"ever since I was a young girl I just knew I was destined for more,"

                                                    -Liora, from Liora's diary.

There are whispers of war all around me, but that's not all, legend says of an evil force threatening to wake up and destroy us all. The radiant brothers don't do anything. They don't believe in it. They think that because they have control over the Celestial Alta, the most powerful beast of all the lands, they are invisible but this power is greater than any we have ever faced before, This evil threatens to destroy us all in the only way that we could be destroyed. 

Exposure.

I have been a practitioner of the Arcane since I was a young child, but I was born in a land that is not considered worthy to be mentioned—the Forgotten Land. People from the eight main lands come to us for our healing medicines and special powders, for whatever they need, but we are never welcomed into their lands for anything. The ruling families want nothing to do with us. We are nothing to them and mean nothing to them. Us, the Forgotten, as everyone calls us. The majority of us are tan-skinned with long dark hair and eyes. My parents did not possess any special abilities, and those who did not were sent here, meaning we were not able to connect to any beast and therefore we were useless and unwanted.

The beasts are what keep the lands at peace, and nobody dares to mess with anyone that has a connection with the beasts. The parents were subject to various tests, and if they failed to connect with a beast, then they were sent to the Forgotten Lands, and their children would remain there as well, forever, without a chance to see if they could connect to a beast. The Forgotten decided to turn to the Arcane, a mysterious unexplained magical artifact that not everyone understands. Since they were not wanted, they decided to dedicate their lives to trying to discover new things to do. They came up with healing medicines and magical practices that nobody outside of the Forgotten Lands knows about.

But danger lurks in this land, whispers of a dark force threatening to escape and seek revenge on all the other lands for casting us out. And so war is upon us, and we have no way of protecting ourselves. The other lands are set to destroy this land and everyone in it. They don't care about us; they never have. Now, with no way out, we only have our magic to hopefully protect us, but will it?
