I Am Writing As The Thoughts Flow

I'm just gonna write. Whatever.

The City had been founded in the Age of Myth, when an ancient civilisation of humans had come from across the Aether Seas. It was once merely one city in of a dozen collectively known as the Great Cities. Since the coming of the Archenemy that ended the Age of Myth, the City is the last remaining Great City, the others swallowed up by darkness and insanity. Technology which was once prominent has been lost as artificers and engineers died with fewer and fewer successors to pass their knowledge to. More recently, almost an entire generation was lost following a string of brutal defeats, culminating in the City losing almost half of its empire to the Archenemy. Its legions struggle to maintain what meager holdings it still retains, and unrest grows from ever increasing rationing. In smaller villages, uprisings have begun to occur, diverting soldiers from the front lines and causing the Imperial government to become paranoid.

Magic is commonplace across the world, yet poorly understood by even the best. The metal Ur-Iron, is known to be capable of some magic, while magic that allows for healing and arcs of lightning are barely understood at all. Priests and wizards who can use these magics are quick to suggest gods or arcane studies as the reason why, but even they do not truly understand. All that is known is that a potion called Godsblood is used by both to allow one to use magic.
