The story takes place in North America, sealed beneath a vast mechanical membrane.
Sunlight cannot penetrate it, and the region is completely cut off from the outside world.
Endless night accompanies people through every day.
Yet magic exists in this land, though it has no ties to the mysterious.
Anyone can wield magic, so long as they possess a wand issued by the government.
Wands are scarce, and very few people can own one.

People use magic to make their lives easier, and the light it creates lets them grow crops in a world of night.
But people don't know

civilization has once again stagnated.
