I had an idea for a world where all the great wizards destroyed themselves in a great war. Magic was lost because much of the knowledge on how to use it was destroyed. With magic removed from the picture the people are forced to fend for themselves and technology slowly begins to assert itself.
I thought about breaking the world into five ages and have stories set in all of them. The Age of Magic which is right before the great war, the dark age when came right after the war, the feudal age, a kind of late medieval period, the imperial age, sort of colonial/Napoleonic period, and the industrial age, the industrial revolution up to the present day.
