History

Twenty thousand years before the main story, the Mage Plane was a small, resource-starved world in which mages fought one another for dwindling resources. Two True Spirits initiated a revolution: they altered the plane’s essence, ended the cycle of internal conflict, and established Plane Sacrifice as a means of replenishing the world through external plunder. This began the Mage World’s expansion into the Void 11.

Plane Sacrifice became central to the civilization’s growth. During the Khatos campaign, the Mage World’s Origin absorbed the Dragon Plane’s Origin; the Dragon Plane then disappeared completely 213. The Titan Plane was later integrated differently: its Origin was absorbed while the Titans were relocated to an orbital sub-plane whose environment could reproduce their former homeland 306.

The Mage World later entered an information age through Personal Chips, Big Data, Cloud Computing, and the Virtual World. These systems expanded education, research, communication, and combat training across the civilization 333 417 421. Its political structure also broadened beyond the original Holy Towers: the Eighth Holy Tower was established in the Dark Realm, while Wanxiang’s Immortal Dao became the basis for the First Immortal Mystery Tower 542 513.

Plane Structure

• The Mage World is flat rather than spherical 11.
• Its real-world structure includes the outer world, the main Material World, and an Inner World containing the Holy Towers 388.
• The Crystal Wall System functions as the Mage World’s equivalent of Mage’s Armor. It draws free Void energy inward and expels low-quality waste energy through World Breathing 353.
• The world’s coordinates are encrypted by the True Spirit Mages, preventing other-plane beings from locating and descending into it in their physical forms 70.
• Plane expansion and Origin absorption have created additional sub-planes orbiting the Mage World 512.

World Origin

The Mage World’s Origin is the foundation of its collective magical system. Upon advancing, a mage may contract with it: the mage verifies the Origin’s existence, while the Origin grants power and protection 145.

• The Origin can supply Mana directly through a mage’s connection to the Magic Net 335.
• It absorbs or stores the Origins of conquered planes, increasing the Mage World’s scale and energy reserves 213 334.
• It can simulate suitable environments for integrated subordinate races in sub-planes 306.
• The True Spirits’ long-term objective is to evolve the Mage World into a super-life form capable of absorbing the energy of the Aether, the Void, and even Hypervoid Life 391.

Magic Net

The Magic Net is a soul-based network maintained through the World Origin, the World Guardian, and the True Spirit Mages.

• It connects mages across planes and distances, allowing communication during interdimensional warfare 88.
• Mages contribute Mana to the Origin through meditation; the Origin can then return vast amounts of energy to mages who require it 146.
• It protects War Mages from hostile World Wills and from beings attempting to spy on their souls during plane conquest 88.
• It remains functional even when a mage leaves the Mage World, as it exists as a soul-based organ rather than a physical structure 146.
• Its collective protection prevents the Mage World’s coordinates from being exposed to hostile civilizations 146.
• The Magic Net later became the foundation for Personal Chips and the Virtual World 333 421.

Political Order

Holy Towers and the Council

• The Mage Council governs major civilization-wide matters, including Magic Net authority, Origin use, academy policy, and the establishment of new Towers 333 393.
• Holy Towers serve as major centers of research, education, war, administration, and interplanar expansion 542.
• The Holy Tower Faction is opposed politically by the Free Faction, whose members resist Holy Tower authority while benefiting from the wider Mage system 396 412.
• The World Guardian oversees the Origin and cooperates with the Council on projects affecting the Mage World’s foundations 337 392.

Mortals and Education

The Mage World generally avoids directly governing short-lived mortals. Mages consider mortal political struggles temporary and prefer to intervene only when those struggles threaten education, magical order, or wider civilization interests 520.

• The Academy Continent operates a universal education system with Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Academies 520.
• Personal Chips and the Virtual World reduce the gap between ordinary apprentices and exceptionally talented students by expanding access to training and knowledge 421.
• The Academy Continent later adopts a parliamentary system, with the Johnson Family assigned leadership of the Upper House 530.

Conquest and Integration

World or civilization	Mage World policy and outcome
Dragon Plane	Its Origin was extracted through Plane Sacrifice; the plane and its Origin vanished completely 213
Titan Plane	The Titans became a subordinate race. Their Origin was absorbed, while the Titan population was relocated to a Mage World sub-plane 306
Warlock Civilization	The surviving Warlocks joined as contracted allies and received Personal Chips for wartime coordination 445
Immortal Civilization	Wanxiang voluntarily joined the Mage World, contributed the Immortal Dao system, and received approval to establish the First Immortal Mystery Tower 513
Void Dragon Clan	The clan became a high-level allied race after negotiating rights and benefits with the Mage World 521 535

The Mage World does not conceal the predatory nature of its wars. Its War Mages openly declare conquest as the will of the Origin rather than framing invasions as salvation or justice 210.

Technology and Infrastructure

Personal Chips

Personal Chips connect users to the Magic Net and provide communication, information processing, and access to shared systems. Adam’s Big Data and Cloud Computing proposal expanded their role from auxiliary tools into infrastructure for the Mage World’s information age 333 334.

Virtual World

The Virtual World is a soul-accessible simulated world built upon the Magic Net and Origin-based systems.

• It supports communication unrestricted by distance, virtual research, combat simulations, trials, duels, and customizable instance spaces 417.
• Its time-flow settings can increase research efficiency and allow dangerous experiments to be conducted without endangering the real world 417.
• Mages access it by using their Personal Chips to upload their souls into the system 421.
• After centuries of development, it becomes integral to daily social activity, research, trials, and entertainment for large numbers of mages 512.

Void Transit

By the final era, portals, teleportation tracks, and Dimensional Hubs allow travelers to reach locations throughout the Void for a price 564.

Ideology and Objectives

• Knowledge is treated as the foundation of Mage civilization and the principal source of magical strength 562.
• Collective evolution is favored over isolated individual advancement; the Magic Net transforms mages from separate lives into a collective existence 146.
• The Mage World seeks continued expansion, resource acquisition, and eventual Transcendence beyond the Aether Void 391 433.
• The Council later limits uncontrolled native expansion and Origin sacrifice, fearing that excessive ambient energy would make power too easy to obtain and stagnate knowledge development 535.
