The Fifth Dragon
The Races of Terra
Elves- A graceful and intelligent race of noble people. They are masters of magic. They are most at home in forests and meadows. Their life span is 200 years.
Humans- A race full of savagery, they can employ their minds to create things of science and magic. They are usualy not that adept at using mana, but every once in a while, there is a human master of magic. Thay can survive almost anywhere there is food and water. They can live to about 100 years.
Before the Game
Five thousand years ago, the Elves discovered a new race called humans in the Nekar Desert. Intrigued, they brought them out of the desert and taught them many things including how to read and write and use mana. They lived in peace and harmony for several years under the rule of the Elven King, Samael. Soon, a power hungry human by the name of Balthamel slew Samael and his family, sending the world into a war between humans and elves. In an act of desperation, the outnumbered elves used mana to separate the continent, hoping to send the humans away. Eventually the humans created ships and sail back to the elves, and the war continued. The humans then kill all but 475 elves who then become slaves. Seeing that his followers now number less than 500, The Dragon God slayed Balthamel for his crimes and set the elves free. Twenty years later, Balthamel's daughter confronts the Dragon God and while he is asleep she drives her father's sword in to his heart. Since the Dragon God is immortal, he does not die but instead splits into five pieces/dragons. One dragon to control each element and one to control them. With out their leader, the humans forgot about the hiding elves and settled down. A couple thousand years later the Elven Nation (known as Shivana) contacts the human nations. Both sides live in harmony, worshiping the Five Dragons. The fifth dragon disappears for no known reason, causing an uproar. For years people searched for this dragon. One of these was a powerful human mage by the name of Zarkin. He alone knew that to find the fifth dragon would allow him to unite them and resurect the Dragon God. His search is almost at an end...
The Game
After finding an elf unconcious in the woods, Matthias knew his life would change forever. Taking her back to his mentor, she awakens. She reveals that her name is Estelle and she is on a mission to find a Blademaster known as Sirius. Realizing that she ment him, Matthias's mentor asked her why she was searching for him. Saying that the King of Shivana needed to speak to him, she reveals that she is a palace guard and personal friend of Samael XXV, the king of her country. Seeing the importance of her mission, Siruis agrees to go on the condition that Matthias acompanies them. They set out the next day...
