I've shared it somewhere else but I might as well share my lore dumps here too.

Lunar Syzygy takes place on Tellus, a planet much like ours with the main difference being that it was heavily affected by the actions of gods, magic, and various supernatural beings. Many different sentient races live here, the main five being humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and orcs. There's plenty of other sentient beings, from dragons, to fairies, to nymphs, but they're not as common. The planet's magic takes the form of an energy field that permeates the planet and the beings on it. However, a thousand years before our story begins, magic just up and disappeared, with only very small amounts of it still remaining. This leaves humans and orcs unable to harness it and the other races being severely weakened. Most of the world's dragon population ended up dying off. The next 900 years result in civilizations dependent on magic crumbling, with some eventually developing technology to fill the void that it left. Magic becomes a lost art until over 100 years in the past, when those with close connections to it, mostly elves and gnomes, are somehow able to reconnect. Even then, it's still very weak, consisting of simple illusions and other tricks. That is, until present day when a human becomes the first in 1000 years to harness magic. This is where our story begins.
