The Archives of Caelum
The Kingdom of Caelum. Rich in resources, it is situated amidst lush greenery and meandering rivers, its mountains rich with ore and its soil fertile with easy access to trade routes via land and sea. For this reason, threats are constant at its borders with many vying to overthrow the royal family in hopes to claim the land as their own.
The people of Caelum are blessed with magical abilities, such as water or fire, and often use these gifts in their daily life. According to their archives, the Crown Prince, Nam Yejun, bears the power of Water.
An excerpt from one of their records stated:
"Water is a life sustaining ability, but can also be destructive in nature. Prince Yejun is capable not only of simple tasks such as conjuring clean drinking water, but he can also call upon a terrible storm when provoked. As the prince is gentle in demeanor, this rarely happens, however should the kingdom face calamity, his power should not be trifled with.
He expressed joy in submerging in deep water, usually for meditation, and can often be found not coming up for air for hours at a time. However, unlike fish, he is not able to breathe under water. The longest he had sustained without coming up for air is 3 hours.
Aside from this, it is discovered that he is able to communicate with creatures that dwell in water. A prince on land, and a king of the seas."
Records from the Magical Research Institute of Caelum, Vol. 3
The Magical Research Institute is a branch of the White Spire, Caelum's magic repository presided over by the Archmage, Han Noah. A brilliant but mysterious mage and one of the Prince's closest aides, he wields the power of Light. Those of lesser knowledge tended to regard the Archmage's powers as something trivial and superficial, spawning rumors of him currying favors in order to be in his current position. But strange records exist written by those that have witnessed it firsthand.
"There is a reason Archmage Noah stands in his current position, and I fear many will never learn the truth. The power of Light is rare even amongst the people of Caelum and rightly so, as it is far more devastating in nature than most realize. On the surface, the abilities seem paltry, even superficial. He has been seen on countless occasions manipulating the light to dance around him, appearing to sparkle as he walks the halls of the Spire.
