The land of Seiryu has long since been the home of the most vicious and powerful creatures, races and monsters. It is the largest continent in the world, surrounded by small, island-like countries which look nothing more like pebbles on a map. Seiryu is home to elves, orcs, humans, Kin (furries) and dragons. Mountain clusters are littered in various parts of the land, connected by plains across the southern spans, the Central Desert glittering in the sun, and the frozen tundras of the north. Humans, Kin and orcs made up a majority of the larger societies while elves mostly lived in solitary in the forests of the east and west or within hidden valleys. All the species, however, avoided the Dragons. The top of mountain clusters and ruins of kingdoms long abandoned were the homes to these monsters, and they were larger than life. The average dragon had a body over 5-10 meters long, and 3 meters tall while just on their bellies. However, the most feared were the grand dragons, the longer lived monstrosities that have evolved beyond the others. They are normally found at treasure pits and hearts of the most mineral-rich mountains. Grand dragons differed in size and powers, depending on the element that they were born into.
In the last 3000 years of recorded history, legends and stories have been passed down. There was one legend that stood above the rest, which everyone in the world has always tried to find and coveted, the Life Stone. The Life Stone is said to be the tear of the Goddess Serenity during the Great Creation when the Demon God Karasu tried to destroy the world which she had created and the beings that she birthed to inhabit it. The stone was said to have been used by her to revive all the dead and restored the lands to their rightful place, but in turn meant the separation of the gods and demons from the material world. The stone is said to have the powers of bringing back the dead and rejuvenating whomever the beholder wished, including themselves.
The stone had been rumored to have been found several times in history, having been kept in a kingdom's court and lost later because of greed, to protect the world or because of the overtaking from dragons. In the last thousand years, it had merely become speculation, and not many actually believed in its existence. But that has never once stopped power-hungry warriors, thieves, greedy kings and the brave/broken of heart who seek to bring back their loved ones back to life. Many have sought it out, and all of have died. One of the biggest problems was dragons, and the other was the sheer number of legends and rumors, all of which have absolutely no credibility.
And here's where you come in. You're one of the many would-be adventurers who are going to attempt what history has proven impossible. You are experienced in your field, but you have never put them to use. You have always said you would go on an adventure, but you have always put it off, coming up with one excuse or another. However, on this fine, summer day, you happened upon an opportunity to finally change that dream into reality, and in the most unlikely of places. On the southeastern port of Holloway, a beaten adventurer seeks to bury his dead, and to find new members to his party.
