THE HISTORY
THE MISSING PIECE
THE HEADMASTERS
THE SILVER FEATHER
THE PIRATES FROM THE SOUTH
[/justify]Dark wizards have ruled the eastern lands for generations. Their magic is powerful and they pride themselves on being pure-bloods, scoffing at the Light magicians in the west for their blood is mixed with those from the south. It has been this way for generations, but it wasn't always this way. You see, long ago, out of time, and memory there wasn't a divide between magicians. Sure, there were those who studied a darker magic, but it was under pain of death. If you were caught it was your end. The high council banned dark magic from being taught through the magicians realm in the east.
It has been long since anyone can remember the full history. Some say that there was one who opposed the council and destroyed it entirely creating a new system, but it is only lore. Many of the ancient recordings up to the time of The Breaking were burned, and those that wrote about it were killed viciously, no one remains who remember it, it is said.
As for those in the south, they tend to remain a mixture of Light and Dark magicians, and commoners alike. They do not have a Headmaster, for they answer to the East.
THE MISSING PIECE
[/justify]“… and they called it The Breaking. In all this the council was destroyed, and a new order came. They called themselves The Silver Feather. They split the land, giving those that wished to practice dark magic the mountains, and the spirit realm, and those that wished to remain in the east could.” Is all that could be saved from the burnings! Alas, no one knows what has happened to this piece of paper. To archaeologists, who have been searching for the paper, say it was enchanted with magic, so that whoever found it would find it just as it had been. The missing piece has yet to be found, and no one knows where it is.
THE HEADMASTERS
[/justify]Who are The Headmasters? They are like a King or Queen, ruling on their own over the West and the East. One for the Dark Magicians in the east, and one for the Light Magicians in the west, they are what keep the peace between the two societies. When one headmaster dies, another takes his or her place, and so the cycle goes. No one, accept the one who is chosen, knows about The Silver Feather.
THE SILVER FEATHER
[/justify]The Silver Feather is more than just a name; they are the ones that make the laws that keep the system running. The headmasters are only the figure heads for council. They are a secret society, created to help ensure that the Headmasters do not exceed their boundaries, and that they remain as the laws dictate. If one of the headmasters gets it in his head that he is better than the law, and can do what he likes, he disappears mysteriously and is replaced immediately. The Silver Feather has many members, but they are not known to anyone. They could be your next door neighbor, your sister or brother, a close friend. They meet every full moon at Spirit Falls in the Northern territory.
THE PIRATES FROM THE SOUTH
[/justify]And from the south, where there is mostly uncharted territory, came the invaders. Pirates from the southern hemisphere! Their large galleons filled with vicious looking owls, and crude ways of speaking have decided to make their presence known. Having taken the south ports for their own, two of the three captains are moving west. The West is filled with peaceful nomads, and is a decollate place. But there are many unknown pirate captains still roaming the sea to the south. Many have chosen not to get involved, and to tend to their ships as they please, battling the pirates, instead of going west to deal with the magicians.
