In the world of Shifting Ranks, there are the Rankers and the Shifters. Rankers and Shifters separated into two parts of the continent many years ago, the Rankers having the large majority of the population on their side. The Rankers and run and controlled by their Protectors. The Protectors consist of an elite and mysterious group which run and control all Ranker land. Rankers believe that all magic is evil, unpredictable, uncontrollable, dangerous, and should be completely abolished. Shifters believe in magic, saying it is what connects pure dragons to nature, and what makes a dragon a dragon. A dragon with no magic is no true dragon. The Protectors took away and controlled all of the magic from Rankers who gave up their powers. They say they destroyed it to be gone forever, but is that true? No one is sure what happened to their powers. What Rankers now lack in magic, they make up for in advancements and technology. They have 3 major cities that are completely tech-run and highly advanced. One of which being Caspia which appears in EP3. Thanks so much for being here! Stay tuned for more!
