Astria

While magic is a rare gift, Astria is lucky in that it is not a vital one. The combined ingenuity of our peoples has given us the tools necessary to protect our society and even thrive despite the harsh conditions our world has challenged us with. Indeed, it might even be said that the Umbra is responsible, at least in part, for the luxuries we enjoy today.
