This thread is based on the game, Tales of Symphonia. It was an idea by Chaos Adept.
~~~~~~~~~~
Two worlds exist, parallel to each other. However, they lie in alternate dimensions, making them unknown of each other's existence. Their names are Sylvarant(sil-va-ront) and Tethe'alla(te-they-all-a). They both have a prophecy, by which the Church of Martel is based.
Both Sylvarant and Tethe'alla have a Chosen One. However, Tethe'alla's world is flourishing, so he doesn't fulfill the prophecy currently. In both worlds, there are two main races, elves and humans. There are also those who have both elven and human blood, due to cross-breeding. Elves are intune with nature, can sense mana, and can use magic. Humans can use magic only if given a magic item or injected with elven blood. Dwarves and gnomes also exist, but they remain alone, or underground.
The thread will take place at the beginning of Colette's journey of world regeneration. She starts by leaving Iselia for the Temple of Fire with Kratos and Raine. Lloyd and Genis join them later.
