Agassia, also known as 'Dark Magick', has been around in some form or other since 1995. At its heart, it's a portal fantasy, though many of the stories are about the residents and past of Agassia, independent of their interactions with world-hoppers Cassandra and her son Ethan. Unsurprisingly, Agassia has grown and evolved over the last thirty years. The stories in this Agassia Stories section reflect this and may loudly contradict one another and current 'canon'. At the moment, they're organized as V.0, which is loosely canon for every iteration, V.1 from 1995 (unposted), V.2 from ~2003-~2013, and V.3 from ~2014 onward.
