Magic in the cords of Life
In the world of the future, man created his own successors. They were not fashioned of some pure thought or lifeless metal, as many feared, but came from the same genetic pools and life which already existed. It was 2096 when the first "furs" were created- human/animal mixtures with a human-like body, an animal head, tail, claws, and fur. First were the Foxes, not long after the Rats, then Wolves, then Weasels.... soon the humans tried to shut it down, but others were developed in secrecy. We do not know all of the races, nor the exact nature of the cataclysm which followed during the year known to men as 2148 A.D., but the results were painfully obvious.
A world came into being which was many worlds once again, as technology was almost erased and the great civilizations and industries were gutted, then looted. On the west coast, a handful of small cities, called the Enclaves, clung to technology- what little they had- and formed a mixture of human and fur society. It was not always a pleasant mixture, but after the disaster few dared argue the logic that an unpleasant survival was better than an unpleasant oblivion. On the other side of a large desert land, and down a cliff which extended for 1500 miles or more, lay another set of lands where the very concept of human was virtually unknown, and where the furs who worked, lived, and died there lived at a level lower than the Enclaves- one closer to the medieval past they did not remember. Lower, that is, except for one thing: the ability to sense and use the life powers in all living and many non-living things. The ability that came to be known as magic....
It is now over 1500 years since the old order vanished. The Fur Heartlands nation has been in existence for over 1100 of those years, and few if any know the totality of the world in which they live. Several learned much over the course of their lives, though, and it is around them that our attention centers- in a fox fur magician known as Lilith from the Heartlands, her half sister Charrnidia from the Enclaves, and the other lives they touched on their journey.
