Witchery, as the endless and aged history implies, is an act manipulated by any form of magical means; a diabolical scheme against religion in Western Europe, a symbol of conspicuous power and influence in the Orient.

As the antiquity of mankind unfolded, Westerners procured stature and impact throughout the world. Religious dogma is their supreme weapon, an instrument that cannot be defied - they conquered the world, they destroyed beliefs, they changed humanity. Existence of the supernatural has been compromised; they accused witch doctors to be individuals in league with demons, elements of mysticism and divination to be acts of hell. Large scale witch-hunts framed the powerful ones, cruel treatments were done, death and execution by fire, stones, hanging and guillotine were performed.

The population of the Orient and the rest of mankind affected by the annihilation plan were left no other course of action but to escape and shift to the shadows of the extensive forests and sanctums of the colossal peaks; there they concealed in peace and veiled from the barbaric judgment of the conquerors. They branded the executed, the followers and defenders, the exiles as demons, evils and witches that have no seat in this world but in the fires of hell.

Those who were spared were converted as religious as a form of repentance but some remained and lived in silence and secrecy. It is a life in captivity, a freedom suppressed by the opinionated verdict of the blinded and of the rulers who exploit. They experienced such unfortunate life while those who fled and hid under the cloak of natural world survived with freedom and still live – until now.

Clusters of self-ruling individuals that remained after the elimination of the powerful primed independently with no link to other groups or even the outside world. They shaped new distinctive civilizations with cultures like no other; they nurtured and practiced their natural powers and abilities freely, they grow in number as well as they acquire new strategies to strengthen their forces until they were able to engage again to the rest of the world – a sphere which once decided their fate but now embraces their tales as mere myths and folklores.

Rajjaszya, an unusual and very distinct culture of mortals with powers from different races of Asia, Oceania, and some nearby European nations who were pushed to the forests further and further until they encountered each other and settled behind a majestic peak in an island of Northeast Siberia – is far by known the most substantial and systemized concealed civilization of free enchanters, witches and warlocks. It is a blueprint of a merged ancestry and ideology existing in serenity and tranquility, a conglomeration of different reasoning and senses designed to oppose the real world that instituted their demise. The fall of the mortals, the rise and destruction of such complex civilization were all known and written down in the Creed of the Zodiac.

The annihilation plot, the wretched and corrupted lives of the mortals who remained in the bloodthirsty world, the fate and rise of the free ones, and the looming chaos and doom of their civilization were all perceived by the twelve seers; but what they were not able to know and might not be able to tell is how such fall of a great civilization will happen.
