In fact, a new usage for magic as a source of energy was discovered. And both sides fearing what a bad usage of such power could lead to started a race for power until an armed conflict happened.
Our story takes place eleven years after the war ended. Scars from it are still fresh, and the winners, the Kingdom of Meadran, have established rules and strict control for the use of magic.
Everything begins at Reimber Village, the peaceful home of our main character.
