Long long ago the Mage of Silence, Urtho, created many of the sentient non-human species. An evil Mage named Ma'ar started a war with Urtho. In the end both Mages and their towers were destroyed in The Cataclysm. The Cataclysm created the Dhorisha Plains, Lave Evendim and the Mage Storms, which warped magic and animals at the time and then reverberated back through time and space in the much more recent past, 200 years ago during the reign of Valdemar Queen Selenay.
Valdemar had only just gained peace with their previous enemies of Karse and Hardorn before the newest Mage Storms. Through the cooperation of Mages of all 3 countries and the Shin'a'in and Tayledras the worst effects of the Mage Storms were neutralized through the use of one of Urtho's magical devices and a Mage Channel, young Priest of Vkandis Karal. But this scattered all magic power such as nodes, that was not shielded.
This would not have been possible without the knowledge gained by Andesha, a former Shin'a'in mageling, through the many lifetimes of memories he held having once been the newest chosen body of Falconsbane, once the great Mage Ma'ar. Falconsbane's spirit was destroyed by Firesong k'Treva before the Mage storms began.
(For further history read the books, this is what's pertinent to this RP)
Nowadays the world is at peace and magic has regained many of it's former paths. Nodes are once more fairly common and Mages are once again strong as a consequence.
But what other consequences does this renewal of power have? Who is this mysterious new Mage of whom ill rumors have reached Haven and the Monarch's ears... What does this bode for the future of Velgarth?
Shall we find out...
