Provenance of Magic

Welcome to Provenance of Magic
The provenance of magic alt history is a pseudo scientific look at what would happen if a supernatural event occurred during the genesis of modern humanity. This story begins 4 million year into our planets past where the first ancestors of mankind began to walk on two feet. The introduction of an seemingly supernatural entity to our planets atmosphere allowed for the evolution of new sub species of human. These new humans would develop similarly to the modern man but with a slight difference. The beings would be able to harness this supernatural entity in ways normal men could not. These beings, the cousins of mankind, will have millennia of growth and eventual decline into the modern age where our alt history will take us into the cultural and societal aspects of a planet with multiple human species.

Point of Divergence
The main point of divergence of PoM happens between 10 and 5 Million years previous to the modern day. This event known as Aura Genesis is the estimated time when the Supernatural Age begins. It is here that the supernatural energy know as Aurus was introduced to the earths atmosphere. There are many theories of how the earth gained Aurus but studies have not yet been able to provide a solid answer.

The second POD occurs between 5 and 4 Million years previous to modern day. The first ancestors of the Fae species known as the Chimerae are established seperate from the modern human evolutionary line. These creatures have aurus driven genus which allow them to adapt and develope animal like traits to survive the early world.

The third POD occurs between 500'000 and 200'000 years ago when the modern human ancestor is evolved. As well as the homo sapiens sapiens species, the modern human, evolving from our ancestors, we also see two aurus driven divergences in the evolution; the homo sapiens proicio and the ''homo sapiens devoro. ''The two new species of human are the Wizard and the Auspex.
