A place where humans do not exist,

There lies creatures that live in absolute bliss.

Realms of the seasons living together,

Helping and bickering with one another.

From mountains as cold as Ice, to Lakes as clear as skies.

Through the rivers that flow through the lands,

There lies the Mandani, Sinnia, Fomei, and Bishuni,

living together, hand-in-hand.

An unforeseen disaster shakes the elements,

an unspeakable crisis that one must now face.

Filled with confusion and chaos, a new hope arises.

In the wonderful world of the Arcana's, where creatures with wings fly about. From within the Forest, there lives the Fomei Arcana's, Fomei Arcana's are not one with violence, as their Queen prevents them from hurting one another or a wanderer. To the West of Zaira Forest, lives a group of Arcana known as the Mandani, the Mandani are Arcana's who are known for their flexibility. Mandani Arcana's are quick to adapt to unfamiliar environments and practices, they are also known for their resourcefulness. To the south where a mountain lies covered in snow as white as cloud, there lives the Sinnias and their King, who are as tough as Ice.

Warriors of the Mountain are known to be ruthless, only a real miracle can quell their aggressiveness. Pass the mountains and through the rivers, the Bishuni you may find, Arcana's that are welcoming but also not so kind. If the Bishuni sense a danger to their territory or their Queen, they will not hesitate to make sure the job is done and clean.

Our story takes place in Lorentia Meadow, where Queen Phixina oversees her people. Tasks such as harvesting, patrolling, hunting, and cleaning are all done by her people. Everyone had been preparing for the birth of a new seed, offerings for the Meadow of Life as a show of gratitude for the new life it brings. Everyone gathers around the colossal flower in the middle of the lively meadow, they watch as a petal from the flower dances with the wind and softly lands on the ground. The petal glows a brilliant light that can blind those who do not have the strength to withstand its overwhelming glow. From the light it presents a child that knows not of the world it has been born to, a child that does not yet have a purpose in its lifetime.

As the child opens its eyes, the Queen bestows upon it a golden chalice that holds the power of the elements, she gives the child the chalice to ascertain its element. From within the Chalice, the Elemental Runes graces the Mandani once more, as the runes surround the child, the Wind Rune halts in front of the child. As the Wind Rune merges with the child, the others retreat back to the Chalice's safety.

As the banquet comes to an end, a sudden tremor is felt throughout the lands, the Queen tries her best to stay calm. "Do not panic! Everything will be alright!" she assured her people. Once the tremor subsided, the Queen called for her trusted advisor; she had scheduled a Meeting of Seasons, the first one in over 5 decades. Messenger birds flew to the vast territory of the Mandani, and delivered the Queen's message. Mandani patrolled the outskirts of the forest whilst steering clear of the Forest of Nightmares.

"I suspect that the tremor earlier on came from the Forest of Nightmares." The Queen's advisor guessed.

"Do not jump to conclusions Naelen," The Queen answered. "The Forest of Nightmares may be a dangerous plain, but there are other reasons why certain phenomena happen."

The next day, the Meeting of Seasons was waged. From within the Blanc Territory, the Kings and Queens of the Arcana's gather to discuss the powerful tremor that came from the earth.
