Elodia

Mages lead civilisations and have lifted cities out of powerty with powerfull spellcraft, while hunting for the scattered witches, who endanger people with their wild and undisciplined magic.   Witches cling to existence by living on the outskirts of cities, offering their services in trade for safety and secrecy, trying to remember the old ways of magic, before language dictated spells and rituals.   The world is torn between two factions of magic, one considered safe and orderly, controled by the Mages of the State, the other wild and dangerours with no controle or regulation.
