Early History
The Astral has existed as long as inteligent life has on Monde. Purely Astral beings have no account of how or why the tangible world was fused to that of the Astral but what is known is that within months of said fusion Astral beings were already begining to hybridize with native life of Monde. Homanids and Philisdraco were some of the first races to inhabit Monde and later Rnalids, Anglians, Niosians, Yakumo and other humanoids and non-humanoids. Many races lived parts of their lives in the Astral Realm and hense gained Astral Properties, namely Demons (Devils), Enma and Nirgu.

The Grand Resurgence
Around 1600 IP Astral Beings began hybridizing with other sentient life at an enormous rate. The products of this were highly Astrally atuned Devic races like the Angels, Yokai and Nirgu. In many nations this sparked conflict with existing Devic races and in others these new races surplanted current reigimes most notably in Niosus where the Angels allied with the Elvaan to oust the Anglians and Demons (Now known as the War of the Exodus.)

The Present Day
Much of the Astral was damaged by the Zone Wars and the Wars of Expansion. Hightened use of Airships, Retromancy and Astral Weaponry caused much of the Astral to collapse. Efforts made by the Clanners, the City of Lero, The Yakumo Architects and the Qian People's Inquisitors have aided in saving the Astral from collapsing under the weight of the immense power currents being brought out by the war. Not long before the War there were some 14 cities and townships within the Astral, now only Ceratus, Meiguo, Pavatana and InterCity.

Magic and the Astral
Paratangible and Supernatural powers (often colloquialized to Magic) are drawn from the Astral Realm, they are drawn from the Astral in a number of ways known as the Orders of Magic (see full article.)
