Kystle

Kystle is one of the planes in the Epilogue and Interlude universes. 
==Inhabitants==
Kystle is natively occupied by humans, but has been visited by Fae and invaded by Pythial.
==Geography==
The geography of Kystle is not specified in detail. Its ecosystem is originally broadly similar to Earth's with respect to flora, fauna, tides, seismic activity and so forth. After it is invaded by the Pythial and abandoned, it remains mostly similar, though large swathes of vegetation are wrecked and the terrain has become noticeably rougher.
==Society==
Early human society was destroyed by the arrival of the Fae and the first halfblood. After that the mages took over, living in a feudal-style system of small warring factions who rule over humans as peasants. After the invasion by the Pythial, no formal society exists and the remaining inhabitants scramble to survive as best they can.
==Magic==
Humans who have interbred with Fae produce mages. Humans or mages can also become Tainted from contact with a Pythial.
==History==
Recorded history begins with the first bloodline, as most of the history from before that time has been lost.
===First Bloodline===
After the Fae first visited Kystle, they left a halfblood child behind. This child, powerfully magical and completely insane, went on a rampage, and fathered a number of children who became the first mage bloodline. After his death, records of early history had been lost, and his magical descendants had scattered into warring factions. As they married humans and their fae blood became diluted, their power began to wane over time.
===Second Bloodline===
The second bloodline was begun by a halfblood named Varinar. His mother, unaware of the mental instability problems in halfbloods, encouraged him to rule with her acting as shadow ruler. As he grew up he became less and less stable until he eventually killed his mother in a fit of temper. Varinar then ruled as an increasingly irrational tyrant until his children managed to rebel and murdered him. His descendants continued in a war of intrigue with the first bloodline until the appearance of the next halfblood.
