Tales of Gaea

Tales of Gaea is a journey via the role-playing experience. Gaea is a world where magic has grown along side logic and the needs of the people who use it. Magic serves the people of Gaea much the same way science serves the people of earth. In other words, Gaea is a world where the "laws of magic" have supplanted the "laws of science". For instance, all magic on Gaea conserves energy or channels power from another source while the mage/cleric/mystic gives it form. Here is a world where many cultures are represented from the familiar to the bizarre. These many cultures live in close proximity and this often leads to clashes in war and trade while allowing many blendings of the different ideologies. This creates a world where elves, dwarves, humans, solaan-lesthra, kolba, orcs, gnomes and many other races compete for material and space. Often the conflicts will spill over from one race to another and sometimes it is internal.

The various religions play a big part as well as political organizations. The faith of Auto hunts elves for the slaying of their messiah. It is holy doctrine to kill all elves and the Banquerian Empire is caught as a tool of the Autoean Heffa or high priest. A separate sect, the Orthodox Church of Turin, preaches tolerance and forgiveness. They seek the enlightenment of men and the peaceful cohabitation of all races. This philosophy of universal peace and understanding often puts the Orthodox Church in harms way of the crusaders of the Holy Banquerian Church. This is but one of hundreds of faiths on Gaea.
