History
A concern about magic and its rule in society has existed since the fall -- an attitude cultivated principally by The Council of the Hallowed Abbey who believe that the fall was due to an arrogance, a judgement from the gods for seeking to usurp or unseat their power through the use of magic. To these people, paranoia about magic and its use in Novus will always be an issue. At one point early in Novus's post fall history, mages were persecuted and murdered under these superstitions. To put an end to the senseless violence, the Brass Ring of Practical Arcanum was forged, ensuring the protection of mages, but also that magic be wielded safely and resposibly.
