Description
At the heart of the Alin society is magic, an all-powerful source of energy that the Alin people have come to embrace since time immemorial. Without it, the Alin would not have crafted the civilization that they have today; and ironically, it was magic that gave birth to Sawu’s legion of Dark Glass creatures, and resulted in the eventual burial of the legendary city of Mezekesh under the sands of the Kalahese Desert. Magic on its own isn’t inherently good or evil – it merely follows the user’s own will. So far, three distinct branches of Alin magic have been identified – Sand, Fire and Glass Magic - each branch having a following of users known as Mystics, and every creature and unit in the Alin army is associated with one of the three branches. Each unit is summoned to the battlefield by means of magic Circles of its associated branch, which can be summoned literally anywhere in the field, provided there are no obstructions in the way of the desired site.

—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
