Let me tell you a story.

— Historian

To some controversy, revenants working with the Durmand Priory have managed to connect with and contract with the order's founder, Durmand. Though some see this as sacrilege, dredging up the old founder from their long deserved rest, few can deny the pure narrative abilities bestowed upon a contracted. So powerful Drumand's ablities to recall and dictate, the Mists creates a localized recreation of events per the revenant's will. Ultimately, through harmonizing with Drumand's stories revanants can temporary replicate legends at the height of their power disrupting local reality.

Historian skills[edit]

Profession mechanic[edit]

Historians can equip the Legendary Historian, Durmand, as one of their active legend. While in legendary historian stance energy used builds up harmonization, which grants access to reenactment abilities at certain levels. Switching legends activates harmonization if it exceeds certain levels, replacing the revenant's first three weapon skills with reenactments. Max harmonization allows for the use of two reenactments before changing back to regular weapon skills.
