It's that time again, the one between night and day- sleep and awake. Nobody knows what happens there, but they pretend to. Not everybody even realises what can happen there, although the answer sits before their eyes.
It's the place where anything is possible, where dreams and reality become nothing more than words. It's the place where magic lives. It's the other side.
Naturally, the magical world would like thing to stay like this forever.
Such things never last forever, such is the nature of casuality. Over 1000 years ago, the magical world was shaken to its core by a revelation. The most famous of soothsayers, the Oracle of Delphi released one final oracle before closing forever (despite the fact that she closed from human eyes many years earlier).Her final words are generally translated as;
"When the dark moon rises, the time of the dragon will arise"
Scholars at the institute for higher magic have worked for generations, consulting even with the Oracle's descendants in hope to uncover the truth behind the cryptic rhyme. Many years have gone by and little progress has been made. The magical world, however, sits safe in the knowledge that no harm can come to them. Yet.
The three sects of the magical underworld have banded together, beneath the banner of the moon. Their own dark moon is on the horizon, maybe their dragon will arise sooner than they think.
At the same time, the wizards have begun their own operation, beneath the rising sun. Against the moon, or ahead of it, nobody is sure. Only one thing is sure;
Something lies on the other side.
