PREFACE
We are the forgotten. Laid on a page of a worn history book. Skimmed over by thousands. Deemed unimportant.
We are quite the opposite, actually. Born out of the brain of a brilliant scholar and blessed by the gods, we came to be, each day growing stronger, feeding off the energy of the world.
When in balance, the earth is in peace. Once the balance shifts even the smallest bit people fall ill. The more unbalanced we become, sickness and death become more prevalent. Plagues ravage throughout the land. A cure can only come when we regain that balance.
Your potions and cures are petty excuses for momentary relief. If you get better it's because we regain that balance. Medicine has nothing to do with it.
Strength is key and now we are stronger than ever. We just hope the human race realizes our true power before it is too late.
We are the Humors.
