Earthdawn, Second Edition

A powerful magical society had developed, but then the Horrors came. Fortunately, the people had warning, so they built underground shelters to hide until the magical levels receded and the Horrors were forced back to their home dimension. Now—and earlier than expected—the magic levels have fallen but leveled off, and most but not all of the Horrors are gone. The political landscape reforms itself as the world re-emerges. It’s a new dawn! Time to become a hero and form your own legend!

( I was unenthused by the legends available for formation. )
