What's the difference???

In the elemental world, there are a multitude of terms that appear to be used interchangeably or have a confusing understanding.  To help you get through, here are some of the more common terms that are used:

Elementalist-an elemental that can use every existing element
elementalist-an elemental that uses a single element (the term is usually proceeded by the person's element)

Elementia-the actual planet that people live on (equivalent to Earth)
Elemental League-the governing body of Elementia (this includes the High Grandmasters, the High Council)

Destiny Gateway-official device that creates a wormhole between universes
Warphole-a taer between universes, rare, only happens amonst universes that are exceptionally close
Flip Gate-official device that allows one to go to another reality

reality-where the existing world has any number of possible existences due to different events
dimension=universe-a set system of galaxies that is separated from other dimensions/universes by the Sea of Nothing

Just a start, but it might help.

Spirit Forms

Within the elemental worlds it is important to understand the composition of a Soul.  First of all, a Soul is the combination of all of one's spirits.  It is common for one to lose a spirit and not die because they have another, however, since most people only have one spirit, their soul=their spirit.  There are several different types of spirts:

Base Spirit-The spirit you are born with and are in the form of most of the time

Counter Spirit-A spirit who's mind is always shared with the Base Spirit and the two may have phyisical    differences that appear during a switch of spirits

Fusion Spirit-A spirit that is formed of two or more different spirits.  These spirits are fully formed, thus, when in this form, the composed spirits do not communicate between each other such as with Base and Counter Spirits

Evolution Spirit-A spirit that evolves from the Fusion Spirit level, usually due to some external power.  Not many details about these spirits exist

Beast Spirit-A spirit that infuses a Soul with the power of a wild animal.  The body will tend to morph to slightly look like the animal it is of

Dark Spirit-A spirit that resides in a lower level of the body, often considered ones dark side.  This spirit is completely fused with a Base Spirit, making it extreamly difficult to kill one and not the other

Angel Spirit-A spirit that is empowered with an uncertain level of divine power.  This form may only be kept for a short period of time before the body begins to be damaged.

The Sisters

After a short time had gone on, the Pure Spirit formed a set of five daughters, each to represent the five elements of life.  Each of the Sisters were then sacrificed in pilars of their elemental forces.  The -lynns were each set to rest for a grand period of time.  Each one would return once at a time, each at a time that would be defined by their powers:  Dark, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind. 

The Pure one would remain free from the long sleep in order to oversee the return of these great powers.  For as it would be, after a cycle in which all five had a chance to live, they would all return for another great era, one that no one would be able to recognize.

In the beginning (part II)...

Elementia now filling with life, it has begun to grow in such a manner that the power might be uncontrollable.  The ancients spirits, feeling the world's sensation, awaken from their slumber and prepare to split the world.  The world would be split into five worlds, each of individual sense, though all from one. 

Lupheria will exist as a world of legends, one where heroes are born.  Ephiscus will exist as the land of story, where great events will occur both in real time and within the spoken world.  Marsis will be the world of wisdom, the world where people will go to think, calm the storm within their minds.  Pangea will represent a new world, where wonders are hidden and the idea of "self" is strengthened.  Finally, one land will maintain the namesake Elementia, the home to the elements and creatures.

With a massive storm, the spirits separated the five portions of the world, throwing them into separate dimensions, each to grow as they were.  Though unknown to the spirits, the forcing of these worlds out of one and into another dimension created a booming force, that would recreate the universes they were placed.  The spirits, proud of what they had done, then went back to rest, laying ready for the next time they will awaken...

In The Beginning...

Today I present to you part of the "Origin" story of Elementia, something I might be able to use for a preview of the book series, I hope you all enjoy.  -HGMofFire Z.Jem


In the beginning the sky was dark and the ground lifeless.  The air was flat, the colors dull.  Then out of the sky an array of light came and touched down onto the world.  The beams of light, 34 in number, spread across the land, breathing life into the dark world.  The dull colors vanished and became vibrant, the air soothing, water ran from the top of mountains, filling the oceans below.  The sky filled with clouds, ones for storms, ones for shade, ones for relaxing.  The grass grew a beautiful green, trees and flowers spouted from the cold, hard stone. 

Out of the ground, creatures were born.  Critters of all sizes and shapes and species, ones that could control magnificent powers, powers that aid the balance of the world.  The creatures spread across the land, playful in nature, overseeing this newly birthed world.

At the center of two major regions of the world, the beams of light created a tower.  A tower that would represent the five life giving lights, the lights of Darkness, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.  At the top of these towers the lights placed a special source, something of uncontrollable power.

The lights, proud of what they had accomplished, flew off in different directions across the land.  Where they stopped, they created temples, in honor of the power that they hold, 34 in total.  Before they lay themselves to rest, the lights took on semi-human form, for spirits they are and they take their power to finish their last tasks.  Together they sealed away four powerful spirits, powerful beyond life itself, and with them a fifth that would maintain their balance to be sealed separately, these spirits to only be released when the proper soul finds them.

As the spirits lay their heads down to rest, they use what energy they had to engrave a special name onto the top arch of one of the towers.  Upon it they placed the mightiest of titles...Elementia...

Let's get started...

This is it, this site will serve as a starting point for my books, The Chronicled Adventures of Elementia.  I will start by posting background on the world of Elementia, profiles on main characters, and give insight into my writing, hopefully, this will serve as a catalyst for me as I work on writing the adventures.  This also kind of a test, a first phase, so please be patient.

May the elements protect you all,

Zachary Jem, High Grandmaster of Fire
