Within the Northern Magic Federation, governance is jointly held by the Seven Archmage Clans and the Magic Council. One’s magical aptitude is determined by the purity of their bloodline, ranked from Tier One to Tier Seven. Seventh-Tier Grand Archmages stand as the pinnacle of combat power and form the cornerstone of each clan’s standing.
Those devoid of magic are known as the ""Void-Muted"". They are deemed a disgrace to every magical clan; per federal law, they must be disowned, exiled to the Mortal Districts, and barred from the magical realm for all eternity.
An ancient power known as Void Magic once existed, split into four stages: Devour, Assimilation, Purification, and Domain. It could absorb and merge all conventional magic. The Seven Great Clans once colluded to brand it a ""forbidden dark art"" and launched a purge against its wielders. Surviving Void bloodlines were sealed and scattered across each clan. Should a Void bloodline ever awaken, the bearer will be hunted relentlessly by every magical house.
