Each government is based on a god, and those who live there worship said deity, living in its name and waiting for the day it shall return to the material plane.

As such, Arcanists are hunted down as heretics, often hiding in small groups in underground caverns, or hidden away in the mountains. Each god works to further its agenda, and while several are allies, many are enemies, their followers constantly in conflict. Others still hide in the shadows, waiting to strike and gain power. |
