A Brief History of Magic is a companion piece to the fantasy thriller novel, A Nightmare of Magic and Madness. These articles introduce readers to the people and history of the magical world of Cyrrn.
From The Chronicles of Utta Marvew, Wanderer of Cyrrn
My name is Utta Marvew. It has been many years since I left the hamlet of my childhood to forge a way for myself in the world. Never would I have imagined in those early days my life would be an endless journey of discovery. I have walked the lands of Cyrrn, shore to shore, and sailed beyond to distant coasts. Throughout my travels, I have met many people and learned many things about our world, our history, and our magic. Some of these things are known by many, and others only imagined by a few.
Now that my hair is gray and my legs are tired, I decided it was time to share my knowledge. I am not an educated scholar or regal noble and will not attempt to write in such lofty ways. My goal is to pass on what I know in a way people can understand and pass on to others.
Perhaps it will inspire some of you to wander in search of new mysteries and lost truths.
