Runes of Magic

Story

An imaginative and dark fantasy Taborea was born when Ayvenas began to record his visions of an extraordinary world in a book. As he wrote, the god created peaceful peoples and idyllic lands for them to inhabit. But as we all know, a happy story is a boring story, so one day he had a thought that would prove to be very dangerous: "What if history wasn't so peaceful?" This insidious thought consumed him so much that he began to paint Taborea in a darker color palette: Wise men became fools, gentle elves developed brutal tendencies, and kind dwarves were corrupted by greed. Even the rules that were supposed to protect Taborea's creatures became twisted and corrupted. Realizing the gravity of his interference in a world no longer under his control, Ayvenas decided to let the Taboreans write their own end of history. He tore the unwritten pages into pieces and scattered them across the land - and so began a new era. Triumph and the danger of power After Ayvenas' retreat, Taborea was besieged by the vicious Naga. Humans and elves joined forces, and with the elven sword Arclight and other weapons, the allies managed to repel the serpentine attackers and enclose them in a magical barrier. Buoyed by their great triumph, the peoples of Taborea founded the ancient kingdoms to pass on their knowledge to others. The people were especially interested in the runes and the scattered parts of the Book of Ayvenas, because according to legend, these "oracles" could be used to control the future and determine history. However, as people learned more, their thirst for knowledge and power took on dangerous proportions. Intoxicated by greed and aided by arcane magic, some of them turned into terrible demons and began the greatest massacre in Taborean history, the War of Balanzasar. Once again, an alliance was needed to restore peace. They succeeded in this by banishing many demons into the void they had created to contain them. The Rise and Fall of the Guardians The Alliance prevailed, but it took a heavy toll: many were killed, and their knowledge died with them. The humans, in particular, had lost most of their power over the runes. But what little they had left was enough to create powerful guardians to protect them from the last demons. But soon Taborea needed the protection of these guardians. The guardians threatened not only the demons, but the whole world. Only the dragons were strong enough to face them, but their fight ended abruptly when the guardians suddenly fell silent. In the "Age of Punishment," the peoples of Taborea were in a constant state of fear. They lost their knowledge, their culture ... but not their courage. The humans who dared to make a new start moved to the continent of Kolydia, while those who remained were hardened into a race of barbarians. The elves fled to the continent of Candara. A race divided by an ancient curse On Candara, the elves escaped the Guardians - but not the "Curse of the Elven Twins." An ancient legend said that a pair of twins would cause a great division among the elven people. This prophecy was once fulfilled when the elves fought against the demons.... And history seemed doomed to repeat itself when a second set of twins was born into the royal family. To finally break the curse, one of the twins, Kentailon, decided to leave his home for the good of his people. But the rift was inevitable: the queen could not bear to see Kentailon go off alone, so she followed her son into the unknown. The Adventures of Sig'aylas While the elder brother Yabis'an ascended the elven throne, Kentailon roamed the continent, traveling as far as the magical barrier surrounding the Naga. Here the elven twin, now calling himself Sig'aylas, fell in love and found true happiness - until the Cyclops attack that devastated the land. In desperation, Sig'aylas plucked the elven sword "Arclight" from the barrier, sending the Cyclopes fleeing. Although the one-eyed beasts were defeated, an even greater danger was awakened: Sig'aylas had released the naga. There was only one hope left for the elves: the humans. And so the two races once again waged war against the fearsome Naga hordes. The fascination of the past The cruel battle against the Naga and the prosperity that followed made the humans forget the past. Only organizations like the Eye of Wisdom were interested in researching the history of Taborea. The Eye of Wisdom's research in Colydia uncovered fascinating clues to secrets that brought the organization ever closer to the elves on Candara. And that brings us to the beginning of our time - an age of discovery....
