The Arcane Fracture

Ever since the Forsaken god known as The Shatterer has been awakened and was unsealed, its hatred for magic has caused magic to fail. Magic users become few and far between, and advanced magical societies collapse as arcane infrastructures such as floating cities, magically directed water streams, and other reliance on magic and magical items from day to day cease to function. Magic items can only be created by either finding magical metal (due to the very few arcane places that The Shatterer could not touch) or to use the magical dust Residuum which is a dangerous process that can lead to very nasty curses. Those that want to learn the arcane often make deals with devils and some Outsiders to gain the ability to learn magic.

''Player's Note: you can still play a caster and find magical items its just harder to find and harder to learn to become a caster. (Also note: When you step in The Shatterer's domain it will stop at nothing to kill you. The Order of the Forsaken Moon will also hunt you down as they do not like magic and feel that it is dangerous.)''
