== '''The First Generation''' ==

The First Generation Diasporans, or in their dialect, The Ancestral People or simply The People, are the ones who are descended from the ancient, original inhabitants of the realm, before it was broken up, those who have never been reborn.  Currently, there are some 300 million of them, living mostly within the Seven Cities or in other near-portal settlements in the smaller realms.

The People have been building, adapting, and growing in the way of any culture for several millenia, placed under constant strain and in the face of ever-present danger.  While none of them are ever fully safe, for the most part they have learned to manage the continual monster attacks and natural hazards of their world, and so they can expect to live as long as first world people of the modern world - and while their technology might be somewhat behind the curve in comparison to the modern world, they more than make up for it in magic and magitech.

Indeed, as far as the Diasporans are concerned, the rules of Sorcery are simply more natural laws to be learned, understood, and exploited for the betterment of all Diasporans.  But this is not a fast process, or a simple one, since the laws of magic seem to be nearly as complex and numerous as the realms.  It is said that there is a school of magic native to each of the realms, and that only by exploring and understanding all of the realms fully can one comprehend the full extent of magic within the realms.  Whether true or not, such exploration is likely to be far simpler than the extensive study needed.
