Prologue:
In the age following the War of the Divine the world has been rebuilt to a semblance of its former self. There is an ocean that separates the continents from each other and mountains that pierce the heavens. A sea of black water at the bottom of a cliff that is on the east coast of the north. In the north is the Kingdom of Simiia where the king Vlaterio sits on his throne and governs using magic to protect his realm. In Simiia there is born the people known as the anima. The anima are people born with the ability to control certain elements; fire, wind, water, earth, and on rare occasion light and dark. In the time of the divine there was a now enigmatic race that used magic that could send people across great distances and even level cities. The power of the anima has lessened but is still very powerful and dangerous if gone unchecked. The anima are sent to learn to harness their powers as soon as they are discovered because of this danger. All people in Simiia must go to school and the most prestigious school in the land is the University of Arika. It is a school that is located in the royal city and only the extremely talented and gifted get accepted to Arika. Arika is the prestige of Simiia if you wish to be a general or if you are to one day take the throne you must have attended Arika. The country is on the brink of war against an assailant from the west across a small sea of Yoria. The people have not known war in an age and were not ready when they were attacked in the western coastal city of Hiored. Few people escaped that massacre and now the soldiers from across the sea that remained were held there by the armies of Simiia. The men that attacked are different from the Simiians though they are shorter they seemed to be made for heavy labor and they were dirty creatures that fought with blunt weapons that utilized their strength and lack of speed. Now Simiia goes to war and only the gods know what the outcome will be.
