Trainers

Trainers are those who specialize in instructing others in the art of battle, weapons' use, practical skills or magical knowledge. Such individuals help those seeking to hone their proficiency at such tasks in meeting the goals they desire, and repeated visits to trainers are crucial for adventurers in need of expertise in molding their experience into usable techniques.

History
In the earlier days of Sosaria, personal aptitudes at the arts of fighting and magic were often gained through gnostic experience, rather than through practice and training. During these times, skills could be increased through pilgrimages to the great monuments of the age or through tributes offered to the Magic Shrines of Ambrosia. Later, during the time of the Britannian Age of Enlightenment, such devotions shifted to the Eight Virtues, and aspirant seekers would meditate at the shrines of virtue when in need of boons to their talents.

It was only later, during the declines of the Age of Armageddon, that basic instructional training replaced the evocations of old, with the world perhaps having slid too far from grace to manage the miracles that previous eras had enjoyed.
