The year is 2028 and it seems things just keep getting worse. Forty years ago the mages that assisted in the development of technology for the past century vanished. Highly coveted "Mage-tech," magically enhanced technology that fed off ambient mana in the area, was hoarded by the nations. Of course with the hoarding and distrust came wars which left most of the world a magically radioactive wasteland. The last useable lands are locked away in Nests, enormous flying biospheres supporting hundreds of thousands. Unfortunately the magical runes and enchantments on the engines of these flying havens are quickly decaying. In the past month two more Nests have crashed and without repair many more will until the last of humanity is finally wiped out.
Aboard the Venitia Gallant, Ty is an engineer. A highly respected job, he works in tandem with the hundred or so other engineers to maintain the Nest as best as the mundane humans can. Day after day he watches the Gallant slowly decay over the strain her population puts her. That is until one late working shift he notices a fluctuation in the mana of the engine output. In a desperate struggle to prevent the engine from overcharging and exploding, he releases the emergency power coupling system and is knocked out cold...
Spoon waking up Ty noticed 3 things: 1. He wasnt dead. Small victories right? 2. The engine seemed to be working fine again. Ok, larger victories. 3. There was someone laying on the floor across from him and were they... covered in mage robes?! Thinking quickly, Ty brought the person back to his small home hoping that they were ok.
