Entrath was once a world like any other. The mortal races that
inhabited its surface busied themselves with the usual mix of divergent
cultures elbowing each other over territorial squabbles. Magic existed
but was exceedingly rare, and could only be wielded by the most
exceptional of individuals. A massive crystalline meteor hit Entrath near its northern
terrestrial pole. It struck with such force that it travelled through
the core of the planet and out the other side, creating two massive
volcanoes that still exist at Entrath’s axes of rotation. After exiting
the opposite end of the planet, gravity captured the meteor before it
could continue its space-bound trajectory. It now appears to be a
permanent satellite.
What seemed at first to be a potentially world-ending calamity
actually became the defining moment of Entrath’s future existence. When
the meteor hit, most of its outer core shattered into countless gems
that were scattered throughout the surface and underworld of Entrath. The mortal races that managed to survive the collision event referred
to the meteor as Hex, and the precious stones that broke off of it as
Hexing Gems. It was quickly discovered that the gems had a strange power
of their own. Unlike the rare and secretive practitioners of wild or
blood magic, nearly anyone could extract potent sorcery from the Hexing
Gems with study and practice.
