Magis

The Magis ( ᒲᔑ⊣╎ᓭ ) are an inter-dimensional species that arrived to the continent a few thousand years after the apparition of intelligent human life. They have spread all around the world of Rathnir, gathering in the continents surrounding their arrival point.

Origins
Most legends about the Old Universe ( 𝙹ꖎ↸ ⚍リ╎⍊ᒷ∷ᓭᒷ ) describe the Ancient Magis as possessing extremely advanced magic-like technologies and deep knowledge of the Glint ( ⊣ꖎ╎リℸ ̣ ). According to legend the Old Universe was destroyed by the supremes of Blaze ( ʖꖎᔑ⨅ᒷ ) and End ( ᒷリ↸ ).

Both deities fighting for the control of inter-dimensional travel caused the universe to collapse on itself in an unprecedented cataclysm, bringing the Ancient Magis to the verge of extinction. It is said their true supreme achieved a metempsychosis (reincarnation) in the Overworld as the Withering Supreme ( ∴╎ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷ ) and brought the remaining survivors to Rathnir.

Stranded in an unknown world and facing a harsh new environment, most of the survivors perished during the first few decades. The remaining Ancient Magis split into different groups, many stayed in Sørligste, their continent of arrival.

Others continued to follow their new supreme, who promised them a place to live and settle. However, the Overworld inhabitants recognised the Whither's powers and have made it their mission to hunt every one of its reincarnations to harness its unique properties.

Finally, smaller groups of Magi went on to settle in the nearby continents, merging with the Overworld inhabitants and passing on their knowledge of immortality and sharing their technology in the form of enchantments. Nowadays different Magi ethnic groups can be found all around Rathnir.
