It's fantasy in space, which made some of the people writing for it insert sci-fi-ish concepts, but at heart it's very much on the fantasy side. I mean, you have wooden open-decked ships sailing through space and maintaining an air envelope because it's awesome.To expand on this point, somewhere deep below Glantri there is an ancient crashed spaceship whose fusion engine somehow got connected to the planet's magical field and/or the Sphere of Energy. At least two beings have used this connection to become Immortals (basically gods). The connection between the nuclear power and the magical field is called the Radiance, and wizards using secret techniques can tap into this and create very powerful effects. However, doing so slowly exhausts the engine, and with it the whole magical field.The Wrath of the Immortals campaign is caused by senior Energy immortals telling Rad (one of the Radiance-created immortals) to knock it off with his Radiance experiments, because they will exhaust their sphere of Power. Rad tells them "Eff you, you're not the boss of me!" which leads to a whole lot of conflict all over the place (because as immortals, they mostly fight by proxy).</blockquote>
