Pillar

Elemental Mastery: Each Pillar has achieved the highest level of mastery over their respective element. Their bending abilities are unparalleled, and they can perform feats that regular benders can only dream of. The process of becoming a Pillar involves not only raw power but also a deep understanding and connection to their element. This connection goes beyond just bending techniques; it's a spiritual and almost symbiotic relationship. Fortress Governance:   The Pillars are not just powerful benders but also rulers of their elemental fortresses. Each fortress is a magnificent structure, uniquely shaped and imbued with the essence of its corresponding element. The governance involves not only protecting the Elemental Stone but also ensuring the prosperity of the people within the fortress. Pillars have the authority to make decisions related to law, order, and development. Elemental Stones and Guardians:   The Elemental Stone is a source of immense power and wisdom. It's a mystical artifact connected to the Elemental Gods. The Guardians are ethereal beings that serve as the intermediaries between the Pillar and the Elemental Stone. The Pillars can communicate with the Elemental Gods through the Guardians, seeking guidance and receiving visions. The Elemental Gods might bestow additional powers or set quests for the Pillars. Alignment Festival:   The Alignment Festival is a grand event that draws people from all corners of the world. It's not only a time for the Pillars to showcase their abilities but also a period of celebration and trade between the elemental realms. The festival involves competitions, exhibitions, and diplomatic discussions. It's also a time when the Pillars may choose to engage in elemental battles to test their strength or defend their titles. Economic Impact:   The extraction of elemental essence during the Pillar's ascension has a profound impact on the world's economy. The elemental coins made from this essence become a valuable and coveted currency, influencing trade and commerce. The Pillars' decisions on resource allocation within their fortresses also affect the global economy. A prosperous fortress can uplift surrounding regions, while a neglected one might lead to economic downturns. Challenges and Rivalries:   The position of Pillar is not always secure. Challenges can arise at any time, and a contender may seek to dethrone the current Pillar through an elemental battle. The dynamics of rivalries and alliances among the Pillars can create political intrigue, and the Alignment Festival becomes a stage for both collaboration and conflict. Elite Squads:   The Pillars select a group of the ten strongest benders below them to form an elite squad. This squad is entrusted with critical missions, including the protection of the fortress and the pursuit of external threats. Members of the elite squad are highly respected and undergo rigorous training. Their loyalty and abilities contribute significantly to the success and stability of the Pillar's reign.
