For centuries, an uneasy peace has gripped the large continent of Helenos, the raging Battel Ocean surrounding it a constant reminder of the never ending turmoil and death constantly hitting the land.
The inhabitants are the Peacefull yet Proud Tribesman of the Elemental Tribes, living deep within the Official "Frontier" having been around since before the major powers emerged. Living mainly in largely mobile and collapsible houses, they are mainly nomads who travel within their vast, yet quickly dwindiling territories. Masters at hand to hand combat, they maintain a small yet vastly skilled fighting force gathered from all the 4 tribes and the 2 newly created Tribes of Water and the largly mysterious Dark tribe. only a few special tribesmen can use magic, the Dark Tribe being an example. Unlike the Kindom of Siton, they only use Magic to better the tribes and create better living conditions, and to create barricades for the enemy.
the powerfull nation of Masos (Masos, translated= Land of man's labor) arose near the Southern Coast, due to its close proximity to Combustion Crystals and Fire pits, giving them the abilty to make weapons and armor at an alarming rate for their military, little is known of what goes on within the borders of the nation, some say the inhabitants have become poisoned by their own Toying with Nature, others say that they are amasing their numbers to make an all out assault on the tribes and the Kingdom of Siton (siton, translated=silent Mountains) still, no one is sure.
The Kingdom of Siton is one that makes all attempts at staying neutral, having been pushed to the brink of defeat after the first Expansion war with Masos. they get their name from the fact that the large mountains surrounding them keep any and all noise from within, and without from passing. Situated in the Eastern coast and surrounding mountains and grasslands, it has access to much of the natural resources within the mountains.The inhabitants maintain a healty balance of both new and old ideals and living styles. Their military might is not determined by numbers or amount of weapons, it is determined by the willingness of the people to fight, and by the power of their sorcery. Siton is the only kingdom to use magic, mainly Elemental, in warfare. much of the population have at least the ability to make a rock fly across the room, with the small minority being able to create walls of Blistering Flame and summon thunderstorms on command.
All three factions have different views on how the land should be ruled and used, and only one is willing to kill to make it happen.
The Elementals wish to have the land reclaimed by nature, with all three factions uniting under one people, in order to end all fighting.
Masos' plan is to conqor the Elemental tribes and quickly use the recourses to finnaly defeat the Siton kingdom, enslaving their advesarys after the war and continuing their wastefull usage of the land.
Siton would rather just let all people continue their ways of life, but with a counsil set up to ensure a continued peace. some in the higher ranks wish to defeat Masos to insure the peace.

Name, Eracio Reyes
Faction, Elemental Tribe, Wind
Skill, Bowman, young
Eracio is known for his skill with a bow, having helped in the push against Masos During the Frontier Reclaimation Wars.
Having Seen and Tasted War and Fear, would love nothing more than the Continent to be at peace, but continually, his people engage Masos and in some cases Siton Patrols looking to Expand even further beyond their Agreed Territories.
His small Family is housed in a Large Mobile Tent that so far has withstood Flame and Blade.
He is now on a Reconnasance mission on the 3 Point Border, where the territories of the three factions meet, so far, nothing other than a few freindly Siton Traders heading to Neutral Trading posts within the Frontier, but soon, the calm and Beauty of the Frontier and Siton Mountain Ranges, will be Battered by an all out Blood War.....As man waged war after war, slaughtered their enemy and their enemy's children, the Spirits shed tears for their Ignorance of one fact, In the End, Everyone Is afraid to Die........
"AHHHHH, smell that?" Eracio turned to his Freind Tule, "No Eric, in fact, i cant smell anything besides your constant Crap." Tule stood slowly and cricked his back, "Anyways, we should get going, I doubt the Masos Facists would make a move now, its the Time of the Lucian Tide, theres no way theyd disgrace that." Eracio thought for a second, combing back his fur with his paw, "Naw, ill wait here, see if any more of those Nice Traders with the Sweet Herbs pass by, i love those things." Tule shook his head, "Im beginning to think youd rather be one of those uptight Sitons Brother" (Elementals Consider all Life as their Family, Earth's children they say) Eracio rolled on his back, slowly rolling his shoulder on the grass, scratching deeply into his fur, "I just like the things they carry with them is All, if you want to go, go, i wont stop you, Elder Gety will though." Eracio smiled and put his hands behind his head, looking at Tule, "Your a Punk you know that?" Eracio nodded and yawned, "Come on, stay, the next watch wil lbe here soon enou...." A large Bolt of Lighting tore through the trees a few yards in front of them, a Siton Sorcerer standing Broodingly over the collapsed frame of a Masos Infantryman, "Did you see that!!??" Tule dove for the ground and watched as the Siton carefully looked through the fallen soldier's belongings, and saw him be torn almost to shreds by Crossbow Bolts, "Oh my God...." The Siton collapsed backwards, arrows obliterating his features, pain, anguish, fear, all were unrecognizeable through the shredded flesh. "Eric, we need to leave, NOW!!" Tule picked up his sword and walked back towards their tribe, "Eric, NOW!!" Eric shook his head and picked up his bow, sprinted with Tule to tell the Elders of the Small Engagement.
