[SIZE="3"]The Beginning of Civilization[/SIZE]
[FONT="Times New Roman"]A long time ago, in Ruisara's ancient past, was a land rules by chaos and destruction. After forming in the world, Ruisara was a world in which the magic and nature of all living things were in constant chaos and the humans who lived there were nothing more than loose confederation holding each other for the night, hoping that the next day they would not have to put to rest a beloved father, mother, brother, sister, or friend to the eternal sleep. It was a cursed world in which disorder roamed free.
However, one day during the day in which we mark the calender as age 0000 ATC (After the Coming), light pierced the center of the world and three figures descended from the sky.
These three, who came from another world, entered the world of Ruisara and saw the chaos and disorder among them. Using the knowledge they had from the other world they started to cultivate and dominated the magic of the world.
These three people were known as the Ancient Thaumatage, and their arts known as Thaumcraft and they spread the knowledge they had to bring order to the world, with each three bearing a gift for humanity.
Roy, who was the leader of the three, gave the knowledge of Thaum magic to the human inhabitants. With the knowledge on how to control Vis (the energy flowing with magic) and Nodes (condensed aspects), humans had a way to keep the chaos at bay and to combat the flux (corrupted vis). Armed with the tools, humanity began to fight back.
Yvona, the younger sister, was a thaum engineer, she blessed humanity the practical knowledge to embedded "miracles" of thaum into tools, allowing them to use what they learn in order to change their lifestyle.
However, Chiyuri, the older sister of Yvona, knew that balance was the reason the world was kept alive. Neither falling wholly into one side or another, she retired from the overworld and lived in the Nether, where she managed the flow of magic between the worlds and ensured stability between them.
As time passed, the humans of Ruisara advanced and soon great nations started to crop up in places where sufficient knowledge was gained. However as years became decades and decades became centuries, the three Ancient Thaumatage disappeared quietly, leaving only their legacy.
Each nation around the world claim divinity or direct power from one of the three and soon it erupted into war. However that is for another story for another time.
We will now cover the different areas and kingdoms of Ruisara.

[SIZE="3"]The Kingdom of Rune[/SIZE]
[FONT="Times New Roman"]The Kingdom of Rune is the seat of Thaum Magic in the world. Centered at the world's origin, the magic leylines that run through the kingdom is said to be the strongest of the world, gifting the nation a natural advantage over others. The monarch of the Kingdom of Rune, also known as the Rune King, claims they are direct descendents of the Ancient Thaumatage Roy, who was the leader of the three and claim divine rights to the Kingdom.
Recently, the old King, who was very warlike passed away and now his son, King Roy XIV is now the young king of Rune. How the kingdom will fare is anyone's guess.

Dwarf Tower
[FONT="Times New Roman"]If one were to enter the world, they would likely be near Dwarf Tower. Like its name, it is a very short tower. However, it is the world's oldest tower, one said to be made by the Ancient Thaumatage themselves. While dwarf may not have anything remarkable, it has, over the years, became an adequate farmland, providing food for the starting adventurer.[/FONT]
Sia Tower
[FONT="Times New Roman"]Hidden in the dark silk gades of the cursed Sia Forest, Sia Tower is a tower built while sacrificing many lives to construct. Out of all the towers of the Kingdom of Rune, Sia Tower is by far the most dangerous to travel to without the approved rail tracks. Because the trees leaves covers the land in eternal darkness, the tower is constantly sieged by the undead and other malicious creatures. Spiders crawl up its stone walls and constant fighting can be heard outside.
Despite its dangerous location, Sia has became known as the greatest place for Arcane Infusion. Blessed with the dark powers of the forest, the Sia Arcane Infusion allows the best success for particularly dangerous items if one can venture there safely.
The tower is also equipped with the infernal furnace at its basement and an impressive underground farmland away from the prying eyes of corrupted creatures.
The tracks of Sia is said to be the center of commerce, connecting to 4 different tracks to different towers and locations.[/FONT]
Yukari Tower
[FONT="Times New Roman"]
A beautiful tower in the Snowy Hills. It is tower that sits ontop of a frozen lake. Surrounded by natural ice and guarded by a tough outer wall, it is said that Yukari is the safest tower in the world. At night, the natural snow of Yukari reflects the light, giving it a twilight appearance.
Yukari is said to hold the public Essentia Distiller. Which is needed to break down items to their magic form.
An impressive rail tracks connects Sia and Isacaras together.[/FONT]
Isacara Village
[FONT="Times New Roman"]A small village in the desert, it has soon became a public interest to not only the people but to the king as well. With the recent ressurection of the Earth Tower, many scholars flocked to the Earth Tower to study its secrets, however very little information has been found.
The King of Runes built the Isacara Rune Knight Training Grounds, an impressive fortress that trains the future soldiers there for battle. Within the fortress includes a range minigame, parkour training, and the monster arena.
In addition, this is the first training grounds opened up to the public, allowing even commoners to join at any time, which has caused rifts between the nobles of the kingdom and the commoners.
The master of this fortress is Yulca, a famous general known for his strong iron grip and kind heart. The fortress is closed during the night and during rainy weather.[/FONT]
Walu Tower
[FONT="Times New Roman"]A tower built by the legendary Harayue in the year 719 ATC. The tower is owned by a private group and its history largely in the clouds, however the enchant obelisk, the only public one within the Kingdom of Rune is opened, as well as the node recharge station.[/FONT]
