MAGIK - PROLOGUE ONE
Author's notes: It might be odd for some readers, but I like a skeleton/framework of the world and system they will be reading fleshed out for my readers ahead of time instead of having multiple chapters filled out with explanations. As a reader myself, I find it increasingly annoying for me to constantly be "in the dark" about almost everything with the excuse that it is still early for our protagonist to know. This prologue will try to provide a skeleton of what the world is, how the system works, and the general setting, but I am completely open to criticism. Of note, this prologue will NOT be mentioning everything and there will still be concepts and ideas that the protagonist will come across throughout his life.
The history of Lythia concerns the development of the planet Lythia as well its sister planets, Arborus and Thrads, from their formation to the present day. Nearly all branches of natural and magikal research have contributed to the understanding of the main events of The Triplets' past, characterized by constant geological change, biological evolution, and magikal innovation.
The Triplets were formed approximately 7.65 billions years ago, almost around the same time as far as we understand, which we postulate is most likely due to the birth of the System in the heart of Solara and the subsequent spread of Magik, the source of life sustained by Solaro's heart, across our planes. Each of the Triplets were named after their significant features.
Lythia, the world of water, 3 continental bodies of varying geological climates surrounded by massive oceans that regulate the flow of magik throughout the lands, giving rise to the largest number of naturally infused dungeons.
Arborus, the world of forests, 7 great forests with 7 Trees of life that regulate their own flow of magik throughout its ecosystem, giving rise to the greatest and most varied wild beasts.

And finally, Thrads, the world of sands, most desolate yet most hardy, with the richest ores and metals known to sentient-kind. Home to some of the most vicious creatures known to sentient-kind.
The Formation eon represents the time before a reliable record of life; as far as we are aware, the planets had gone through a time of acclimation and formation, which from evidence, lasted almost all of the first 7.2 billion years of their current growth. The first signs of life we were able to find come from natural remains almost 400 million years ago, again almost simultaneously produced in all three planets according to peer-reviewed magik dating. Large swarms of magika-based aquatic lifeforms for Lythia, expansive swathes of magika-based fungi in Arborus, and fossilized remains of what is thought to be the first complex life form, dune bugs, in Thrads.
Since then, these various forms of life developed and evolved with eras of arthropods, amphibians, and the rise and reign of non-avian reptiles for almost another 380 million years, when the first sentient races came to be. We still are not aware if our million-age old ancestors were of the same form or function as the races now, but we do have solid evidence that our ancestral primates, dryads, and scoropods, respectively for each of the Triplets, were the first to use tools, hunt, scavenge, build communities, learn and use magik, with the eventual introduction of economy that has now grown to our existing civilizations at the turn of the glacial period approximately 3000 years prior.
