<h1>MAGIC AND TECHNOLOGY</h1>
<p>In every Fabula Ultima world, science and magic represent two different ways of studying and manipulating reality: one concerns itself with the tangible nature of matter, the other with the souls that dwell within it — two sides of the same coin.</p>
<p>Miraculous machinery might be hidden beneath the ruins of an ancient civilization, and even the most powerful wizards will often make use of vehicles and airships.</p>
<p>Many of these worlds also feature an unusual discipline that combines magic and technology into magitech: metal soldiers animated by the souls of the fallen, bombs that can unleash elemental mayhem, and flying machines fueled by wind spirits are only a few examples of what can be created by this hybrid craft.</p>
<p>Great castles whose crystal spires reach the sky, fleets of ornate airships emerging from the clouds, vast stretches of enchanted forests, and ancient, sprawling ruins brimming with magical golems and powerful artifacts. A High Fantasy world is an ageless classic and the perfect fit for your Fabula Ultima story.</p>
<h2>HEROES OF MANY SIZES AND SHAPES</h2>
<p>Fabula Ultima’s protagonists are full-fledged heroes, extraordinary individuals that possess unique abilities and whose actions will shape the fate of the world. While some may not be noble paladins or virtuous paragons of justice, even the thieves and dark knights among them have a fundamentally good nature and can be trusted to do the right thing when the situation gets desperate.</p>
<p>In line with the video game genre Fabula Ultima draws inspiration from, our heroes do not follow any rule of realism: be they children with incredible magical powers or elderly warriors able to single-handedly challenge an entire army, all that matters is their strength of spirit.</p>
<h2>HIGH FANTASY THEMES AND PROTAGONISTS</h2>
<p>High fantasy stories often revolve around themes such as hope, friendship, and fighting together against supernatural and world-ending threats.</p>
<p>Their protagonists often come from many different backgrounds:</p>
<ul>
<li>The princess who lost her kingdom to the antagonist's army.</li>
<li>The veteran soldier who pledged to protect the people with her life.</li>
<li>The young, inexperienced hero from a remote village.</li>
<li>The dashing sky pirate with a heart of gold.</li>
<li>The old wizard mentor who spent his life searching for a legendary spell.</li>
<li>The dark knight seeking redemption for his crimes.</li>
</ul>
<p>Together they must overcome their differences and disagreements, forging strong bonds that will allow them to save the world from a terrible fate.</p>
<h2>IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HEROES</h2>
<p>Any relevant event in a game of Fabula Ultima is tied to the heroes, either directly or indirectly. Dramatic plot twists shall happen when the protagonists are present on the scene, and the great powers (and evils) of the world shall pay them special attention.</p>
<p>Following the same logic, the heroes’ determination will allow them to achieve the impossible, such as defeating an empire or sealing away a powerful deity.</p>
<h2>MYSTERY, DISCOVERY, AND GROWTH</h2>
<p>This game is built upon discovery: of ancient mysteries and forgotten powers, yes, but most of all, of the heroes themselves, of their feelings, and of what they are willing to do in order to fight against darkness. Fabula Ultima’s protagonists are complex and sometimes tragic figures, and their journey will change them forever.</p>
