Raposa, designed by the god of causality and creation, are the stewards of the two worlds—the corporal and intangible. From their inception, the Raposa population had been split into four villages, each defined by a specific virtue and vice shared by all Raposa. Until each village overcame its vice, all would be kept separate. The primordial Raposa, the original inhabitants of each village, built the foundations of their village per their own objectives.

By the 248th year, all villages had overcome their vices and the world slowly grew united. 70 years later, inhabitants of all four villages jointly organized the first colony in ForestStream, a newly discovered island in the Emerald Sea. This settlement would eventually grow to become the Kingdom of ForestStream, a harmonious amalgamation of the four founding villages.

Though Wilfre's defeat marked the end of ''The Fall'', the final catalyst before the villages could unite, it also marked the start of new, unprecedented, era. Dubbed ''The Purge'', magic levels began to drop worldwide. 80 years later, ambient magic levels had completely depleted across the globe, cutting Raposa off from the magic realm. Since the beginning of creation, Raposa had used magic to accelerate their progress. Magicians used their skills to erect buildings, construct Warp Gates, cure illness, and generally aid society. The start of the modern era was the start of the mundane era.

By year 600, around 270 years since the effects of ''The Purge'', magic usage became thought of a lost art, a myth, as technology took its place. Some magical devices created before the loss of magic remained operational, such as the Warp Gates, and became the only artifacts that could prove the extinct existence of magic. Acclimated to the physical realm, many Raposa grew apprehensive toward the mere thought of magic due to Wilfre's influence. However, this would soon change.

Manere Heinnen, a typical young-adult from ForestStream came across a powerful artifact imbued with ancient magic. His misuse of the object led to its destruction, releasing all the magic trapped within it. Overwhelming quantities of magic flooded into the environment, starting a chain-reaction that led to the slow resurgence of magic worldwide—and imbuing him with control over Shadow. Now, Rapokind must face their apprehensions head on and choose between the mundane and magical, and forge a new way forward.
