Following the devastating Arcane Spark that marked the onset of the Arcane Era, Dystoria's lands were scarred by the ravages of The Great Magic War, resulting in the creation of Eco-Scars.

This led to the development of rituals and practices aimed at restoring the damaged lands. Baurcury's profound influence gave rise to cultural celebrations dedicated to honoring natural beauty and fostering a deep appreciation for the environment.
Many artists sought to capture the enigmatic beauty of Baurcury through their works, envisioning fantastical renditions of creatures from Dystoria, including alligators covered in feathers and elephants as small as human newborns. Some of these visionary artists claimed to have received direct insights from Baurcury, revealing the destructive impact of Arcane Magic on Dystoria.
