	What is both legend and truth is that the new drug, [[Adoxipham]] (commonly known as Dox) is laced with magic. This is what makes it so dangerous. Because the Arcaeni have been able to harness some magic in very small amounts, this essence was exploited for the purposes of creating the drug, whose addiction cannot be overcome or avoided, even at the smallest dosages. This was done to create a never-ending supply of customers, making it one of the most formidable economic resources in existence (the drug is forced onto victims by street thugs called [[~~Pokers~~]]).

			==Technology==
			Advanced technology exists everywhere, though mostly for those who can afford it or acquire it. Energy weapons are a good example, vehicles are another. There are also some similarities with earthly tech, for example, they have television there, but it is mostly used for propaganda. Commoners call them "displays". These are usually around settlements on the streets, in communal locations like pubs, inns, and in some homes. Any internet networks that exist are used solely by governments and by the criminal elements, internal things etc. Most technology uses [[Proto-power]], which is hard to come by.

[[Galwyndor]] has about 100 years left before it dies. It wasn’t always this way, but much of the world’s rich history was lost along the way, and the struggle for survival interferes with pursuing the knowledge of the ancients. The time before what little history is known to the world is called “The Before.” Ancestors are called [[The Befores]]. With the exception of a few small bands of intellectuals – higher learning institutions, the [[Arcaeni]] – no one seeks anything of history, and many commoners have no concept of the Befores (they don’t even know to call them that; it’s just what the smart people call them).

Magic, which once flourished, is now only a myth. The Arcaeni, an order of occultists, actively seek to facilitate the return of magic, and have been able to do so in very minute amounts. This is kept very secret. Other than that, no magic exists in the world, yet superstition coupled with ignorance of the populace leaves the door open for exploit. Street vendors sell “magical” talismans. Travelers claim magical powers to ward off impending danger. Still yet, remote “shamans” and “priestesses” use folk magic called [[Salarian]] or [[Catican]] to heal the sick and injured, but it is little more than herbal remedy combined with showmanship.
