A world, not known to man, named Linthia. It is entirely different, but also the same. The world has different fauna, flora and styles of living, but also houses the same dominant life forms: humans.
The world is split into eleven kingdoms, those are: Kintā, Jamonikàę, Gläciea, Darkwød, Ligjta, Harmôna, Kallia, Englia, Swêdna, Flo and Päka. Each kingdom has a whole other climate, language and culture.
Six adolescents, named Naomi, Collie, Lloyd, Kestrel, Falcon and Jay, live in entirely different parts of the world. They have never heard of each other, never seen each other and never made contact with one another.
But, one day, a strange old man appears in their lives, and makes them an offer they find hard to decline. For, apparently, the six each have elemental abilities, and have the capability to become an ancient warrior - a Samjā.
They could be brought together, they could hate each other. They could win, they could lose. They could save the world, but they could unknowingly allow it to fall into the hands of the Fal'Cie.
It all relies on Fate.
