Thousands of years of magic and conflict has affected the people, and most of all, the world. The destruction has brought death and failed states. From the ashes of this destruction came the need to form cohesive governments and thought. Magic had to be regulated, and strict rules had to be followed.

In this world, ideas from the Enlightenment Age such as Democracy, Capitalism, and Liberalism exist alongside monarchies. Nations are recognized by international rulings, and trade is fairly globalized. The ideas of this world are modern, but the tools are not. While there is a semblance of global unity, such as The Council of Sovereign Nations (this world's equivalent to the U.N), states still bicker with each other, and what it means to be a nation is often a nightmare to debate.

Dragons and wizards still dominate the landscape, and knights still ride on horseback. Guns and cannons were never invented in this world, so warfare is more direct, but also much more bloody. The deaths of WW1, mixed with the carnage of the medieval age. Wars here are a desperate measure for a desperate time.

This does not mean this world is peaceful. Far from it. States fund insurgent groups, leaders send covert forces, and factions switch sides for their ideology. While many people here fight for what they think is right, most of the times, their moral perspectives clash with their own interests. This is the world you will live in, and this is the world you will die in.

You are in The Continent of Selyria - The Center of the World as they say. This continent is vast with different cultures. Whatever you do here has consequences. Good luck.

Magic in here has the capability to create fireballs as powerful as mortars, earthquakes as great as reality, and enchantments that peel off flesh and bone. Because of this, the World Mage Council has made sure that magic is heavily regulated. They oversee spells that are considered "Dark Arts" and are too dangerous to be used by anyone. Because of this, "Venators" or Mage Hunters are often deployed when someone is not following the rules of engagement.

Magic in here, while basic, is also not something to scoff at. It affects your body, your status, and your responsibility to those around you. Those who are born with its capabilities can either live with it as a blessing, or a curse.
