Thonar, as her eternal twin, was forced to counteract every one of Thanas’ creations.

She created life, Thonar created death. They used opposites to keep the balance of the world they’d created, the only thing they made together.

Thanas’ light threatened to overwhelm the delicate life she’d created. Nothing had order and magic beings run amok, Alia was tearing at the seams.

Frantic to fix his twins impulsive creation, Thonar thought of yet another opposite to balance out the weight of the world.

This opposite was logical and calculating, perfect to run against the wild magic. Thonar gifted this logic to the humans Thanas had created long ago. Thanas became outraged. Her once fantastical humans now became a bore to watch. She retaliated by thrusting her gift on the beasts Thonar had made as the opposite to humans. Thonar did not care much for his beasts but their new found magic led to a power imbalance with the humans. Years of bloodshed ensued, as the twins argument led Alia to the brink of total wreck time and time again. The opposite gifts went back and forth. Most humans ended with Thonar’s gift, while a rare few were left with the magic. The beasts ravaged even after more than half had lost their magic abilities.

A strange development occurred, as a third being came to populate the land. These later became known as wizards, having both magic and logic alike deemed them the outcasts of the world.

As humans developed language and hierarchy, they set to make sense of the changing powers. The so called ‘magic sickness’ insisted, many ‘getting better’ and others keeping the magic the rest of their lives, to their upmost dismay and shame.
