Overview

Sevrea is scarred. It has already seen two empires sweep through the area and vanish. Only elves and dragons know of the very first empire, and they absolutely will not speak of it.

If there are any gods, they have not made themselves known.

There are millions of spirits existing in the world -- spirits of things and locations, spirits of people and creatures, disembodied spirits, ancestor spirits, all kinds of spirits.

There once was great and powerful magic, but much of its knowledge has been lost and its power cut off. Simpler, more practical, everyday magic still exists, for those who are attuned to its energies.

There are remnants and relics of prior civilization everywhere -- water-powered, steam-powered, as well as chemical-powered and magic-powered devices.

But that civilization has fallen. People use the relic devices daily but no longer know what makes them work or how to maintain them. Ancient bridges that are suspended with magic which connect the great roads may suddenly collapse without warning. People sometimes push the wrong combination of runes on their talking stone and vanish without a trace.

Technology is unreliable, Magic is frightening, Spirits are capricious, and Science doesn't put food on the table.
