This eclectic group of mages and aristocrats have come to believe that the Gods are the creations of powerful illusionists, and religion used to subjugate the gullible. They deny any real difference between arcane and divine magic, and consider the Churches’ monopoly over healing magic to be part of a greater conspiracy by the government and religion to control the population.
Most good-aligned religions tolerate free radicals with obvious distain, while evil-aligned religions prefer to persecute them as heretics.
The majority of free radicals live in Vespice, Avantgardia, and Granditore, where divine power is less persuasive in general.
It is rumoured that an early free radical was responsible for the Dispel Goddess incident, which was rumoured to be partly responsible for the destabilization of the Dorian Empire.
