The Eye, with boundless love and hope, breathed life into both magical and non-magical beings. Each species was born with free will, a unique purpose, and the power to carve their own path. They were granted the ability to learn and master magic, but this gift came with a condition: their loyalty to the Eye.
Above the dome known as the 'Sky' lay Celestia, the realm of the Gods. Together, these divine beings worked to inspire and guide all life toward a brighter future, serving under the Eye's wisdom. To ensure that power was tempered with responsibility, the Eye established the Heavenly Principles-a divine pact in exchange for loyalty.
A God is a mighty being, but many were either slain or stripped of their powers after defying the Eye and its laws. The Heavenly Principles stand as the supreme authority, governing not just mortals, but even the Gods themselves. Its power is absolute, shaping the very fabric of the natural order. It is so feared that even the most powerful beings tremble before it, for it holds the balance of the universe in its grasp.
Ten thousand years ago, a cataclysmic event shook the world, decimating nations and kingdoms, leaving half of all life on earth on the brink of extinction. The devastation was so profound that every species was left in shock and terror, unable to comprehend the cause of such destruction. Many believed it to be divine retribution-punishment for defying the Celestials, for committing unspeakable sins, or for striking forbidden pacts with demons in the pursuit of freedom. Yet, no one truly knows the truth. Only the Eye and the Gods may hold the answers, but they have never spoken of it.
For millennia, whispers of this dark past lingered, becoming one of the most widespread and enduring mysteries of the world. Even now, the calamity of ten thousand years ago remains a haunting memory-a nearly forgotten catastrophe that nearly erased half of humanity from existence.

In this world, there are three primary types of 'Gifts': Elements, Artifacts, and Spirits.
Elements are direct blessings from the Gods, bestowed upon those who are considered extraordinary within their race. These powers manifest through control over Water, Fire, Ice, Nature, Light, or Darkness, marking the bearer as someone touched by divine favor.
Artifacts are powerful, enchanted objects that can be claimed by anyone-though they are exceedingly rare. Hidden deep within dungeons, they are not easily found, but when one does appear, it is a sign from the twin Gods of Light Magic, the creators of these artifacts. Receiving one marks you as chosen, a bearer of unique power with the potential to reshape destiny.
Spirits are magical creatures that bond with those fortunate enough to encounter them. Once a spirit has chosen you, it becomes your hidden strength, visible only to you while under your command. These spirits, often taking the form of animals, are exceedingly rare across all races and bring with them a profound connection to magic, unseen by others.

The western part of the planet is divided into five kingdoms: Helfen, Vertrag, Liebe, Ausbreitung, and Senf. Currently, I find myself in Greleste, one of these western kingdoms.
On the eastern side of the world lies Verzaubertes Königreich. To reach it, we must board the Ultimate Train, an incredible feat of engineering that spans the globe. Verzaubert is one of the wealthiest realms in existence and the birthplace of the Elements themselves. The God of Desires, creator of Nature Magic, once purified the vast island with its many capitals, shaping it into the prosperous kingdom it is today.
