The triumph of house Skyla was both due to good fortune and strong tactical leaders. Skyla's land was upon a large vein of thaumium. This material, both resilient, easily shaped, and imbued with magical energies, effectively made their early victories. Neighbouring armies were outmatched, and one by one they were added to Skyla. And in order to instil loyalty, defeated leaders were made into nobles if they surrendered, and beheaded if they didn't. Over time, only three significant nations remained in contention with Skyla. The king decided that a solution that was radical for its time. All of of the witch doctors, shamans, druids, that were feared and lived on the outskirts of villages, were to be united, under a council and given legitimacy. This in turn gave him the first recorded army of mages. The other nations were ruined by rains of fire and other spells. Soon, Skyla ruled over the entire continent.
