Approximately three thousand six hundred years ago, something has happened. The details, location, cause, reason and almost all of the circumstances remain unknown even today. The Event, as we began to call it, amongst other things, created a shift in the fabric of Magia. This, in turn, caused a general disbalance in the distribution of the force that empowers those of us who can use the Magia. And though various warlocks, sorcerers, wizards, witches and many others were in greatest part unaffected by the Event, it did create a new class of Magia users: the Seers. As the disbalance unveiled before us an entirely new horizon of what the Magia offers when the first Places of Power were discovered.

At the time, they were an unnamed phenomenon detected by few, recognized by none. It took a long time before the Seers began to understand the concept and to realize its potential even longer. The obvious effects of the Place of Power: its positive or negative influence on the mood and disposition of the present Seer, was clear enough from the start. As for its cause, that remained unknown for centuries. It wasn’t until 700 B.C. That the first rudimentary description of the concept appeared, as defined by an unnamed sorcerer turned Seer. He attempted to explain the existence of Places of Power by assessing that the layer of Magia around the surface of the world increases in thickness in an unstable, unequal manner and that Places of Power were sources or points of concentration of the Magia of the positive and negative type. And although he correctly connected the appearance of the Places of Power with the occurrence of the Event, his theories were eventually proven untrue.
