The Golem Rebellions and Wars

The second magical age now very much underway, a unique time period begins. The technology that was developed unchallenged during the forgotten age has now come into contact with the long gone magic that has suddenly become normal once more. This has lead to many blended, and excited inventions, as well as tensions over what developments to follow. Cites are turning up more frequently, and the rural populations are becoming more scarce. The magical technique of creating living servants or golems is called into question, as a golem created by a performer named Milicent Tumble rises up against his master. The Trial of Anke, a golem owned by the infamous Lord James Feather sets off this age into a factionalism that wraps up the world into rivalries that most certainly carry into the Second Magical War.

The Witches of Sartillia wage war on each other for differences in approach. These battles, most famously the Battle of Blazing Tide, lead to a division of the 3 sister tribes of Sartillia. The Trial of Anke goes on to lead to the freedom of many golems during the time, and full recognition to most as sentient beings. eventually however the tension created by this major event's claims and counterclaims, end in fighting.

This prewar period is drawn to a conclusion with many of the same characters that started it. The grandson of Millicent tumble destroys Anke in the Battle of Fire Downs. Lord Feather, Anke's last owner, is redeemed in the eyes of some as insights into the nature of his magic become clear. The world sits at balancing point unsure where to go from here, as old and new rivalries alike begin to solidify into factions.
