Mage The Ascension - Revised Edition Author:Stewart Wieck A World of Darkness role-playing game. You play as mages capable of feats of magic. (Revised Edition) — The closing of a millennium is at hand. We have been crushed in a vice. Trapped between rigid law and black chaos. All we have wrought with magick is forgotten.

They rule the outcast realms and drown us in ceaseless discord. The Nephandi, Damned, Diabolic, Destructive. They rule the nethermost voids and constrict us within the Wyrm's coils.

It is the tragedy of a decayed and squalid landscape of lost hope.
