[edit] Story

The Forbidden War Begins...

In an age when a power called "magic" supports everyday life and civilization itself, peace is supported by the queen's knights and the Rave magic council.

The Kingdom of Kalnava has a clandestine program that is researching an easier way to use magic. The story starts at the point when the Kingdom had just successfully completed their research into such a tool. Breaking a longstanding oath not to use magic in conflicts, the society of witches start a new war.
