Creation Story Cosmology

The cosmology of the "Magi-Tech Apocalypse" world is a complex and layered system that combines elements of science, mythology, and religion.
According to ancient legends, the world was created by the Magi, a group of powerful wizards and sorcerers who harnessed the power of magic and technology to shape the very fabric of reality. Using their incredible knowledge and skill, the Magi created the world and all the creatures that inhabit it, fashioning it in their image.
However, the Magi also understood that their creation was fragile and could be destroyed by their hubris and greed. To prevent this from happening, they created a series of powerful magical artifacts called the "Seals of the Magi". These seals were imbued with the power to regulate the flow of magic and technology in the world, preventing any one individual or group from gaining too much power and destabilizing the delicate balance of the cosmos.
For centuries, the seals functioned as intended, regulating the use of magic and technology and preventing any one individual or group from becoming too dominant. However, as the world became more advanced and complex, some sought to break the seals and gain access to the unlimited power of the Magi.
Eventually, this quest for power led to a catastrophic event known as the "Magi-Tech Apocalypse". In a desperate bid to seize control of the seals and gain ultimate power, a group of rogue Magi unleashed a cataclysmic wave of magical energy that shattered the world and plunged it into chaos. The seals were broken, and the world was transformed into a post-apocalyptic wasteland where survival was the only goal.
In the aftermath of the apocalypse, the people of the world were forced to adapt to a new reality, one where magic and technology were both essential tools for survival and dangerous weapons that could destroy everything they held dear. Some sought to rebuild the world using the knowledge and skills of the past, while others rejected the use of magic and technology altogether, believing it to be the cause of the apocalypse.
Today, the world is a complex and diverse place, filled with different cultures, communities, and factions, all struggling to survive and thrive in a world that is both beautiful and terrifying, magical and technological, ancient and modern.
