Earth

Earth is a planet in the Solar System.

History
Earth was home to the humans, an advanced civilization dedicated to technological progress.

There was no AUR present in Earth's crust. Humans discovered AUR within a ring of asteroids, most likely the main asteroid belt in the Solar System. They then discovered that AUR is a potent energy source and used it as fuel to power their machines. However, further research showed that AUR was genuinely magical. Thus, two opposing factions of humanity emerged: the First Wizards, who revered the mythical nature of AUR and used it for sorcery, and the Technists, who rejected those ideas and continued to burn AUR as an energy source in their search for technological progress.

This led to a civil war between those two factions, from which the First Wizards emerged victorious. They exiled the remaining Technists to space, who took the remaining AUR with them. The First Wizards then proceeded to destroy every machine on Earth. With the AUR gone and the technological advances reduced to the Stone Age, Earth's civilization collapsed completely into savagery.

The Technists travelled the galaxy, discovering other civilizations with similar ideologies. They would later become part of an alliance known as the Teknos.
