1563, chaos strikes in Europe. People died, disappeared, or went mad by the dozens. Eventually it was discovered that these events were caused by creatures, entities of all kinds, none of them natural in any way. It didn't take long before a new breed of humans appeared; Arcanes, offspring of human and the supernatural. These Arcanes showed their difference very young in age, but it was rarely a physical differentiation. Instead, Arcanes were born with powers, abilities that couldn't be explained by any normal human's understanding. Every Arcanes' abilities different from the last, but the main spectrum of their powers originating from their otherworldly parent.
It wasn't long before Arcanes were feared and, inevitably, hunted down. Of course, the Arcanes fought back, some humans banding together with them to form the starting of a rebellion. At first, they just wanted to gain laws that protected the Arcanes' right, but it eventually transformed to a rebellion attempting to overthrow the royal families responsible for the manhunts against them all.
The fighting between the two sides was devastating for every soldier, and anyone who was caught in the middle of their battles, or in the general vicinity. Whole buildings, even towns, were obliterated by magic, catapults, and ballistae. The civil war going on for years, a stalemate between unnatural advantages and overwhelming numbers. Neither side able to get an advantage on the other to finish the war, and defeat the opposing side for good.
