Before history, before kings and empires, before even the first spoken word, the gods descended.
They arrived to find a world untamed—where beasts of impossible strength roamed, their veins pulsing with raw, uncontrollable power. Yet, the gods saw potential. And so, they reached out—not to create, but to reshape.
From these beasts, they forged the first humans. No longer creatures of instinct, but beings of will and reason. To guide them, the gods bestowed a gift—the seven elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Lightning, Light, and Dark.
But not all creatures accepted this change. Some rebelled, refusing to bow to the gods' will. Hatred festered, and war ignited. The gods, unwilling to let their creation be undone, made one final decision.
They split the world in two.
One half became a prison—a land of mist and shadow where the rebellious creatures were sealed away. The other became a sanctuary, where humanity could thrive, free from the horrors of the past. To ensure this balance, the gods created an unbreakable barrier—the Eternal Fog.
Then, without warning, the gods vanished.
With them gone, humanity ruled itself. Kingdoms rose, civilizations flourished, and for a time, peace endured.
But peace is fragile.
Light and Darkness could not coexist. Their war consumed the land—firestorms raging across cities, oceans rising in fury, mountains shattered by forces beyond comprehension. The war twisted the very elements themselves. Water, poisoned by conflict, birthed Ice—cold, unyielding, forever severed from its source.
Even the sky was torn apart.
When the war finally ended, only four elements remained.
The rest faded into history, their wielders lost to myth. From the survivors, four great elemental bloodlines emerged, shaping the world anew:
The Burns—forged in fire, their bloodline born from embers and rage.
The Frosts—descendants of ice and water, wielders of cold and tide.
The Terras—masters of earth, unshaken, unbreakable.
The Breezes—children of the wind, swift as the unseen sky.
From the ashes of war, they built a new civilization. Yet, the Eternal Fog never lifted—a silent reminder of the world beyond. A world humanity was never meant to return to.
But beyond that veil, something still waits.
