The Old Laws
A change in the air is upon the New World...
The Old Laws, as they were, were the metaphysical laws and dictations of the world before the Age of Technology, and humanities subsequent hold as the top-most position in the world. These laws refer to the supernatural abilities that common man wielded in the times of Age of Gods and Heroes, as well as the different unnatural energies that permeated the world. It was through these energies that the heroes of old would force acts of power, and holy abilities in their many righteous fights. Many historical figures, soothsayers, clerics, heroes and superpowered beings, dragons, winged serpents, mythical creatures, and more were made into mythos from this time.
The different magics of the world and their many properties shaped the way things were in the earliest times of humankind. Green magics powered the druids and the healers, seekers of Terra - the Mothering Planet herself - and her conduits in the world. The red magics - that of willpower, fire, and anger - was a favourite of warriors, while the blue magics were favoured by those who took a logical look to the world. The Holy Monks of the Echtkaiser Juna Bach were some of the first to wield the white magics, while others - in their madness - wielded the darkest black magics. And finally, the coloured magics of purple and yellow - necromancy and soul magics, respectively. All beings in this time were able to wield the Coloured Magics, as they were named, although some were known to wield the magics more than others.
All of it would come to an end, however.
The end of the Age of Gods in 1099 B.C.E. brought the slow decay of all unnatural things - magical, mythical, or otherwise - on Terra, as the Age of Advancement pushed humanity farther than what the other races could keep up with. Races disappeared, mythological creatures - the ones that terrorized humankind for so long - died out. The very magic in the air dissipated. Slowly, throughout the times, humanity forgot the Old Laws. There certainly are some reminders left in the world: the Echtkaiser, Juna Bach, for example, while various grimoires and tomes exist across the many libraries and museums of the world.
And while the world may have forgotten the Old Laws, the tingling feeling in some of the most remote areas of the world may suggest something else entirely...
