The earliest tales of the world tell us that the first beings of power were mortal men. They made use of the magical energies contained in the environment itself. The greatest of the Magi founded kingdoms that were passed on through extended dynasties.

Greedy to control the magic of the world and deprive the Magi of their source of power, they brought from their world pieces of the crystal Telenanth. These shards absorbed the magic from the earth itself and in doing so, become rooted, unable to be moved ever again.

|content=
Generations passed before the mortals of Elemental were numerous enough to begin rebuilding their realms. What direction would the future of the world take? The Kingdoms, relying on the power of life magic? Or the Empires, who rely on death magic?

Out of the ashes arose eight different mortal factions who strove to establish their dominion over the world.

What follows is what has been passed down since the days of the Fallen Enchantress, the War of Magic and the rise of the Empire of Sorcery.

|title=The Empires
|content=
The Titans are gone, but not their ideology. The Empires have only contempt for the Kingdoms who squabble amongst themselves over whether leadership should be hereditary or through some kind of vote. The mightiest should rule. The weaker should follow. How could it possibly be any other way?

The Empires recognize that the transition from life to death contains the greatest of magic. They remain disgusted by the Kingdoms who leech life from the world as if they were parasites of life itself.

[[File:Resoln.png|frameless|right]]
Ceresa stands alone. She is neither of the race of men or of the Fallen. She is the Oracle through which dark power flows, transforming her followers into the unique race of Wraiths. They, alone amongst all races, understand that while the death magic flows through the transition of life unto death, that the logical conclusion is to encourage as much death as possible.

'''Race:''' Wraith

'''Special Abilities:''' The Channelers of Resoln understand how to summon, without any effort on their part, elemental beings from the shards.

With the Titans gone, the sorcerers of Resoln are the undisputed masters in Telenanth lore. They understand that there is a pocket universe from which beings of immense power can be brought into our world.

As a result, Resoln is capable of fielding armies of immense power of alien origin.
