A Great War has engulfed the world, bringing known civilization to an end, and with it the birth of a new age, an age where science and technology where shunned and the ancient arts of sorcery and magic were revived.

As the survivors slowly begin to rebuild their world, towns and villages begin to flourish and wizards and the most capable wizards use their magic to maintain order, however, a powerful wizard named Draygon began to study the principles of the machines, combining magic with technology I build a computer capable of simulating magical powers and place it on top of a fortified floating tower.
