Seventeen Years Ago

The elder Elf Mage gazed into the night sky and out upon her home land. Her time was near its end. Her apprentice stood beside her, a young and bold elf who made her proud to know she would rise to save their race once she passed on. Times were difficult now. The humans had taken control of Nardragelen. Their ruler, King Maedil, was corrupting their minds and making them believe the Elves were the enemy. But in truth, if it were not for the Elves, the King would have no power. For the King stole the Elven Magic thirty years ago. He promised to unite the two races, but once in his possession, the King turned against the Elves. Making them slaves to the human race.

The Elves needed a savior among them but so far, none have come. The Elder gazed into the sky and suddenly, clenched her heart and crumpled to the ground. Her apprentice rushed forward, but it was too late. Nothing could be done for the dying Mage. To the apprentice's surprise, however, her Master felt no fear. Instead the old and wrinkled elf smiled.

"Our saviors have come. Daughters of the Moon and Earth, Sons of the Flame and Air. You must wait for them and guide them to their battle when they are ready. The one's who have imprisoned us for so long, will set us free."

And with those words, the Elder died in her apprentice's arms.


Present Day

Seventeen years have passed since the apprentice as taken her role as the Elven Mage. This memory of their Master's death still haunts them to this day. Upon the death, she spread the news on the Oracle's last words to her clan. The elves became excited and waited for their saviors to come. But as weeks turned into months, and months turned to years, hope began to fade. Even the Mage began to question her Master's words.

On the anniversary of the Elder's death, the Mage once again return to the location. This time, something different occurred. When the Elf Mage brought her eyes up to the sky, similar to the Master seventeen years before, a miracle occurred. Four orbs of light circled the sky. One green, one red, one blue, and one white. The Mage watched as the orbs descended onto the human lands. And as four children each received a colored orb from the heavens on their seventeenth birthday, three words slipped from the Elf Mage's lips; "They have come."







General Information:
King Maedil has taken control of the Human, and most of the Elven, realm in Nardragelen. He uses the Elves' Magic to make himself immortal and dictate the land. He suppresses the Elves greatly by treating them as slaves and servants in his castle and throughout the land. Many of the Elven Clans hide in the forests for safety. The humans have two choices with this; follow or die. It is up to the Element Children to defeat the king and unite the kingdom.

Races:
Humans- Have no magical powers and live in villages. Nearly all humans are peasants with the occasional Duke or army general. There is a mandatory draft for all males over 16. There is no escaping this if you get a call up slip, however many try.
Dwarves- Short and stout, live mostly underground to escape the King's rule. Are usually forgotten about.
Elves- Most magical and most suppressed by the King's rule of the three races. Live in harmony with nature. Usually tall and thin.
Elf Mage/Oracle- This elf has respect of all elves. He/she is the most magical of the race by being able to create potions and limited spells. They also are able to see into the future although the prophesies are often unclear. Once they have mastered their skills, they usually chose an apprentice to take their role once they die. (Remember- This Mage has only moved up from apprentice for 17 human years, which is a short time period for elves. He/she should be very inexperienced still. They may or may not have complete control of their powers, but they will not have an apprentice yet.)
Element Children- They are humans but are able to manipulate one of the four elements. They were always drawn to their element, and occasionally strange things happened around them, but their powers were not fully unlocked until they received their orb on that fateful night. Please be creative on background. This will be more entertaining if the characters do not immediately get alone due to cultural differences.
