Centuries ago, the world was a place of wonder. Architectural marvels dotted the landscape, manmade constructions laced with magic that took the breath away. The impossible was a daily occurrence, the land a place of beauty, mystery, and endless possibility. It was thought that mankind had reached the pinnacle of capability, of civilization, and the power possessed by those who wielded magic was such that it could shake the very foundations of the world.

And so it did.

It is known as The Breaking. None alive now know what caused it, who or how. All that is known is that it was the misuse of a terrible power, so incredible, so unfathomable, that the act of unleashing it shattered the world. The land was rent, oceans filling the spaces that had once possessed cities and farmland. Where the seas once raged, desolate deserts now burn. The greatest constructions of mankind lay buried by the death throes of the earth, vast libraries full of arcane knowledge swallowed by rock or sea. The entire face of the planet was torn asunder, and civilization cast into shadow.

Untold millions ceased to exist. Entire species were snuffed out as though giant fingertips had pinched the flame of a candle. Many, man and beast alike, who had survived the initial destruction died in the aftermath, unable to adapt to the trials of an utterly new world.

Filled with grief, fear and hatred, every eye turned to the source of the cataclysm: magi.

The sundered land was baptised in the blood of magic users, who were hunted down and murdered wherever they fled. Once the epitome of mankind's potential, they became its bitterest enemies, and were brought to the brink of extinction. Now, centuries later, they remain feared and hated in most places in the world. In some kingdoms, they are killed outright. In others, they are shunned and exiled. Only a few offer refuge, and most of those only with grim stipulations.

Magi are an oppressed and lonely lot, their power only a fraction of what it once was. But the wind is shifting, and hope lies on the horizon. The actions of a few have the potential to change the world yet again, but will they restore it to its former glory?

Or will seduction of power break the world once more?

Hi folks, Legacy of the Breaking is an RP that a friend and I had done in another RP site. Sadly, we both got too busy to finish the RP.
I am posting the RP here to see if anyone is interested. As the prelude to this RP request thread states, Legacy of the Breaking is set in a storyworld where magicians are a rarity, and those that are discovered are executed. I am interested in building on this story, but it should have the above premise.

Types of Magic

1. Elemental - control of the elements in nature
2. Druidic - control of nature itself
3. Necromantic - control of the spirit and death
4. Protective - healing and defensive spells
5. Physical - spells that alter and enhance the physical body
6. Mind - spells that manipulate the mind and alter perception

Ons/Offs

This story would have more story than smut. We can hash out the ONs/OFFs over PM.

Anyway, PM me if you're interested or if you have any questions :)
