Historical Details

Background

The book was written in the Province of Rendor, a place dominated and ruled over by the Order of the Radiant Sun, and the Rendorec, a nationality of people that abhor the use of Magic and those who practice it, banning it outright within their territories.

Public Reaction

The textbook was quickly distributed across Rendor by the Order of the Radiant Sun, first amongst its membership, then amongst the general population, giving them a useful guide by which to repel what they consider to be the greatest sources of evil.

Legacy

While the textbook would become a prominent resource to understand and confront various creatures believed to be of "Dark Magic", it's scope would be limited predominantly to the continent of Vandora.   It would struggle to gain global acclaim however, and would actually have its facts heavily disputed by scholars given its anti-Magic bias and its insistence that certain species (such as Elves, or Fae) are inherently evil.
