Magic

Adonnance is a world with both majic of faith and arcane

Faith
After the century of pain, many of the gods have become silent and withdrawn from the world, or are believed to be dead or in torpor.

Much pf the populations have lost faith, and those who do still maintain their prayers occasionally find only silence resonds.

Arcane
After the expedition of the damned awoke The Dark one and ushered in the Century of Pain, the arcane was inevitably changed in the world.

In some ways, this era ushered in advancements in the arcane sciences, with the creation of such magictechs as The Forged. However, many great minds and the knowledge they possessed were lost to the world. As well, a great distrust of magic, and it's potential for distruction, settled across much of the world and it's peoples.

Several of the most powerful remaining minds of the arcane came together and formed The Academy of the Arcane. This body is composed of some of the most powerful members of the various schools of thought and practice of the arcane arts and sciences. It seeks to regulate the practice of magic, and keep tabs on those who utilize it. If mages get out of hand, the Academy will send 1 or more representatives to attempt to either bring the mage under the academies control, or to disrupt the mages access to the arcane.

The Academy is seeking to establish itself through out the known world as the governing body of the arcane.
