Welcome to Cavas

The History of Cavas

A collection of missing pieces of history, floating in an unknown space. A culmination of peoples, places, cultures, and histories all mixed together. Things go missing, but they all have to go somewhere, right? A land of missing pieces, all mixed into one space. A mixing pot of cultures, peoples, and lands all taken without their consent. 1000 years ago the first known piece was placed. An entire desert civilization appeared in the empty wastes. Quickly many other places, and peoples, joined that nation, and then stood a new place, made entirely of a mix of cultures. The inhabitants named it Cavas. A land of their own creation.

This conjunction confused even the deities, but it wasn't a bad thing, this land. It allowed for a new place, one that they didn't mind having, but were still slightly confused and worried by. Still they visit, and keep up the connection between Eladria, their first world, and Cavas, their second. Allowing each to progress separately of the other. While the people's unified to make Cavas what it is now, these peoples are still humanoids, and as such still fell to conflict, war, disease, and corruption. The air between some nations is tense while others have hundreds of years of peace.

Differing from Eladria, magic is more important, being part of culture itself. With a land surrounded in transported magical energy, magic simply comes easy, and is barely understood. While Eladria has the Bind, to the Magical Source, Cavas has more of an abstract connection to magic, as it seemingly is pulled out of the air itself. Still, technological advancements are not a stranger in this world, but everything is fueled by magic, from the streetlights, to the war machines, and even down to the heat runes to boil tea.

While magic itself is everywhere, those who can manipulate it are less so. Streetmages, mages officially sanctioned by the Arbiter's of Cavas to keep the magically fueled cities going, provide the tools to those who themselves can't manipulate the matter of magic, and allow the common peoples to enjoy it's luxuries.

All has been normal in this world, however five years ago the land quite literally shook. Falling out of the space it occupied, people were forced to watch as their sky changed, and their magic disappeared. For five long hours, the land was without their most vital resource. Magic. Something had happened to it. Eventually the land was able to regain their power, but they were in a new place in space, with a complete different alignment of stars, but with the new view of their previous world, Eladria, clear in the night sky. Wherever they were, they fell out of space, and into a dual orbit with their previous home.

Cavas now sits between their world and their old one, with the constant reminder of where they've come from, and where they've been.
