Introduction
At one time the world of Atla was a peaceful place. Everyone was happy and the world was prosperous. This had gone on for so many years, there never had been famine, war, or poverty. Soon an interest of magic arose and shrines were built for those who wanted to study the art. In the end there was three times of magics, White, Black, and Red. A quick explanation of magic is...White was holy magic, curing and extreme Light magic, Black magic was Dark magic like elemental and destructive magic. However, Red magic was both with some spells that was for Red only, also you were allowed to use a sword with that magic but the downside was that it took longer to learn the magics. Those who studied and learned the ability to cast where called Mages, the ones who learned the magics to their fullest were called Wizards, and the ones who learned both magics were called Sages. To be a Mage you had to learn how to cast and use spells, to be a Wizard you had to learn to cast and use those spells to their fullest potential, but to be a Sage you had to learn both White and Black magic to their fullest. Few became Sages but those who did were regarded as some of the fiercest and most powerful casters around. To be a Sage took decades of studying and practicing and to those who accomplished it were some of the highest in power over the lands. Eventually a twisted form of creature appeared called Beastmen. A war was raged against these horrible creatures. The war never had a winner....eventually three nations were formed from the split in power that was formed. They were the Nation of Mac Anu, the Republic of Athlon, and the Kingdom of Verdana. In the center of all these (which prospers greatly for the trading of the three nations) is Jeuno.
