"These violent delights have violent endsAnd in their triump die,
like fire and powder
Which, as they kiss, consume"
― William Shakespear
The story is set in a different world divided in five parts:
- an island where resides a city, Avalon, where the Noble elves live and govern the world.
Around this island there are three continents:
- the smallest is Amot where resides all the Common elves and Gryphon,
- the second continent is Zhànshì, were the daemons and Jozu live,
- the third continent, which is also the biggest, it's called Daonna and there live the humans.- The last part it's called Dursak and it's a land situated near the continents, but with sea between them. Here lives all the dark creatures.
For all those who want to know, the program I used it's called Inkarnate
