→Stavenn's Dominance, and the Birth of the Noctusari
| Line 17: | Line 17: | ||
The [[Horde]] that decimated the city of Caanae in the year 100 AA did not travel further south to attack Stavenn, which ultimately led to the city's rise to dominance over Aetherius in the early [[Second Age]]. Survivors of the attack on Caanae fled to Stavenn and begrudgingly became citizens, and the city was allowed to flourish for several years with almost no outside interference; the greatest threat to Stavenn actually came from within. Underground groups of [[magick]] users alarmed Stavenn's High Council and provoked [[Gautier Lajos]] to pass a law in the year 150 AA that prohibited the use of magick within the city. | The [[Horde]] that decimated the city of Caanae in the year 100 AA did not travel further south to attack Stavenn, which ultimately led to the city's rise to dominance over Aetherius in the early [[Second Age]].

The law did not stop [[Ayasha Gazali|Ayasha]] and [[Galen Gazali]] from finding fellow practitioners of magick and banding together. Their sect survived underground and they developed their skills in secret, and they went unnoticed for almost five years before being discovered. When citizens of Stavenn learned of this threat lurking just beneath the shadows, a massive wave of anti-magick hysteria led to the systematic persecution and murder of anyone suspected of "witchcraft". | The law did not stop [[Ayasha Gazali|Ayasha]] and [[Galen Gazali]] from finding fellow practitioners of magick and banding together.

The few members of the sect that managed to survive vowed to avenge their fallen comrades, and formally became known as the [[Noctusari]]. They also began to worship [[Nemesis]], Goddess of Wrath. Over time, the members of the Noctusari secretly gained power within the ruling structure of the city. | The few members of the sect that managed to survive vowed to avenge their fallen comrades, and formally became known as the [[Noctusari]].
