<> is the world of multiple gods, each holding their own strong view of reality. People of various races have to come to inhabit this world by being long lost and caught by the planes many interconnected portals. They are now trapped in this labyrinthine plane and have devoted themselves to the service of these seemingly all-powerful gods who hold dominion over their lives.

The gods are actually the shattered mind of a single entity. Ely used to be a prominent metamage with keen interest in understanding all the various fields of magic. In his pursuit to gain deeper understanding of these schools, he experimented dividing his presence into multiple beings, each holding one paradigm of magic as the base of their consciousness. It was during these experiments that the mending happened. While Ely retained much of his power, by each of his copy now essentially holding the power of a post-mending planeswalker, his unity as a single entity was shattered. Through their subconscious consensus the world of <> is being manipulated and now the various cycles of magical energy make up the routines of the people living in this remote and forgotten world.

Others that have since come to live in <> are unaware of Ely's true nature.

Things were mostly peaceful for a while as each god taught their followers the ways of their discipline. While it was always known that the gods could transfer their essence into minions of their own, it was later on discovered that one god could drain the essence of another god, and become twice as powerful. The more cruel of the gods immediately took upon themselves the quest of becoming the one 'true' god and all are now caught in the clutches of a seemingly perpetual war.
