History

For centuries, dwarves, elves and even the halflings were born with power over an element, even though it was an extremely rare gift. Mankind has never been known to share very well, not even with their own. So a little over 20 years ago, when children humans begun to show signs of being gifted with a strange power over the elements, the King of Elerus was forced into action to avoid an uprising and a civil war that would cost countless lives with the Elementless more numerous but far less powerful. It was a hard decision for a King who's daughter had displayed the unfaltering rectitude of a Light Elemental. His daughter, just like the others like her, would have to leave. Children were exiled - and parents could follow - to the island of Merana, known to be inhospitable, to have poor soil and be the home of monsters. It was the place mother used to frighten their little thugs. "If you don't get your hands and you face washed, I'll send you to Merana where monsters will hunt you down and eat you." Little did the King of Elerus know that these children would actually save their parents' lives and their own.

Against all hopes from the Elementless of Elerus, who hoped to see these people fail and die off, the people of Merana began to thrive. The inhospitable land of the island turned out to be more fertile than anticipated, mines of precious metals and more usual ones were found. New children born of Merana were almost always with an element and often siblings shared that same element. A trade began between the two lands, and the people of Merana understood how the resources of their small island were limited, and thus became increasingly reluctant to part with some of their riches even to pay the King's taxes.

Current Quest

Status: Recruiting

The princess among them, seeing how the taxes were unfair for her people, began to exchange correspondence with her father. A people who had forced exile upon them expected them to pay tribute? What for? The King did not build roads in Merana, did not send guards to make its streets safe, did not provide for them in any way. And thus the small rebellion began. The people of Merana, led by the princess, began to raise prices for their goods. Self-reliant, the people of Merana did not need the trade with the main land. It's precious metals and gems were prized by the nobles of Elerus, however. The surplus of food produced by the soils could help relieve hunger that hit certain part of the Kingdom. While the Princess knew that this was making the small people need to scratch for more, she yearned for the independence of her people so that the council of elders could have full control over the land of the island.

The King answered with a request of his own. To prove that the Exiled had what it took to be their own people and have their own ruler, they had to send a group to find a long lost item that is sacred to Elerus: The Original Crown. A crown of gold with emeralds, sapphires and rubies that was stolen generations ago and never found. Though there was always a rumor that an old adviser to the King at the time was a sorcerer who dabbled in dark magic. Magic was, back then, a most dark and feared myth.

Only one per character

Air

Symbol Symbol: Tornado Color: light blue Influences Purity Light weight Mobile Dryness Inspiration Stormy Freedom Careless Sudden mood swings Unreliable, unable to commit Other notes In the extreme cases where an air elemental proves to be very strong, the need for freedom could prevent them to stay in place for long, to commit for a long term project or relationship and this no matter how hard they try.

Earth

Symbol Symbol: A tree Color: Green Character: Bartil Warhammer Influences Solid Reliable Nourishment Fertility Creativity Longevity Stability Structure Practicality Other notes The Children of Nature are generally the calm and laid back kind that can take a lot of pressure, but when it's enough, they explode!

Fire

Symbol Symbol: Flames Color: Red Influences Love Desire Determination Strong will Warms Illuminates Destruction Hate Lust Hot-tempered Consuming Violent Rushing Other notes There are really two kinds of Fire elemental.

Most manage to be a lot of one with a little bit of both, but the stronger the element, the more difficult it is to control.

Light

Symbol Symbol: a ball of light Color: White Character: Princess Alixandria Of Elerus Influences Goodness Reality Avenger of evil Knowledge Purity Morality Optimism Justice Truth Logic Other notes Light Ones are people who can't lie without being wrecked with guilt over it. They are the children who will do something wrong and then turn themselves over to their parents to be punished, if they do something wrong to begin with.

They are one of the rarest elements, just like their counterpart the Light Elementals. If they are born with psychopath tendencies, their chances remaining sane are greatly increased.
