However, by that logic, the Carib League (formed in part due to the power of
houngans) didn't exist until 2057, because Awakenings was the first place to
deal with Voodoo. Given that most of the magical traditions of the world
are assumed to suddenly start working once the Awakening happens, they all
of a sudden radically changed form in 2057. And that doesn't even begin to
cover beings like Dragons and IEs, who would have the 4th Age's knowledge of
magic to work from, placing them far above the SOTA curve, since they
already know how to operate more effectively at the higher mana levels.
