Clash of Adventurers

Centuries ago, elemental deities dwelled peacefully in the lands of Lumeria. Eventually, the human race discovered these lands and began to settle down. For a long time humans coexisted with the deities, some humans even learnt from them how to manipulate mana and the elements. This was how humans were initiated into magic.

Seeking for more power, the greedy humanity tricked the deities and trapped them to take possession of their power. To prevent others from having access to the deities, temples and other constructions were built to conceal the sealed traps.

Blinded by selfishness, the humans that learnt how to control mana and the elements did not pass on their knowledge to the next generations, leaving the once-shared wisdom confined to dusty tomes.

As more centuries elapsed, human civilization continued expanding across the lands of Lumeria, destroying nature and broadening their territories. During this period, deities remained calm, and patiently awaited the day that the sealed traps would be somehow broken.

The foolish humans, unaware of the sealed traps placed beneath the temples built by their ancestors, tore them down, unleashing the wrath of the deities that had been patiently waiting for this unavoidable event.
