Magic

Today, in the majority of the civilized world, the use of magic is regulated heavily by the Magne Relige. Formed in the year 1115 of the Fallande Age, the Magne Relige quickly grew to power throughout the world and took control of the use of magic. Five centuries later, many of the churches have all begun using the Magne Relige as enforcers of religious law. Though each church differs greatly in their religious beliefs, they have all come to the conclusion that the use of magic is enormously dangerous and must be controlled.

Today the five branches of the Magne Relige maintain different portions of the known world. They have realligned much of the magical power to be under control of the different churches of each region. Anyone practicing magic that is harmful to the church or those associated with the church is considered heretical and is subject to punishment under religious law. Both king and peasant are subject to these laws and no man is beyond them. Many consider these laws to be of a higher order than the laws of any kingdom. Because of this the Magne Relige has been given unmatched power and thus exists as an entity that answers to no man or crown other than the church; it fights in no war and takes no sides. Some, on the other hand, disagree with this and practice magic and make attempts to sabotage the Magne Relige. The Magne Relige dictates and maintains the forbidden magics of the world and what is and is not permitted in the magical world. The more powerful mages feel the weight of the Magne Relige more than others.

Over the years the Magne Relige has also made it their goal to have a control on the magical artifacts of the world. They consider them to be tools of the gods and have deemed only certain individuals worthy of wielding such divine objects.

While some what over bearing in their approach, the Magne Relige has done much good in the world having greatly curbed the growth of rogue cults, wizards, and those who would do harm to the innocent through magical means. They lead the war against heretical cults and those wishing to harm the civilized world.
