The Magitech Mage

I want to talk about all things Rift. I will be talking about PvE and PvP from a mages point of view. As well as talking about the rich history of Telara, in game changes and the effects it has, as well as some little known secrets Rift has to offer.

                It's the magical technology that is powered by Telara itself. When it was conceived it allowed the races to push back the evil blood storm. It has been the catalyst of the greatest cities Telara has ever seen, and can even stop death. This is the power given to those who harness magitech

              My eyes lit up when I saw that the defiant were using magitech as the source of their might. Not because it's an awesome name, not because it looks like something Nicolas Tessla would dream about, and not even because it was an awesome  mechanical nightmare from FF IV. It's because when I first saw magitech it was something that was believable something that I could relate to.  It's technology with a twist! Maybe that's the reason Trion decided to make magitech such a huge part of the lore in Rift, because it's something that we can relate to, something that almost feels like it's real, but at the same time has a little twist of fantasy...

The Blood Storm Wars

                Each of the Ethian cities was more magnificent than the last one all of them able to produce wonders that would leave the rest of the citizens in awe. but all good things must come to an end, and a tragic end it was.  The dragon hordes couldn't be fully contained... Laethys used her unstable appetite for greed to manipulate and coheres the Ethian people and before long the government was rotting from the inside out.  The sorcerer-kings saw this corruption and how it had consumed their once great cities. There was nothing even the mightiest of the sorcerers  could do to stop it. The decision was reached. The Conviction was cast... With that one spell the most advanced cities in Telara were swallowed by the sands never to seen again.
