Prelude: the age of defiance
Four great countries were made in this world each one had its resources and power source. Each had its time for development but one became greedy and started to burden their power source the Crystal of Air. The country of north had almost run dry their source of power because of their high-tech machinery and the country had gotten greedy. So wars commenced as this fool of a country invaded the south and the west just for the Earth and Water crystal. The south resisted them for quite a while but lost there crystal and the west gave in and handed there crystal as a truce.
Now there was only the country of fire in resistance and they were holding on tightly and thus still have their powers but little did they know that the North Country had a plan involving shards of the three crystals that they have.
Inside the great halls of King Beham lay an engineer holding a weird diamond they were talking quietly to the king.
"Sire with these Magi crystal our armies would increase in power tenfold," The engineer whispered, "also we could create societies of new people, with magic auroras."
"This is great news I see but me as the king want to make sure the societies obey the commands I wish and that the mages live in great pleasure here in the castle while the low level thieves live in district towns with poor conditions," the king pronounced.
"As you wish my king," the engineer replied quietly.
The engineers soon left the throne room and began on their tedious work.
"Thus the journey begins," The Air Crystal muttered under its breath.
