During the rise of the powerful and unpredictable Coretouched beings, the others of Corron… suffered greatly. Wars raged over each continent -- elven realms, dwarven tunnels, human kingdoms and many more races -- crumbled and were also lifted to unthinkable power through the insidious control of the flow.
The Coretouched fused their life essence with the flow that pulsed from the planet's core. Within that pulse was the raw energy needed to grant them supreme manipulation capabilities over the planet's radiation. Corronites not affected by the flow could still manipulate the energy with proficient power, but ultimately could not compete against the rise of the Coretouched with the flow at their command.
The flow fused within a Coretouched seeks to consume the soul of its host and return to its source within the core of the planet. Some of the touched can resist the flow's continual assault and keep it at bay. These Coretouched, the ones who refuse the merger of magic to wield untold power, threaten Corron and its future.
Many of the touched became vile and twisted, consumed with the inner battle of forcing the flow back to the edges of their consciences. Their minds became scarred with the effort -- Corron's evil at its height. Those untouched were forced to flee and hide or become slaves to the flow and its masters.
Some of the touched resisted the flow and stand as the light in a world plunged into darkness. The fate of all on Corron rest in their hands...
