Across the known world, sorcerous societies see the failure of the magic more starkly, driving desperate attempts at regaining their power and abilities, but with costs beginning to far exceed tangible results. Tenuous grips upon the power these groups once held keeps them together, for now, but already division amongst their ranks begins to grow, like a weed unnoticed in a garden. Organizations formerly far more open to discourse and invention, even in the aftermath of the Doom of Valyria and the Century of Blood, draw into themselves, becoming secretive, mistrustful, and slow to accept change and new ideas. Others, claiming to be grounded in the realities of the world, are driven by newfound purpose to rewrite the histories so recently lived, to put certain men in better light, or to damn the memories of those they see fit to do so. In this, the quill truly shows its might over the sword.
