===Mysteries of Magic===
From the ancient wisdom of the elves, we know
that magic flows through all the world. Our world is
made up not only of things that we can easily grasp, but
also of forces that are often concealed from our view
and apprehension. These things, too, are touched by the
magic of Aryth. This magic flows through time, through
the long history of the world, and it colors and even
guides the lives of men and the course of nations. This
is the magic of fate. <br> The world of Aryth is not just the ground below
us, the sky above us, and all things in between, it is the
thread of destiny that leads us from our past, through
our present, and into our future. And just as the magic
of Aryth seeks a just and proper balance in the natural
world, so too does it seek order in history. The world
has a destiny that is right for it, that belongs to it, and
the magic of Aryth is always searching for this destiny,
reaching for it, blindly but with great purpose. The rare
men and women who stand at the crossroads of this
magic, who shake the foundations of kingdoms and turn
the course of events, we call heroes. When the Shadow
in the North corrupted the Night Kings, it was not merely
a corruption of mortal men, but a corruption of the
magic of fate and destiny. <br> But the magic of Aryth has not been stilled. Even
in this dark time, it strives to find its proper course once
again. Just as the mortal vessel battles the disease that
smothers the spark of life, so too does the magic of the
world struggle against the dominion of the Shadow.
New heroes will arise, driven by fate, to lead the world
out of darkness and herald the coming of a new dawn.
