“Before the Gray King, Magies reigned. There was one throne with three seats, for the three guilds: Witchists, Matterists, and Morphists. It was a time of mostly peace, so only a small army was needed. They had a council to represent the non-magic born, and they had the relics to keep power balanced among the guilds. Until Osiris led a siege, stole the relics, and used them to kill and trap the magic of the guild leaders who sat the throne.”
