The setting is not the conventional setting of the Dying Earth (i.e. the Earth at the end of the 21st Aeon) but instead is a more relgiously, but no less Vancian period before the formation of the regime later known as 'Grand Motholam'. It is a time of (tyrannical) religous orthodoxy when magicians are (un)justly persecuted for their (perceived) role in the Earth's downfall [delete words where applicable].
