Art Sample: Ancient Wall Carvings

The world wasn't always as it was today. Things change, things move, things shift. Once in the very long past, before the world was shattered, men were ruled by gods it is said. They shaped the world, they tore magic from the hearts of humans and twisted it into the first monsters, and they ruled over all with a fiery gaze. Then those from without came, and lead a rebellion against it, outsiders, monsters, and humans against the gods and their still loyal worshippers. The world shattered under the conflict, and humanity and monsters were isolated. The Wizards came, surprised that humans could not use the magic that was their life blood, and taught them to make devices that would use magic in humanity's stead. And so the Central Kingdom was founded.
