of Fallpyre

A form of 'Sanctuary' for races and peoples who are for some reason lost to their own worlds. Gods, Fate or whimsy brought them to this world.   Only basic life forms and a few magical creatures are actually native to this world. Most of the others arrived through rifts and chaos storms.   Dragons have been here the longest. Elves were next and the dragons embraced them as if they were adopted children. Or kittens.   Dwarves were the next large scale arrivals and came on sky ships. They didn't care much for elves once encountered, but absolutely hated dragons. How dare they lair in the areas with gems ...and refuse to hand them over like good animals should when speaking to 'real people.' A war started and just got worse every year, every century.   Parts of the world were ruined or twisted to the point of being strange, sometimes uninhabitable waste lands. The Sea of Air, and the Red Sands are two that come to mind. There are some spots where chaos magic never actually dies down, caused by the death of a greater dragon. Dwarves absolutely cannot live in these spaces.   When the humans arrived, the gods had had enough of the squabbling and named one High King, who brought all the intelligent races together and tamed the chaos with the help of his councilmen and women - the Circle of Magic, the Circle of Nature, and the Circle of Twelve.

Politics and ego have made their way into the Circle of Magic. High Kings have been assassinated and corrupted to suit the needs of the few elitists who want to control the world, magic and society at large. The other two Circles have been hunted and decimated over the years, the Wizards certain that they should be the ONLY circle.
