Their Stories - Year 1
There was a war, a war that destroyed almost everything. The Casters had incantations and spells, but the Norms had weapons and outnumbered the Casters. But as time passed and months of war turned into years, both sides grew weary. Tired of bloodshed and living in fear, they called a truce and decided to coexist, and they did. Compromises were made, and laws were passed to protect those without casting abilities. The Casters had to be marked, and harsh punishments were put on them for using their abilities in unauthorized ways. However, the Casters followed the rules and obeyed the laws, and for hundreds of years, both Casters and Norms lived seamlessly together. Well, almost seamlessly. Whispers spread in the Caster community, complaints about the unfair laws, prejudices, and cruel penalties. The whispers became louder and angrier and the ones stoking the flames were the Draxtons.
Considered the strongest, richest, and most powerful of the 'Original Ten' families, the Draxton's had always been in a position of power in the Caster community and were well respected and trusted. So when the head of the family, Fabian Draxton, called for reform and change Casters listened. He talked of equality, stabilization of power, and taking back the pride and strength that The gods themselves gave Casters. Many followed him blindly, and when the time was right, Fabian started his rebellion, but it wasn't what he promised. Ruthless tactics were taken, and the true nature of Fabian came to the surface. Thousands were killed. Any man, woman, or child who spoke against his methods was executed whether they supported him or not. With the support of his brothers, he took everything, dominating, destroying, and controlling until his own people finally took him down. After having his left hand publicly amputated, Fabian was imprisoned for life in a high-security prison while the rest of the world began to recover with the promise of change and equality. Years later, Norms and Casters coexist again, just like before, but the whispers are back as the younger generation of Casters reaches adulthood and sees the same treatment as before. No changes, only broken promises.
