History

There was a time when only small shreds of magic drifted through the world. Because of this people were fearful or scornful towards spellcasters. Because of this, Zoroa and Spoon founded the town Graybeard, as a safe haven for spellcasters to live and practice their magic.

Magic power from another world began to flow into Graybeard's world, sometimes bringing spirits with it. Zoroa opened Theurgy, the gate to other worlds in order to embrace this flow of magic power. He did so knowing this would lead to the deaths of numerous people and other lifeforms, which he accepted as a natural consequence to begin a new era. However Aleister Crowley, Endymion, and Rilliona confronted him to try and close the gate before that could happen.
