When people discovered the continent known as Hirshein, war broke out as eight cities were formed. People fought over simple things as they attempted to take land and resources from one another, pushing back and forth as they slaughtered. Out of the many people that came to Hirshein, only eight were brave enough to stand against the war. These people left the quickly forming cities in search of a cure for the madness, what they found was Magic. An ancient power locked away deep in the caves of the tallest mountain in Hirshein, when they came back several years later, they returned as what would later be called Arch-Mages. They stopped the war between the Eight Cities Of Hirshein and from then on the continent lived in peace, and over time the Thaumaturges had children. Magic was passed down in bloodline, but it was never quite as powerful as the first eight who would become known by the name; The Old Masters, as well as Arch-Mages. All holders of Magic from then on were known as Mages, until a young girl named Valryn Karyn discovered the power inside her. With the power of The Old Masters, Valryn finds herself thrust into a terrifying new world... the world of Mages.

A generation of witches emerged in a world where two factions, the Druids and the Witches, held power over the Earth and its elements. Gifted with the ability to harness the powers of Light and Dark, they dedicated themselves to honoring the Goddess Mother and the natural world. They celebrated life, abundance, and the cycles of nature through festivals and rituals. The Goddess Mother blessed two witches with extraordinary power, one with Light and the other with Dark, and bestowed upon them a book containing all the spells necessary to honor her. With this book, they could even cheat death itself. However, they were forbidden from using their powers for evil. Meanwhile, the Druids delved into the dark side of nature, making pacts with gods of the afterlife who demanded blood sacrifices. The Elder Druid, consumed by envy, plotted to steal the witches' power. Spreading lies about their wickedness to mortals, the Druids convinced them that only witch burnings could lift the curse. The Elder Druid's greed knew no bounds, and he sought the Goddess's book, whispering more falsehoods about the witches. Fear gripped the land, and countless innocent men and women were burned at the stake until the witch hunts finally ceased in the late 17th century. The two High Strega, the last of their kind, devised a plan to protect their magic and revive the Witchline. The Goddess revealed a prophecy: when a daughter of Dark and a son of Light possessed the book, the Witchline would be restored. They separated, hiding their true power and passing the book from one High Strega to another across generations. Until now...
