History

Antamoivi is an exclusive continent formed and founded during a time when magic first arose, known as the Age of Rebirth. Since its founding, it has been a federal monarchy under the rule of the Wolfe family.

​

Age of Suffering

The years 4000-0000 Before Rebirth (BR) are collectively deemed to be dark history, a propagandic effort consisting of oppression and withholding of information by the government. As such, not much is known about this period.

​

Age of Rebirth

This age, lasting between 0000-0180 After Rebirth (AR), is considered the beginning of the world.

In 0000, an irregular virus first appeared from nowhere, mutating its hosts and giving them extraordinary control over various forms of energy - thermal, chemical, nucleic, magnetic, electrical, kinetic, sound, and so on. Due to the unstoppable spread of the virus, all plants and animals eventually gained the ability to rapidly manipulate energy. This ability was quickly dubbed as magic. However, the virus's effect manifested differently in each creature; for instance, certain humans gained improved dexterity, some gained the ability to generate heat, while some did not gain any ability at all.

Though most of the abilities revolved around energy, some creatures gained the ability to manipulate the atomic makeup of substances and completely transform nature; one example is the legendary Dorobaki, which is rumoured to be a single whale that breathes in water and breathes out soil; another example is the Jade Phoenix, a new species of bird that form flocks to fly around the world, absorbing all greenhouse gases wherever they pass and replacing them with clean air.

The Jade Phoenixes' work alleviated much of humanity's air pollution. Water pollution was also quickly relieved when new aquatic creatures that consume plastics and filth were discovered. As a result, humans became less aware of the damage that would have been caused by the activities that used to be detrimental to the environment, since they became less of an issue. On the other hand, the presence of the Dorobaki threatened to reduce the amount of water in the world. Ironically, it became the creature that was slowly leading the world to its demise. As such, humanity took to itself to solve the problem through intensive
research on magic as well as the formation of task forces to search for this elusive creature.

Between 0000 to 0010 AR, the world fell into chaos; the economy became unstable, class divisions emerged between those who had superior abilities and those who did not, and the ecosystem as the world before knew it underwent multiple overhauls.

In 0011, a great man from Greece known as Nikolas Oikonomou discovered Antamoivi, which was then a new continent that was created by the Dorobaki, and colonised it. Myths have it that he single-handedly fended off an army of magical wolves, hence he was named king and became known as Nikolas Oikonomou Wolfe. At that point, Antamoivi was named Earthland.

Between 0011 to 0050, Nikolas developed Earthland into civilisation. He then passed the crown to his daughter, Thea Wolfe, who ruled between 0050 to 0150, before passing the crown to her son, Gale Wolfe, when she passed away.

Gale Wolfe was a scientist before he turned to politics. As a result, his rule came with a lot of scientific developments. In 0180, he made a breakthrough so huge that it launched a new age, The Age of Indemnity.

​

Age of Indemnity

The Age of Indemnity marked a second rebirth for Earthland. For a start, Gale renamed the continent as Antamoivi. At the start of this age, Gale and his team of scientists had also discovered a way to use magic and science to turn any plant or animal, humans included, into a spell-controlled puppet which they called Familiars. Familiars also gained great power, drawing from whoever was using them.

The Familiar Project threw the structure of the world into even greater disorder; inequality, previously already apparent, was now amplified. People who had a weak affinity to magic were outrightly considered to be inferior. Nobles and talented magic users were taught how to turn creatures into Familiars. Very soon, these users became known as Tamers. Corrupted tamers quickly turned to enslaving inferior humans as Familiars.

This brought rise to civil unrest amongst those without magical abilities; even money cannot help them. Any riot or uprising, however, is easily quelled by those with magical powers, especially with the help of Familiars.

The use of Familiars quickly became tools used for sports, pastimes, and the military. While Antamoivi itself had yet to participate in any war, Familiars were heavily utilised in training and simulation.

In 0280, Gale's son, Zephyr Wolfe was born.

In 0290, Gale's wife was assassinated. In response, hundreds of non-magically-inclined slum dwellers near the capital were accused and executed, including the parents of Zephyr's best friend, Giri Chanda in an incident dubbed as the Chanda Brutality. Giri Chanda was publicly flogged for being a threat towards Zephyr, which resulted in protests that were quickly shut down.

However, the incident sparked the founding of a resistance group known as the People's Strength Movement, which would later be renamed as the Super Fightback Group. However, in the big picture of the world, it failed to have more prominence than what it represented.

​

Age of Insubordination

In 0300, an unexpected experiment caused another viral outbreak, which resulted in some human Familiars becoming mutated and turning into monsters so powerful that it took entire teams of talented magic users and tamers to even subdue one such mutated person.

This phenomenon, dubbed Monsterfication, remains unexplained and scientists are scurrying for a way to find out more about it. What they managed to find out, however, is that humans would only get mutated when they are infected with the virus as well as goes through an extremely emotional experience.

In response, any human who was deemed to be infected were quarantined in a town where they were forced to be happy 24/7. This town was clumsily named Smile Town.

Later on, in 0302, a riot broke out in the slums due to several factors, including the attempted assassination of Gale Wolfe as well as human slavery in the form of Familiars. This riot is the biggest one Antamoivi had experienced. It is known as the 0302 Riot.

This is the point in which the story is focused on.
