Hi guys! Please read below for some important information about this world and for some character aesthetics before you start reading!
Elaria is a continent split into four major kingdoms: aethia, tamarian, nymphimorus, and fonierra. Each kingdom's royal family posses the ability to control one of the four elements: earth, fire, water, or air. This ability is passed down the royal bloodline, and whichever one of the king/queen's heirs presents best control for their element becomes heir to the throne. The four kingdoms mostly get along, with very minor skirmishes or wars every couple of decades. Four times a year (the summer solstice, autumnal equinox, winter solstice, and vernal equinox) the royal families gather for a royal ball. Below is more information about each kingdom:
