"Sing, O Muse, of the four colors splashed across the world in the wake of the Divine Alexander! Sing of the cyan screens of the mausolikons! Sing of the magenta sails of the aetheremes! Sing of the yellow-bronze armor of the kolossi! Sing of the black dreams of kings and wonder-makers, who hold the key to power over all the world! Sing of Reality Thaumata, the world of wonders!
This world takes its shape from an artistic sensibility, which drives technology and history alike. This is the syncretic, utopian, sensual world of the Hellenistic Age, the age when the Seven Wonders -- both thaumata, or "magics," and themata, "marvels" -- of the World were completed and compiled. (All seven Wonders only co-existed for about 50 years, from the completion of the Lighthouse at Pharos, in 282 B.C., to the destruction of the Colossus of Rhodes in the earthquake of 226 B.C.) During the centuries after Alexander the Great's death, poets refashioned the old myths into new poetics. Apollonios of Rhodes assembled a league of extraordinary Argonauts in the last Greek epic, and artists painted the gods as beautiful yet fallible figures both sublime and earthy. In Reality Thaumata, the mood is one of high contrast and hyperkinetic action, erotic love and epic hubris. It's Yoshiyuki Tomino vs. David Drake in an anime-antique mashup for all the marbles!"
There is divine magic in this world but it is unclear if it is sanctuary or mana based.
