Faltess, a world shattered by a magical apocalypse, is no longer the same land as it once was: distorted by wild magic, animals are now amalgams (horses now look like a mixture of grasshoppers and flying squirrels, and giant pigs do not hesitate to shed their flesh, transforming themselves into giraffes, platypuses), and a mad magical liquid takes up more and more space. Like the Order of the Mourneers in their sacrificial campaign against "magic", which is now a universal curse.
