A Tale Told Across Time
Prologue
In Medieval times, in a distant land, there was a land called Kanjera. Now, Kanjera needed a balance of the five elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Shadow. With out the elements, Kanjera would be destroyed. Kanjera could survive for a while with out the elements being balanced, but peace can only survive for a while.
The Leaders of the Tribes of Earth, Water, Fire and Wind, decided that it would be best if, to secure the world's safety for future generations, they would set orbs representing the five elements in a special sanctuary. The four tribes described their plan to the Doshim, or Shadow tribe. Their leader reluctantly agreed.
In order to place the Orbs in their sanctuaries, the five tribes nominated their strongest warriors. Ronim, of Earth, Rockhan of water, Kanos of Fire, Elima of Wind, and Mortauge of Shadow. Thus the five knights began their quest to place the orbs in their sanctuaries.
Their quest went unhindered for a time, but, soon Mortauge, of the shadow began to plot against the other four. Soon, with the help of other tribe members, he stole the other elemental orbs and scattered them across the world, not knowing that this might eventually destroy the world.
When the four remaining knights returned, they sought out Mortauge and brought him to justice. The tribes tried fruitlessly to find the orbs, but to no avail. Years later, the Doshim launched a large attack on the four other tribes, almost decimating them, and with a few survivors.
The world has reformed since, but the elemental powers now are gifted to a special few, save those who are the direct descendents of the tribes. And that is where this story begins, almost a millennia later.
