It’s been 3 years since the Mad King declared all magic illegal. As if in a single night, magic users were hunted down by the royal army left and right. People were burned at the stake, beheaded, and even worse for no other reason than possessing magic. Rune should have been prepared for the army to eventually arrive in Javine, but the day they came, he was utterly unprepared. In a single day, his peaceful town was reduced to ash, and his parents had burned with it.
