EFITHIAN - SETTING
PREMISE | LOCATIONS | NPCS | FAQ
The world of which Efith is a part has always known magic. In the various countries they call it various things and deal wiht it in various ways, but the magic has always been there. A gift from the gods, they say - all of them, Mergan, Reece, the Bican Islands and Efith right in the middle of it. The magic is most harnessed in Efith where the temple institutions have been in charge of working it for longer than anyone remembers anymore. It is said that the magic was given to the Efitians by their main deity, the Mysteries, to keep the communication open between heaven and earth. That is still how they use it the most.
However, since the Second Reecian War started raging, certain politicians have started insisting the magic be used against their enemies for the victory of their country. Maybe it is this blasphemous talk that has made the Mysteries open up all channels to other dimensions - or maybe it's just a fluke, who knows? The Mysteries don't tell.
Whatever way it happened, one day the first visitor was brought to the Capital and not knowing what to do with them, legislator Sarica had a house cleared for them and focused all the temples' attentions on finding a way to bring them back to where they came from.
At least, officially.
In the background, Sarica might or might not be working to find a way to draft the visitors into his war that he is intent on winning, at all costs, by all sacrifices necessary.

These words are written in chalk on the wall of the guesthouse where the visitors stay. No one knows who wrote it and no one knows what it means, but it can't be washed off and it reads like a warning.
