The kingdoms used to be a very different place, a place in which war could rage for over a century and show no sign of stopping...
In the time After the Dragons (AD), the four kingdoms fell into a bit of chaos. And out of that chaos arose the Elements.
For as long as anyone can remember, there have been the Four Deities. The Goddess of Spring, the Deity of Winter, the Goddess of Summer, and the Deity of Autumn.
