300 years have passed since the time of the Great War. The mighty mages of old waged a conflict that shook the foundations of the world. Arcane force and divine fury threatened to bring about the annihilation of all life. Finally, the destruction reached the point of no return. The world itself lashed out against the humanoid races as the dragons arose from their remote lairs and haunts to form a great flight the likes of which had never before been seen, and will not be seen again. Chromatic and Metallic dragons alike took wing to lay waste to the armies and city states of humanoid kind. The seemingly all-powerful spellcasters were destroyed utterly leaving their secrets lost to the ages. In a final act of rebuke, the dragons sealed away the ley lines of the world's inherent magic, though in so doing, what few ancient wyrms remained after the bloodshed of the war deprived themselves of the arcane energies necessary to sustain their life forces. The eldest and most powerful dragons slipped away into the slumber of eternity, to join the countless casualties their kind had suffered on the battlefield.
So it was that magic was lost to the mists of time, but now the mists gather once again. Twenty years ago, the expedition to the lost city of Goreyo awoke one of the great ley lines, the dragons and elves are rebounding from their losses in the Great War, and secrets thought to be lost forever are being rediscovered. A new age of the world is dawning...

Chapter 1: The Island of Jibae
The door opens to reveal a derelict laboratory. Centuries of grime cover disused broken glassware and the remains of half finished magical experiments. Most of the equipment has clearly been in disuse for years beyond counting, but across the room, something is moving. Its shape is roughly humanoid, but its body made of metal rather than flesh and bone. The Warforged rummages through the remains of the lab, its red eyes scanning over the ancient room.
