Amarantheus, a world where spirits and humans coincide. This wasn't always the case however; legends have it that ours and the spirit world used to be two separate realms. They say that as humans tampered more and more with spiritual energy, the boundary between worlds blurred - eventually disappearing entirely - destroying both our world and the spirit realm. This Cataclysm, as it came to be known, not only destroyed the world, but rebuilt it; creating the world we know today.
It wasn't only the world that was rebuilt, it also mutated every organism in existence making beasts and monsters of common animals and even giving humans some properties of spirits. Though no actual records of this event exist, these legends have been passed on for an entire millenia.
As for the world, there are three continents: The frozen beauty that is Cryst; The untamable flames of Lumos; And the diverse and vastly habitable lands of Gleberum.
Though there are smaller villages on Cryst, most civilization has been centered on and around Gleberum. There exist settlements scattered across the landscape but only seven have managed to stand the test of time against the unforgiving wildlife.
The medicinal wonder of Nabudis, technological titan Archadia, the iron fisted Dalmasca, the commerce capital Xavillia, the desert jewel Tsalenjikha, the oceanic cliffs of Altana, and the dwarven stronghold of Gleven.
Though the rebuilding of the world has been miraculous, it is the people that made it possible. After the Cataclysm occurred sentient life mutated, greatly enhancing the life force of all beings large and small. None so immensely though as humans, having had their DNA fused with spirits humans were able to tap into their own life force - their Mana - to perform a multitude of previous impossibilities. Even though most people can only use their Mana to bolster their own physical capabilities, some have been able to commune with the remaining spirits and make contract allowing them to use Spirit Artes.
Now come.
Follow the journeys of this people, as their strings of fate join to weave the tale of this world.
