This is a place called Earth; populated by humankind and decorated with all the varieties of life that we hold dear, but the similarities stop there. In this place, mankind, we, have abilities that can only be described as magical. With the same ease as walking or talking, every living person is capable of manipulating one of eight elemental forces. Water and Fire, Earth and Air, Light and Dark, Metal and Soul, these forces are used in everyday activities and for everyday purposes. Cooking dinner? Manipulate fire. Reading at night? Manipulate light. Motivating yourself for a final exam? Manipulate soul.
Now, as any one person can only use one element in their lifetime, like-able element users have formed countries around their talent to best maximize its utility in domestic and professional life. To this end, each country (and human society as a result) has developed accordingly and, at this point, as a whole this could be said to be the Rennaissance... with a few exceptions.
So now, the question is, are you prepared to enter this other Earth? This isn't a time of strife or bloodshed. This isn't a place of convenience or health. This isn't the life you know and love. And, traveller, I can tell you right now, things are going to get worse for everyone.
