Magic

Magic is real in this world, and the history we know, while mostly unchanged, has been subtly influenced or altered by sorcerous forces.

Ancestral air and thunder spirits accompanied the Aryan invasion of the Tamil at the dawn of history, giving rise to the Vedic legends.

Bearded, human-faced dragons oversaw the build-ing of the first pyramids at Sumer and Egypt. The Age of Philosophy of the post-Atlantean world gave rise to mighty priest-wizards, remembered as gods and demigods in the records of the Fall of Troy and the Rise of Rome.

The descendants of these Roman wizards established the Catholic Council that still rules the world, inspired by the wisdom of the Prophets of the Middle East.

Faerie kingdoms allied with the warlord Artus to expel the Romans from Brittany, giving him a magic sword and the title of Faerie King.

Norse elves spurred and accompanied Leif Eriksson’s expedition to Vinland, while the Keltic elf rogue Robin of the Hood led a resistance that forced the British Kings to sign the Carta Magna that would eventually lead to the return of Democracy.

Thus today’s world is shaped by the historical presence of wizards and spirits, which have walked hand-in-hand with humanity, sometimes more noticeably and sometimes from the shadows – but always there.
