History

The current age is the Age of Storms, whose time starts at the end of the Karixti Empire. Times of this age are denoted by AS.

?- Nasria was created by the gods, or one god, depending on who you ask. Followers of the old gods will tell you that a massive turtle floating through the astral plane stopped to rest and died, and from its body, Nasria was formed. It's massive shell encircled the whole world and turned to pure magic, providing the Weave that powers all magic in the world. Sucrathists will tell you that the Father created the world for his children, and that the weave was created by him to keep everyone safe from the terrors of the elemental planes and the nine hells.
