* '''Deconstructed''': Magical elements were systematically removed from Tropestan in the backstory in order to help ensure the safety of the common folk. However, there's no guarantee that people can't rediscover sorcery or secret populations of mythical creatures, so Tropestan will need to find some way to contain the problem at cost.
* '''Reconstructed''': The extermination was extremely thorough. As a result, the [[AntiMagicalFaction Tropestan antimagical agency]] runs behind the scenes effectively enough that ninety-nine out of a hundred people will never read about magic, never mind encounter it.
