Author's note: This article is intended for participants to collaborate on figuring stuff out. It'll be easier if you keep this page up to date. Also, hanging around #rubyquest or #tgchan when I'm updating is a Good Idea. Also, feel free to put wild theories in the discussion page, or the questdis thread.

Non-Authors note: This page was getting to be fucking huge, so information pertaining directly to the magic system has been moved to Tiffany: Runes

History

Long ago there existed powerful city-states ruled by wizard kings. They did all sorts of stuff that pissed off the Lords of the Underworld, who eventually went to war with the mortals. The war was known as the Harrowing, and was apparently devastating for the mortal side. Eventually the wizards did something that forced the Lords to agree to peace, and the peace treaty is known as the Compact. The exact contents of the Compact are so far unknown, but it essentially forbids the extension of life by magic and returning the dead to life etc. It also defines the duties and rules of the Guardian of the Underworld. It also tasks the mortals to create and maintain the border of the Underworld, known as the Threshold.

Magic

Main page: Tiffany: Runes Every creature is composed of three parts. There's "tuaftia" or "soul", "hanku" or "breath" and "haftsusha" or "spirit". Tuaftia is like that part of your soul that is uniquely yours. It was created when you were born and it will travel to the Underworld when you die. Haftsusha is more of a hand-me-down. Some time after your birth a spirit will choose you as it's host and when you die it will eventually find a new host. The exact criteria that spirits use to pick hosts is a little hazy, but they do tend to stick to specific family lines. It's also connected to the person's name. That's where the tradition of naming children after famous ancestors comes from, by the way. The haftsusha carries personality traits and stuff like that. It's what does magic. Runes are used to define the manner in which an effect should occur, and the haftsusha makes it happen.
