[QUOTE="Angelsboi, post: 207035, member: 1219"] [b]Mythic History[/b] See Zodicia as since Figaro is on the main continent of Rysil, and the Mythic History is the same for all the areas. However it is rumored that a god of war from two different races had it out on the area that is Gemordia and the blood that fell created the Bloodstone Plains. [b]Past History[/b] About 1000 years ago, when the large meteor crashed on the northeastern section of the continent Rysil, those in Zodicia, sought to discover its secrets. What they found was a strange metal, Xenolemat. It was an odd silver colored metal with various multicolored crystals growing on it. It became widely used until Project: Infusium. A scientific project started by Dr. Sy Mageye and his partner Dr. Leila Figaro, to further advance their cultures technological boundries. Project: Infusium was a joke. They gathered the weak, the young, the jobless and some rumored enemies of the Council. They were exposed either intravenously to a liquid form of Xenolemat or it was surgically placed in them. 1 out of 15 experiments died or went mad. It was a very painful procedure. Those who were exposed during Project: Infusium, started gaining powers of the mind and harnessing powers within one of the six colored gems found in the metal. The scientists renamed the metal/crystal structure. It was now called Xenocrystalanium. Those infused gained the ability to cast spells spontaneously, unlike mages who had to study. Dr. Leila Figaro renamed Xenocrystallanium into three different categories. Mind affecting Xenocrystallanium came in six different colors and affected different parts of the brain; The part that allowed precognition was brought out by the garnet. They became Seers. The part of the brain that allowed things to be willed into existence was brought into being by the sapphire. They were called the Shapers. The part of the brain that allowed the body to heal and be manipulated was brought out by the amethyst. They were called the Egoists. The part of the brain that allowed the body to move quickly often between the fabric of space was brought about by the opal. They were called Wanderers. The part of the brain that allowed total control of the mind by lifting things up and mastering several forms of energy. They were called Savants. The part of the brain that allowed speaking between distances was brought about by the amber. They were called the Telepaths. These were named Xenium. Xenocrystallanium that bestowed magic into someone was called Crystallanium. Cryxen was what the crystal in its raw form would be called. As those infused started gaining in power and their numbers began growing, people began to get suspicious and jealous of their powers that came so easily. Dr. Leila started to see the error of her ways. Especially after a High Mage, ones who are born with dragon blood and can cast spells without memorizing, was beaten to death over the mistake he was a Sorcerer. She begged Dr. Mageye to stop his experimentations. He did not listen. To stop what was starting to happen, the newly named Sorcerrers and Psions, left Zodicia and headed for the swamps to the southeast of Rysil, thanks to two brave individuals.

Soon all the creatures in this land started exhibiting the same characteristics as some of the Sorcerers and Psions and soon a whole new ecology formed. 6 of the original exposed formed Houses, each signified by a gem. Greggory Novar founded the House of the Watchers. They are Seers whose symbol is a red eye on a black starry background. Their gem is a garnet. Victoria Donel founded the House of the Makers.

Their symbol is a white diamond against a black background. Their gem is a diamond. Lately other schools are opening up, on how to teach young sorcerers to curb their habits and when to cast spells.
