The Old Ways Vs The New Way
The Old Ways is not a religion in Terra, but a world-wide belief, a belief that is followed by both Mage, and creatures of Magic. It is based around Magic and the general belief that Mages should be able to practice Magic however they wish to and that Magic is a natural part of the world. Within the Old Religion, there are mighty ArchMages, who hold the power to perform many different spells and incantations and can cheat life and death,but one does not go without the other; if a life is granted then a life must be taken in return and vice versa; this is in order to maintain the balance of the world.
This ability is only mastered and perfected by ArchMages, with fear stricken into the world on the views of Magic and more Mages shying away from who they truly are, The Old Ways is dying out as there are few who practice it, especially after the Great Purge that started with the God Ares, and still continues with King Moritemius of WhiteStone. Now most follow the "New Way" Where Magic is shunned and some Mages will take things as far as to become Tranquil.
Circle History
The history of the Circle is a very blood and sorrow filled tale. Little did Heka know he would create such a safe haven for Mages and the magically inclined that still holds strong today harbored deep in the swampland hidden and protected from those without Magic. It all began when Heka had accidentally burned the Goddess Luna when he had lost control of his ability to control a flame for a mere second, unable to live with what he had done he galloped and galloped and galloped until he lay exhausted where the Circle would be birthed.
​
Heka's fire show had crossed the line for Ares, and his view on Magic already was a feared attitude, and was only set in stone that Magic is evil after Luna. Mage hunting hadn't begun yet, but it soon would in time.. In the isolated place Heka had come to call his home he made thousands of more mistakes with his Magic until he perfected the craft, and as more Mages began to pop up in heavy numbers around Terra, they too were lost and uncontrolled in their gift just as Heka had been all those years ago. To try and put Magic in a better light, and to show those who did not have Magic, that Magic is not to be feared he had began to take in the most troubled Mages and taught them to control their Magic in hopes that attitudes towards Magic that was forming could be changed.
​
But he was wrong. As Ares grew deep with hatred the Mage hunts soon began as he ordered his Knight Order to abolish all signs of Magic to those known as Magic users, to those even suspected of using Magic, it must be abolished to extinguish this evil from the world. This is known as the Great Purge, that is still a continual thing today. As Mages drastically dropped in numbers Heka stood by for too long to keep allowing this and put his hoof down, no longer could he watch his kind be slaughtered by the hundreds and the Circle Of Magi was officially born as a Nation, a safe haven for all those kissed by Magic. To protect Magic and those with it even further, he cursed the forest that protected them, anyone that did not have Magic would violently pay with their lives if they seeked out the circle by the curse that swarms the woods, Heka made this curse intelligent however, and those that did not seek harm could enter and leave with their lives, that is why the occasional Seeker, Commoner, refugee may come and go.
​
After the Gods and Goddesses' war that nearly ripped the world in two, it was time to rebuild, with their God gone without a trace, Mages felt disconnected from the world because they were afraid to leave the comforts of the circle in fear certain death was still a target on their backs. Then along came Mia Ti, a product of Souzan. When she visited the circle she promised that she could have the world live in peace and harmony if they put their trust in her. Together her and the Circle rebuilt, beginning to trust the surrounding nations once again as the hunting was put to a stop and every kingdom was focused on rebuilding and going in a new direction in Terra, that is, until Mia Ti gave birth to Adam... Everything under the sun warned Mia Ti that the birth of the colt she was carrying would be her undoing and revert all that her and everyone else worked hard to recover from, but she paid the warnings no mind time after time again, and he was born Thomasteus, a Mage that would ravage the lands back to turmoil with each passing day he could go stronger, and that's just what he did the stronger the colt grew.
​
He had come to the Circle to be taught but every Master, Teacher and Apprentice absolutely refused to teach the young colt about the Magic he harbored, they could feel the evil inside him brewing deep down that would one day drive him to insanity, any Mage in their right mind would have done the same and turned him away. A decision they would regret doing. As he grew older, he found other ways to learn and master his Magic without the help of the Circle, and when he was strong enough to even challenge a great ArchMage, he killed Mia Ti in cold blooded murder, and began his takeover. The first thing he did, he came for the Circle Of Magi, absolutely devastating their numbers, mares, babies, elderly, it mattered not who they were Adam made it very clear they were to all be abolished. For last efforts a majority of remaining Mages resorted to Blood Magic to protect themselves, this attack and how devastating it was is a wound the Circle has never been able to fully heal their minds from, and is a reminder to even them what Magic has the capabilities of doing in the wrong hands. The Adameic Mages in time, the same ones and then some that came into the Circle killing mass numbers that day, are the same ones that feared Adam themselves when he turned against them, even after all he promised if they helped. While the members of the Circle had no reason to care or show sympathy towards the outsiders, they understood the pain the Adameic were feeling all too well, because even they were cast aside before Mia Ti. So they took them in, and separated Creatio and Adameic by the river that flowed. The Adameic stay on their side, and the Creatio stay on theirs, and to this day it is honored.
​
Mages thought that the prejudice against them had come to an end because of Mia Ti, they lived in regions beyond the Circle, views and opinions were changing throughout the lands, they thought they were in the clear, but they were so wrong.. Once her other son, known as King Moritemius took the throne of WhiteStone in place of her, his extremist views of Magic spread through his newly owned kingdom, Mage Hunters from the Order were once again established, and they began hunting and chasing every known or suspected Magic user out of where they called home and more. If you were a Mage and weren't protected by the Circle you were fair game to the Order. Some thought as if it was a second rising of Ares happening all over again.. To this day currently, Mages are hunted and oppressed by all those who fear Magic, some Mages still try to live in hiding refusing to give up all that they have earned to be chased back into the Circle , and some are found and pay with their lives. This Faction can only hope another Mia Ti comes along and can strike it into the King's heart that Magic is dangerous in the wrong hands of those who wish to do evil with it, the same cannot be said for the entirety of Magic users.

Circle Mentality
Many equines view the Circle as a safe haven because it is the only place other than the Coven where those with Magic are safe and cannot be harmed, they are grateful for the alleged beast that roams their cursed forest gobbling up those who wish to do them harm. Viewed as a safe haven for many though, there are many who see the Circle as a life of imprisonment and seek a life outside of their prison. Mages who leave the Circle is a touchy subject, and varies from family to family and Masters how the individual who left is viewed, they are either welcome back any time, or they're not, and may never have a word spoken to them again by anyone in the Circle. Creatio and Celestic equines are on constant edge that there's an allowance of Adameic Mages allowed to reside with them on the other side of the river, even though they too have a death bounty on their heads for having Magic it isn't enough to change the opinions of many about their kind. While Heka is highly praised amongst Creatio and Celestic, Adameic on the other hand, are often unbelieving in any God or Goddess since they were thrown away by Adam, how are they supposed to believe in Heka?
Schools Of Magic
The circle is best known for its school, Mages from all over the corners of the lands come to the Circle for this. The schools of Magic were created by Heka as a safety precaution to prevent the mistake that he made so long ago. There are 2 schools available to Mages of all the ages. Usually, young Mages as young as the ages of 4 come to the Circle to learn how to control their Magic better by Teachers, or Masters.There is usually one teacher per ability, all with their own teaching methods. You'll notice that there are 3 schools in technicality... Only the third school was created for Blood Mages, in an attempt to teach them what's now happening to them in hopes they'll have a stronger will than the Demons that now possess them and will be able to control both their Magic and the Demon controlling them at any given moment. This school is by no means successful in their practice. While the schools were intended for the Creatio species only, due to the Adameic in recent times joining the Circle, there is possibility for some Masters / Teachers to take on an Adameic student..
