Hmmm, the current plan was for the alchemists before /mag/ to migrate through the continent due to persecution about a millenia before the current time, before settling on a small chunk of then unclaimed land on the edge of the holocontinent and forming the nation of /mag/ (this is mainly because we would have to carve up some other nations to get a spot on the map). From there on we would enter some centuries of peace and prosperity, with various guilds of alchemists using their knowledge to spread many, many potent drugs around the continent, acquiring wast wealth. Then some wars with neighbours happened, a pretty devastating civil war as well, and the nation came out changed, now taking the name of /MANS/. This would be the current time, and our starting point for lore writing.
