[to Advanced] Ascendance (mature)
PLOT
Creation was a world filled with inexplicable marvels: sky cities, roaming sea barracks as large as villages, orchards in the middle of the dessert, universities that housed all knowledge and workshops where many other marvels were built. It is a place where the plenteous Guardians ruled under a few beings called Ascendants. Crime and corruption were almost unheard of and the only evil ever known were the darkwalkers, kept back in the void beyond the world. Poverty was only for the lazy and everyone was accorded what they gained through merit. Magical technology (magitech) can be accessed by anyone even without powers.
But that was five hundred years ago. Barely any of the marvels remained, those that did are now haunted by darkwalkers and their creatures. Those that are not are barred by powerful magic useless to anyone. Crime was in every sad, poverty-stricken street corner and there were even islands dedicated to keeping them. Many villages have gone unattended, fending off their enemies by themselves. Darkwalkers were no longer sealed in the void, raging an unholy war against the guardians and the people of Creation. It is now a place where Ascendants, now called abhorrents, are hunted and scattered and those who survive hide until their long lives expire. Those who have access to magitech are only Guardians and the extremely wealthy who can hire Guardians to operate the magitechs for them.
There are many tales and legends about what happened depending on the society and place where you hear them. Dig deep into all these tales and the keen finds a startling theme that unifies them all. Everyone feared what they did not understand and they trembled at the thought of beings who held so much power. The Guardians used this to host a unified uprising against the unsuspecting Ascendants who fell in only a few days of war.
After the war, none of the Gurdians' creations and marvels held water to the simplest of Ascendant ingenuity and wars broke out within nations and peoples. While there are still secure and peaceful places, underneath movements are brewing to destroy these societies from greedy denizens of creation to the darkwalkers that plague the outskirts of the land.
As the world spirals down into its own destruction, the Ascendants know that they must rise and fix a broken world or perish along with it. But first they must survive and grow to understand their powers, become accepted and take their rightful places before they can even think of anything else.
