Prologue: Golden Age
Prologue:
In an epoch veiled in the mists of ancient lore, the Human Continent and the Demon Realm clashed in a tumultuous war that spanned a century. The echoes of battle thundered across landscapes scarred by conflict, and the fate of realms hung in the balance. It was a time when the heavens wept, and the earth itself trembled beneath the weight of ceaseless strife.
As the war raged on, a divine intervention unfolded. Seven individuals, blessed by the revered gods of Sun, Water, Wind, Earth, Fire, Darkness, and Light, emerged as beacons of hope. Each hero wielded a unique magic bestowed upon them by their patron deity, channeling the very essence of their gods to quell the demonic onslaught.
In a climactic convergence of powers, the seven heroes harnessed their divine gifts to seal the malevolent demons away, banishing them to a realm beyond mortal reach. The once tumultuous war came to an abrupt and resounding end, leaving behind a world forever altered by the crucible of conflict.
In the aftermath of victory, the seven revered gods and their mortal champions established realms of prosperity and order. The heroes, now known as the Founders, erected grand cities infused with the essence of their respective gods and elemental magic. These cities, bathed in the radiance of divine blessing, became the foundation of the first major continents and it's kingdoms in the annals of history.
And thus, the seven continents arose, each a testament to the divine intervention that ended a century of strife. A new era dawned, marked by the legacy of the Founders and the harmonious balance between gods and mortals—a legacy that would echo through the ages.
Yet, as swiftly as the divine heroes had emerged to shape the course of history, they vanished from the realms they had saved. The grand cities stood as monuments to their triumph, but the heroes themselves became ethereal echoes in the annals of time, their destinies entwined with the very magic that flowed through their veins.
In the wake of their mysterious disappearance, the descendants of the seven heroes inherited both the burden and the blessing of their forebears' legacy. The divine magic that once coursed through the veins of the Founders now pulsed within the blood of their kin, marking the birthright of a new era.
As the kingdoms flourished, the descendants took up the mantle of leadership, guided by the ideals and principles of their divine ancestors. Each kingdom, a testament to the elemental magic bestowed by the gods, thrived under the stewardship of those chosen to carry forward the legacy.
The disappearance of the Founders became a poignant enigma, a myth whispered by storytellers and chronicled in ancient tomes. Some believed the heroes ascended to a celestial plane, watching over their creations with benevolent eyes. Others speculated that the gods reclaimed their champions, withdrawing them from the mortal realm once their purpose was fulfilled.
Regardless of the speculation, the descendants forged alliances, waged wars, and navigated the complexities of ruling their respective kingdoms. The divine magic passed down through generations, a reminder of a time when mortals and gods united against a common foe.
And so, in the hallowed embrace of their ancestral magic, the descendants carried the torch of their predecessors into an uncertain future—a future shaped by the divine legacy of the Founders, where the echoes of a bygone era lingered in the winds, whispered through the waters, and blazed in the eternal light.
