==Ancient History==
</noinclude>Legend has it that a thousand years ago, the world was a very different and darker place. Magic was a powerful force and powerful mages ruled from twisted fortresses, aided by pacts with dark powers, while inhuman and monstrous magical beings known as “[[elemental]]s” walked the world, terrorising humanity.

A group of adventurers changed the world and ended this tyranny by performing an epic feat known as the Sealing, largely cutting off the mortal realm from the elemental. Magic greatly faded, and science grew to fill the gap. As the new world was built, the world before became obscured in myth.

==Recorded History==
After the Sealing, humanity built a new world. Nations rose and fell as they usually do. The world surrounding [[Clare]] has coalesced in to two great powers - the [[Venucci Republics]] and [[Austral Enclaves]].

In the last few months, strange things have been happening. [[Thaumaturgy]] and [[alchemy]] have started misfiring in spectacular ways. Strange lights have been seen in forests, and odd creatures have been spotted in isolated locations. It seems that the Sealing is weakening and magic is getting stronger again.<noinclude>
