I don't suppose there is much we can say for the time that came before now. They were dark times, this we know, they are times that may or may not have been best forgotten. While many look to the future, the intelligent souls have kept at heart the lessons of the past. Still, it seems as though things must invariably repeat themselves, it is the way of the universe, time moving forward and backwards all at once, passing this way and that like a tailor's needle.
What is Miria now? A land of change, of eyes turned to the horizon, watchful for the next great development. Yes, technology is held in higher regard than magic in these times. Some would see this as a tragedy, a loss of respect for the old ways, forgetting tradition for the gleaming new steam powered machinery that drives the wheels of progress. However, some have seen it as a boon to magic... as there are many secrets, arcane and strange, that for now must be kept secret from the world.
Fires burn in the distance... we gain the future and loose the past. The more we come to learn the more we begin to question and the more we realize we know nothing. This is Miria in the Age of Steel and Steam.
