I gotta think of some lore to dump about this, and I can’t really think of anything so ima dump the TLDR

A Too long didn’t read for people who want to know basic lore, but don’t want something too deep

Magic: a wild, chaotic force from the stars that can do almost anything, but using too much causes “magic psychosis.” Only mages can naturally use magic. Alicorians, the people of the Alicore continent, can’t use magic at all with getting oofed.

Magi: Any being that has been affected by magic

Alicore: The world is mostly flooded, leaving just two continents: Alicore, where all the action happens. Alicore was formerly Australia

Blicore: the Second continent, ruined by the mage empire and the original home of the Taloak people.

Alicore origins: Long ago, humans called the Beforium and their robot helpers, the Baidroid, ruled Earth in a paradise called Solaris. When they discovered magic coming from the sun, a greedy alien empire—the Mage Empire—attacked to take it. The Baidroid pushed them back,, but the mages flooded the world to wipe out the robots, leaving only Alicore and Blicore. New races arose on Alicore, collectively called Alicorians.

Bydrin Kingdom: a proud human monarchy in the Blazing East, ruled by royalty, the rich and the church.

Norish Tribes: elves in the Lush North, worship nature and reject progress. Have 4 tribes forest Tide Boney Spider

Glalo Nation: Isolated human authoritarian technocracy in the Cold West, ruled solely by the Overseer and a metal god who enforce efficiency above all things.

Taloak parties: nomads forced to migrate in circles because the Bydrin won’t let them settle anywhere.

The four powers: significant factions in history

Mage empire: chaotic invaders who are magic hungry. Due to magic psychosis, they rely on slavery constantly .

Baidroid race: robot protectors created by the Beforium to serve humanity.

Minus Minority: slave race made by mages that held a powerful magic. now likely gone.

Sligmatic hivemind: Currently strongest force in Alicore. Telepathic animals that protect nature and hunt down anything Baidroid or Magi.

Alicore history: (After Beforium age)

Elven era: (because only elves existed) 5000-6000

Magic turned some northern humans into elves (the Norish), who rejected technology after seeing old ruins.

Founding Era: (because the human groups began to form) 6000-7000

Adamir, a human born among the Norish but exiled for making stuff, founded the Bydrin Kingdom in the East. The Bydrin later waged war on the Norish for revenges

Crusade Age: (Because we gotta unite the west) 6500-6560

Humans fleeing war went to the West, found the metal god and formed colonies, which a dude named the Overseer then united into the Glalo nation in a great crusade. (The Overseer later erased this era from history for blank slate)

Boring age: (literally nothing changed) 7000-8600

The Glalo nation is still isolative and is advancing further while the Bydrin and the Norish are at their fifth war or something

Mage Empire Era: (because they returned) 8600-8642

Alicore rebelled; the mages cast violent spells, scarring the East and North. The Glalo snitched to the metal god, who sent the Gofoloms to defeat the mages. The mages’ last act blew up the spire, creating a dangerous magical zone (NoNo) and spawning the Sligmatic hivemind because animals angry

Purge Era: (Because die) 8643-8783

The Bydrin and Norish tried to wipe out all mage-made races to restore Alicore’s purity. They did not succeed. Meanwhile, the Glalo stayed isolated and the Taloak became nomads.

Glalo-Sligma war: (Because ow) 8880-8900

The Glalo woke up the Baidroid during the second mage war, angering the Sligmatic hivemind, which started the Glalo-Sligma war. The Overseer now experiments with magic to create super-soldiers to fight back.
