Key 2 - Illusion Magic - The Draven Family
Status
The 2nd key, Illusion Magic, and descendants of the second magical family, the Draven’s are active in the magical community.
Why the Draven’s?
The Draven family has lived in the Nyxara Expanse, a region in the far west of the Milky way galaxy for sols. Fortune telling, and tricks were popular in the area for centuries before the Thumbgala War. The Draven family were a member of a plinary that traveled throughout the region performing tricks which fooled the eye, but had no magic in them.
Although the Kilgerat had not yet come to the Nyxarea expanse, the people were aware of the suffering happening in other regions. The Council of Nyxarea debated what they should do. They agreed that they must oppose the Kilgerat, both for themselves and for others. When the uprising began many of the families went to participate in the war.
Seraphine was one of the thirteen that survived the bacteria but she became very ill. It took almost two years for her to recover. During this time her brain slowly rewired itself so that she became the first master of Illusion.
Masters of Illusion in Nyxarea are called the Veiled.

Hiding and successfully protecting the third Arch Mage of the Magaus Alliance, from enemies during a major conflict in their region.
The ability to rise above the other families of Illusion, so that the Dravens are not viewed as thieves and murderers. The family are “strange”, but they have proven to the outside world that they take their magical powers seriously, and are trying to use them to help others.
Forced the creation of an agency to label, track and deter illusionists who live in the bad lands, a hot region of the Nyxarea.
Partnered with Chaiz Wolfbound III, one of the heads of the Magaus Alliance, to help individuals with powers in this magic. There purpose is to help them use their powers without becoming addicted, and without swinging their personality towards corruption and evil.
The addition of Kaelith into a new division of the Magaus Alliance. His expertise allows non magical beings to see ghosts, and the invisible magical creatures around them. The new division has been created to help individuals who are facing evil understand what surrounds them.

Theron and Seraphune becoming thieves later in life after they were swindled of their fortune.

The family’s reputation was severely affected.
Isolde attempted to cure an individual of a severe mental illness by inserting thoughts into the person’s head. This backfired, made the illness worse, causing the individual to go on a murder spree. Twenty one people were killed before the individual was caught.

Relationships to the other magical families of the top 13
The Draven’s became friends with the Wolfbound family (Masters of Key 7 - Elemental Magic) after Chaiz III worked with them to fund and create an initiative to improve the outcome of children who inherit powers in this key.
Became partners with members of the Stonewich family (Type 8 - Spiritual Magic). The familieds started a study which examines all of the keys, to understand the care needed to stop negative outcomes from powers. This study is often used by the alliance when planning campaigns.
