:
- Family slaughtered as a youth, driven on a quest to control who has access to the Levant
- He only really allows people to possess it if they swear a magically binding oath (he has an item, the bondstone that enables this, people will burn up if they break the vow) to obey him.
- He seeks out any "rogue" Levanters and forces them to either bond to him or die.
- he is very paranoid
- people have legends about the Levant being used for great things => unhappy
- some communities of rogue levanters exists and resist
Bob:
- "rogue" Levanter, doesnt really know about his powers
- Home destroyed by malimost's minions because they offended them somehow, maybe rebelled
- wants revenge (initially)
- after learning more about the Levant (and his turning point) he actually wants to bring back free use of the Levant for the good of people
Bucky:
- loyal sidekick guy
