PLOT

In myths and stories, the magerath were said to be the first inhabitants of Earth, a race who occupied it long before humans. They built Gateways, transports from their world to Earth, in areas of strong spiritual energy, 'leylines.' As the humans came to exist, the magerath blended into society. In later centuries the humans encountered the magerath. Witch burnings and executions ensued.

As their presence faded, the magerath fled or blended, and the leaders of the killings and revolts ceased their crusades, the presence of the magerath was all but forgotten, save in legends and myths.

Centuries later, after countless advancements and losses, humanity began to colonize space and terraform planets they deemed suitable for their growing population, a "Great Migration." Just when humanity had seen a bit of peace they made contact with a familiar race: the magerath, prideful and exotic people of the planet Xel Kyan. The Earthlings saw this as an opportunity: a chance to recreate themselves. To redeem their Earth from the dust ball it had become and reverse their mistakes. The magerath had appeared from their home to avenge their ancestors in the form of nothing short of a crusade.

War ignited. People chose sides, alliances. This continued for fifteen years.

Nautilus, a military corporation of growing proportions, ceased the conflicts. A lull of peace fell upon the universe--but not for all. In this period, the Republic, an interstellar government, and the Alliance, a ring of opposed factions and rebels, was born.

Present day, 2385: Earth is all but a wasteland. New planets and races have been discovered. Humans are not the only intelligent race. Bitterness still lies between the humans and magerath. The half-bloods remain to be persecuted against, though with subtler means. Corruption lies within the Republic. The Alliance is becoming more apparent. The supernatural and unexplainable entwines with life. The Mageran Empire faces conflict within its Houses and violence veiled behind a guise of secrecy.

The horizons have expanded. Those that live scratch out an existence however they can, rich, poor, middle-classed. But most of all-- they live.

Forget the past-- save the future.

Some links are provided to things that are vital to know in order to begin roleplaying. But the first step before anything, don't forget to bookmark this site. In short, you need to know that: The year is 2385. Earth is a wasteland, after its societies destroyed themselves from the inside out. The Weavers were said to have created the planet Earth. There were four generations of them, and shaped Earth's fields, plains, and meadows, and other planets. They are granted control of the lifelines of the Earth, the leylines, and its elements. These abilities are passed down in descendant bloodlines later. The second generation of Weavers soon after arrives, shaping the mountains, deserts, canyons, and plateaus. The third is the intellectual generation, shaping early beliefs. The fourth is a wild card, and is comprised of those with brilliant psionic abilities of the mind. (i.e. telepathy, telekinesis, kinesis, etc. ) Any "Weaver" after this, is classified as magerath, a different bloodline. In this way, humans can descend from magerath, Weavers, and z'hadrei if their ancestors had children between the races over time. Half-bloods are those of human and mageran blood. Humans are the czadians' ancestors, as early humans wandered onto Daldrei through means of warp Gates on Earth and appeared there even before then. The Republic is the Core Worlds' and Outer Rim's system of government. Corruption is becoming increasingly apparent. The Alliance refers to any rebel faction or individual against the ideals of the Republic. Exalts are beings that are often winged, (generally z'hadrei and magerath of some descent) who have reached Enlightenment through varying means, whether by a blood pact binding two individuals, their DNA/birthright, self-discovery or, most commonly, a dire situation. Europe and Asia has a strong influence on cities and life in space. Psionics are powers of the mind. Some accept them, some deny their existence, others do not accept them. Usually such things are known about in public, but not discussed. In order to have psionic affinity, usually the individual--provided that they are a human-- must descend from a generation of Weavers, magerath, or z'hadrei, but in some cases, the human can manifest them on their own. Anything besides this, and this included, you can learn about in-depth in the Compendium.
