First off, congrats! I'm eating this all up. Great work.

    The chain of events that brought mages into the world:

    1. An eldrich horror that exists in all realities created Lanthis while it slept.

    2. Its dreaming mind started to project magic onto the world.

    3. Where those projections become strong enough, they form an inteligence. To the eldrich horror, these are characters in its dream. To the races living above it, they are gods.

    4. These gods can spark magic in mortals, like lighting a small candle with a bigger one. The eldrich horror starts to see the mortal as a character in the dream.

Is this in any relation or allusion to Piers Anthony's X(A/N)^th?
