Exile (MTAw)

After the fall of Atlantis, the Mages fled to their homelands all around the world, hoping to escape the numbness of the newly formed Abyss within their souls. This time is also called the Exile, as humanity was once again delivered to the moods of spirits and monsters, and the light of magic had been reduced to a faint memory.

During this period, many lost the contact to the Realms Supernal and began to Sleep, some started to hoard atlantean artifacts in order to remember themselves of the mystical heritage they once claimed and others formed new legacies, freed from atlantean dogma that has restricted them for so long, and finding their own way to approach the mysteries.

The Exile ended when the first watchtowers pierced through the darkness and new sleepers began to awaken, so that the awakened society could reform and regroup.
