"The end of magicks among the people of Gyrvan marked the close of an age of insanity, when men sought to be gods. Her people had turned to a disciple of Truth and Knowledge, shunning all occult affairs. They had unraveled the secrets of the world around them, to understand the interlocking forces that moved within Nature. Theirs became the power of reality, not sorceries and spells woven by capricious deities."
