Austera the continent where magic was born, where heroes make their riches, where the great demon and his kin were sealed away in the age of heroes. At its center, the Magus Magnificat, the tower and home of the strongest and most powerful mages in the land. While dynasties and kingdoms have risen and fallen, the magus has stood since its magical erection in the age of heroes, one of the last wondrous magical miracles, a class of spell now lost to time. While kings and nobles jockey for position the mages are where real power stands, and no one rises to dominance without their backing. Many people can cast small spells and illusions but rumors abound that true magic is dying, and the mages hold ever tighter to power as it slips through their fingers.
