The country of Tabluna is made up of dozens of islands and has always been ruled by a line of human Kings. Inhabited by mostly humans the world is governed by magical means. There are two magical types, the Magus whose powers lay within the Earth and take their magic from things that surround them, and the Paladin who believe in the Powers Above, the one that created all of Tabluna. They believe that their powers were a gift from the Powers Above and are defined as Spirit Magic, the magic from oneself and spirit. {{More information in the Creature index under 'other world creature'}}
The Paladin have always seen the Magus as dark or evil because their magic is not seen as a gift from the Powers Above. There were feuds between the two but the King Rinduic refused to choose sides forcing the two to be at peace. He kept the High Paladin and the High Magus at his side at all times believing in both sides of the magic. When King Rinduic grew ill and died, leaving no known heir to the throne, Tabluna went without a ruler for years.
During these years the High Paladin took it upon themselves to rid Tabluna of the Magus. It an extermination. They destroyed the Magic School in Ibiya on the Isle of Una. The High Paladin finally took the responsibility of ruling Tabluna upon himself. He disbanded the teachings of this Earth Magic and any practicing Magus found was taken to the Tower of the Paladin and locked away to later be executed.
There are still those who practice Earth Magic regardless but are very careful as to not be caught. This has continued for nearly a century. THe High Paladin still rules over Tabluna.
