Unlike the Arcanists and Atrologians to the north, the concept of magic for most of the continent stems from the waking world, firmly rooted in the trials of everyday life. The hills and vales to the west of the Black Fortress were traditionally home to a variety of people, though the creeping decay of the dense forests beyond the Grove has wrought changes even to those lands removed from the direct influence of the spreading dark.

As the people move from place to place, much of the restoration they desire to accomplish lies in the concept of sympathetic magic. At its core, the idea is by restoring the land, affected areas will likewise return to their natural state. But in order to do so, the land itself must be strengthened through ritual, time, and physical effort on part of the people.
