=== Ordii ===
When the Old Empire unleashed their forbidden magic in the very end of the Magic Wars, it shattered the work generations of magicians. As the cataclysm struck, ancient seals protecting the low lands simply faded, allowing the sea to undo their great work. The Imperial City was spared from the floods, but in the ensuing riots, pillaging and wars of reclaiming, it was reduced to rubble and still stands on a lone island in the archipelago. The only remaining faction of power was the amazing monastery of Ordii and the great city surrounding it, and it was there the remaining mages and Graven Blades retreated to weather the storm. While the fractions they left behind rebuilt and warred, the Ordii worked silently to secure anything of value from the old cities and took it to the vaults of the monastery to be kept from prying eyes.

Despite the fact that to approach the gates of Ordii without sanction from its silent guardians means death, the city is still considered the greatest in the world. Even the glass spires on Amenai can't stand up to the might of Ordii's obsidian towers.
