Set in the familiar world of Arabian Nights, Mystics will transport you to the exotic yet violent land of Persia and reveal its magical underground.
With the threat of the ever expanding empire of Alexander the Great and a new Persian King on the throne, the Persian empire is in a time of transition and fear. The old Persia, a place where mystics were once revered for their magical powers, has now become intolerant of anyone possessing unnatural abilities.
It’s a difficult era to be a mystic, or a person with some type of inexplicable power. Some can move objects with their mind, others can create fire out of nothing and still others have the ability to grant wishes. Mystics were once a commonplace in Persia where they were often seen performing on street corners for coins. That is, until King Shahryar takes the Persian throne. With his new reign of power comes a new religion that requires all Persians be devoted to the deity Ahura Mazda. The Persian king believes that magic and supernatural powers come from Ahiram, the evil arch rival of Ahura Mazda, and declares all persons must renounce their devotion to Ahiram and become followers of Ahura Mazda or be executed.
