The Beginnings
Long, long ago, in the beginning of the Ages, a goddess named Aria found a tiny spec of dust in the atmosphere. The dust, she molded, and extended until it became a giant sphere. The sphere was filled with flowing water, and soon after life followed. She loved the land and taught the inhabitants how to survive. The goddess protected the creatures there from outside harm, fending off any harmful entities, and healing the sickly and wounded. The inhabitants of the land praised her for she was the savior of that land. One day, Aria's sister Zephita saw that Aria was spending too much time with the lump of land. So, Zephita inquired Aria what would happen if Aria left these people alone. Zephita told her sister that the inhabitants were just using Aria and couldn't get along with one another if she left. Aria disagreed with Zephita, and wanted to show her sister that these people could get along fine without Aria. So, she told Zephita her plan: Aria was going to leave the land with her crystal powers. The goddess would return to the land if the inhabitants could live peacefully without her for 1000 years, proving to Zephita that Aria was not the only thing that kept these people together, and would leave Aria alone. Aria would then return and be with the inhabitants of the land, guiding them forever in the right direction. If the humans abuse her powers, however and fight among one another, she would cease to lend these inhabitants her powers and let Zephita do whatever she wanted with this land. Zephita gladly agreed. So Aria left the land. That world is known as Cyril.
The Six Crystal Kingdoms
Seven Crystals scattered across the land each containing a power of the goddess. Six crystals were found and a kingdom was formed around each of the gigantic crystals.
To the west was the kingdom of Dorma, a nation forged of steel. Their Fire Crystal, burns a bright red color. The Dormans used the crystal powers to smelt, building steel walls, weapons, and armors. Their method of transportation are steel chariots with horses wearing metal armor. Many Warriors come from this land, as well as Fire mages, and Blacksmiths. The entrance of Dorma is guarded by a gigantic steel wall, and a gate that stood tall. Their colors are metallic gray, and fiery orange.
To the east of Cryil was the kingdom of Valein. They had the Wisdom Crystal which radiated a lush green color. With the crystal's powers the Valeinians were able to write many books, and become discipline in various sources of magic. Their villages are kept simple with wood and mud, but their inner cities have advanced magic protecting them. Huge force field surrounds Valein protecting them from foreign invasion. Archers, and Force mages come from these parts. Their colors are lime green, and electric blue.
Dorma and Valein were the big two kingdoms. Then there were four smaller kingdoms.
To the Northwest was the kingdom of Eztam, and their Power crystal. This purple crystal gave the Eztams huge bodies. Their strengths were unmatched. The citizens picked up huge stones and carved mountains to create their kingdom. Giants, and Barbarians come from these lands. These people needed no protection but their own men, and catapults. Their colors were purple, and blood red.
To the Northeast lies a sea, and underneath, the citizens of Limaz. The kingdom of Limaz hosted the Water crystal, which radiated an aqua blue color. The crystal gave these people the power to control the currents of the water. A huge clear bubble protects their village from being flooded, their people have communicated with animals of the sea as well as controlled the currents to be able to harvest energy and collect food. They have tamed a huge underwater beast to protect their village if needed. Water mages, Water beast tamers, and Pirates come from these lands. Their colors were a pale blue, and sandy light brown.
To the Southwest likes the kingdom of Actuk, where the Nature crystal is ingrained onto the land. The crystal boasts a mighty brown color, and is enveloped in green leaves. The Actuks value nature, and make their homes out of dried tree branches and moss. They have befriended many wild creatures and have hunted many as well. The kingdom's philosophy is to take what is needed and give back. Beast tamers, and Hunters come from this region. Their colors are bark brown and leafy green.
Now to the south east of Cryil, lies the smallest kingdom of them all: Cryillia. Cryillia has the crystal of Courage. It is said that the goddess gave out this crystal as a reminder to get along for everyone around. The crystal shines a golden yellow and is erected in the middle of the kingdom. Many come to this kingdom for refuge from the other kingdoms. Despite being small, the kingdom of Cryilla is known to house the devout, and has the ability to heal people. Churches of the goddess lay in the middle, devout Kinights, Priests/Priestesses, and Monks come from this land. The Cryillians seek peace and wait until the goddess Aria will come back to them. Their colors are a golden yellow, and pearly white.
Modern Times
500 years after the goddess has left, Dorma forged an alliance with Eztam, and began an invasion to Actuk. They burned the kingdom of Actuk and it's people with it. Then, the leader of Dorma, Enrique Dar Heizner the Third, cut off the head of the Actuk leader, Kul'u Kiki Tahul. The Actuks were given a choice to serve or die. Many fled the land, but those who were not fortunate enough, had to serve Dorma. The sudden rise of Dorma, made the Eztam close off their entrance to their underwater city. Valein refused to act, as it was one of the bigger kingdoms. Many of it's people were in disagreement with one another.
50 years passed and Dorma seemed to have no other plans of invading at the moment. Worried of a sudden invaision form Dorma, the king of Cryillia decided to gather heroes who would create an alliance with the other kingdoms, and defend the other crystals from Dorma. There was a rumor going on that whoever controlled all six of the crystals would be granted power to destroy the whole world.
