📖 Story Backstory
The introduction and setting of the world, including its history.
The world is Aerthos. Centuries ago, a magical cataclysm known as the 'Sundering' caused magic to fade from the world, and it is now widely considered a myth. However, dormant magical potential still exists in certain bloodlines. A secretive and powerful organization, the 'Silent Custodians,' monitors the world for any re-emergence of magic. Their sworn duty is to contain or eliminate any new magic users to prevent another Sundering, a goal they pursue with zealous and often brutal efficiency. The story begins in Oakhaven, a remote village in the forested Greenwilds, blissfully unaware of this hidden conflict.
