New Age Arcanum

20 years ago, the world’s top scientists combined forces with the most powerful magicians on the planet to research the true origin of Arcana. From their efforts, society’s understanding of magic deepened as new ways of harnessing it were developed. Soon arcane universities were the new Ivy League, potions were sold over the counter at pharmacies, and becoming a wizard is as simple as taking an online course.
As society evolved to accommodate the rising wave of arcane evolution, the old races of the world began to migrate into the cities.
