Prologue



In the kingdom of Elestrona, there exists magic. Beings across the lands possess the ability to create, manipulate, restore, or even destroy with the elements around them. Some were gifted with amazing powers, some were born with them, and some.. have none at all. Along with magic are the magical races, living side by side with humanity. A prosperous kingdom bordered with tall mountains to the north and east, and a long coastline to the west and south. Vast forests covered the valleys and crept up the hillsides, a large lake towards the northern borders, just at the base of the mountains. Rivers crawled all the way down towards the seas, and smaller lakes and springs appeared in the far reaches of the kingdom's provinces.
The capital known as Woodmoore had been built up from the thickest forests, originally built by elves before more and more races began to arrive in Elestrona. It became the thriving hub of trade and tourism, a melting pot of the races. While some were quick to boast about their abilities and their races, others were not. hiding their identities and preventing their true selves from being seen. Relationships between the races were not always peaceful, and there were ideas and trades that were outlawed when Woodmoore established a government under the name of the Arcanium Assembly.


A council of different peoples whom worked together to decide the laws of Elestrona, The Arcanium Assembly rose to the highest form, being led by the King of Elves and the leaders of other races. A problem that was brought to their attention was the trading of illegal materials and slaves, as some races produced magical materials that could be used in powerful potions and enchantments. Slavery had been outlawed long before Elestrona came together as one kingdom, and even though it was illegal, the slave trade still thrived in secrecy. Any potions or enchantments that required material from other races were also outlawed, and yet, it did not stop the black markets.
This activity pushed some races into hiding, and instilled paranoia in others. As Elestrona developed, the government grew stronger, making it harder for slavers and poachers to find targets. The black market had become less active in the year 278, Era of King Dommene. However, it was not completely silent. Islands on the outskirts of the coast still operated as slavery camps, masked as islanders doing work on their own accord. It wasn't until 290 that one of the islands completely disappeared from the map, completely vanishing in the midst of a terrible storm.


It wouldn't be until the year 295 that our story begins, starting at the largest lake in Elestrona. The story of a lonely young girl in search for her family, and how her search changed the hearts of many.
