Saga: Arrival of the Adventurers
Prologue
Centuries ago, elemental deities dwelled peacefully in the lands of Lumeria. Eventually, the human race discovered these lands and began to settle down.
For a long time humans coexisted with the deities, some humans even learnt from them how to manipulate mana and the elements. This was how humans were initiated into magic.
Seeking for more power, the greedy humanity tricked the deities and trapped them to take possession of their power. To prevent others from having access to the deities, temples and other constructions were built to conceal the sealed traps.
Blinded by selfishness, the humans that learnt how to control mana and the elements did not pass on their knowledge to the next generations, leaving the once-shared wisdom confined to dusty tomes.
As more centuries elapsed, human civilization continued expanding across the lands of Lumeria, destroying nature and broadening their territories. During this period, deities remained calm, and patiently awaited the day that the sealed traps would be somehow broken.
The foolish humans, unaware of the sealed traps placed beneath the temples built by their ancestors, tore them down, unleashing the wrath of the deities that had been patiently waiting for this unavoidable event.
Forgotten and untouched, the sealed traps contained the power of the deities that was meant to be drawn from them. Over countless years, the deities accumulated this untapped energy causing an overload which in turn resulted in an aggressive, uncontrollable and unstable behaviour on their part.
With the sealed traps broken, the overpowered deities unleashed their elemental powers taking over the lands where they once lived calmly.
Driven by fear, humans fled to the remote island of Ciliora and hid, hoping the elemental deities would eventually calm. But this was not the case, the unmeasured power of the deities affected the creatures living in Ciliora turning them aggressive, making them attack the human refugees in the island, which added another layer of chaos to their critical situation.
In a desperate bid to preserve their race, humans drew upon ancient tomes to perform forbidden summoning magic that could bring powerful beings with extraordinary aptitudes from another dimension and hoped that they could save them from the imminent extinction.
The forbidden magic casted by the inexperienced humans created a permanent portal that could not be closed. Strangely, the entities that came from the portal had a similar appearance to the users that casted the magic.
Now, beings from another dimension are coming through the portal arriving in the lands of Lumeria, they call themselves Adventurers.
