Magic fills the gaps in which we would apply technology, it is a pervasive force throughout the cosm, and everyone can manipulate magical forces to a small extent. The entire economy of Aysle is currently based on the 'Conjuration' standard - defined by the power of the mages who can easily create and manipulate matter, although barter is the most common manner of trade. A wide pantheon of Hero-Gods is known, whose priests wield much power.
Aysle itself is a deep discworld, and its lands are split between a number of powerful factions; the humans make up several poweful Houses, between which political infighting is common, whilst the Elves remain aloof and secluded. Corsairs, freetraders, barbarians and viking raiders live upon the edges of human society. Dwarves are commonly used by both giants and humans for slave labour, although they do have their own homeland between the two faces of the disc. The Giants reside on the lower face of Aysle.
The leader of the great Houses, Lady Pella Ardinay was originally possessed by the spirit of the Ayslish High Lord, Uthorion, but threw off his domination during the invasion of Earth. Uthorion then disappeared, it is no longer certain that he is still the High Lord, or if his Darkness Device has chosen a successor.
