The dusty streets of Belgra in the kingdom of Trelashe were at war, albeit a silent war spanning the ages. The Kingdom used to be fruitful and full of magic and life. This changed when a young man named “ “ rose to power and outlawed the use of magic in his kingdom. The ones that fought were killed and the ones that didn’t avoided capture and hid themselves away fearing death.
The current king is a descendant of that young man and has had the Prejudice against magic ingrained in him his whole life. It is for this reason that so many in the kingdom see it as a curse as well. Some even going as far as to report themselves for execution if found.
Not many are aware, but the king has many pet magicians. The scarce few that he deemed valuable enough to live. These make up most of his personal guard and are the ones required to execute the magic users that don’t take up with the king to save their lives.
It is also believed that the lack of magic being used has slowly been taking life from the Kingdom. Fewer and fewer children are born each year, the rivers lose depth, and the crops aren’t as bountiful as they used to be. Any attempt to bring this correlation up to the King has resulted in a swift death for the petitioner.
Our story takes place in this age where magic is considered a disease and free-will is nonexistent.
