History - Magic and the Leystones

The ebbs and flows of magic gush and are swallowed up again by magical pillars called leystones. Filling the night-sky and deep waters of the Wurld with a swirling glow of rainbow hues. Saturating everything in arcane energies and allowing life to thrive.

Both ancient and modern texts view the Leystones as the font of terrestrial magic; spikes, driven through the cosmos’ veins to bleed wonder into reality.

And they may be right.

Everything, from the weather to seas obeys the commands of the Leystones. Some scholars predict that magic is simply a byproduct of Leystone control. Others argue that it is the magic itself that allows the stones to shape the Wurld.

What is known for sure is that the Leystones are seemingly indestructible. That mortals who attempt to use the Leystones too often and too directly are invariably destroyed by them, and that the Leystones were not made by the Gods, but instead, aided in their creation.
