•Terra
A mysterious planet that orbits a star called Solus, the location of Terra in space is unknown. The map and the topography, of Terra is the same as that of Earth.
•Gate
A gate is a passageway within one to convert elemental energy into elements. Every living creature on Terra has a gate within them. While humans can only have one gate, other living creatures can have more than one. There are 10 tiers of gates out of which the names of 4 have been lost in Unknown. Each tier will be more potent than the last. After going up a tier, one can learn something new about their Element. Each gate is restricted to only 1 Element.
1) Broken
2) Awakened
3) Conjuror
4) Bound
5) Echo
6) ???
7) ???
8) ???
9) ???
10) Celestial
•Elemental energy
Everything in nature has a part of it built out of Elemental energy. A human body, a piece of paper, a tree, a rock, etc... Living creature can use this Elemental energy to turn it into Element. Element can be used for self-defense, offence, and even in day-to-day life. One can recover Elemental energy just as they recover stamina.
•Elements
Elements are formed by living creatures by the use of a Gate and their internal Elemental Energy. There are 10 types of elements. Each of them is unique in their own way and equal to each other. Out of these 10 elements, three have been lost in Unknown. The elements of all living beings are decided when they are born. No hard work can change the element you have affinity towards.
1) Inferno
2) Aqua
3) Tempest
4) Terra
5) Soul
6) Solus
7) Shadow
8) ???
9) ???
10) ???
A human (example - "David") has an Echo gate and Inferno Element affinity, so he would be called "Inferno Echo David" or just "Echo David".
•Life on Terra
Just like Earth, Terra also has a lot of different living creatures, but these animals also have gates within them. When the tier of their gate is low, for example, a Broken or Awakened gate, the animals are the same as those of Earth, but as the tiers progress, they become more and more different..... Some living beings can have more than one gate. Insects like ants, butterflies will have only 1 broken gate most of the time, whereas animals like bears, elephants, and lions might have more than 1 gate of a high tier. Animals that have more than 1 gate will have only one primary gate, and the others will be secondary.
for example a giant cedar tree has 2 gates of the bound tier. One of them being Aqua(primary) while the other being Terra(secondary). The tree will be called " Aqua Bound Cedar" or just "Bound Cedar". But primary and secondary hold no meaning as it can use both gates with equal potency.
•The Dawn Era
Around 1000 years ago, humans were a thriving species of the planet; they were on each continent of the planet and were stronger than a lot of animals. Humans had the knowledge of all the elements and some humans were even as strong as the calamities. But due to a reason lost in Unknown most of the humans on terra were wiped out. The only humans alive are on one continent, but the knowledge of the outside world has been lost. The world outside the continent is called Unknown.
•Unknown
Humans are only alive on 1 of the 6 continents of Terra, the other 5 continents are called Unknown. The knowledge of the other continents, higher tier of gates and elements has been lost in Unknown. Going out into Unknown is a death wish as it is ruled by higher tiers of creatures called calamities.
•Calamities
Calamities are Apex predator's of each continent, The amount of Calamities are unknown but each continent has or had at least one. Calamities have at least 2 gates and are above the echo tier.
•Countries
Unlike Earth, Terra does not have countries. The land has been split between 4 rulers who are a part of the country of Mytherra. The Western territory, the Eastern territory, The Northern territory and The Central territory.
•Humans
Humans are born with a broken gate within them, the element of the child is decided at birth by nature and it will be either that of the father's or mother's. Children are homeschooled by private tutors until the age of 15 and until they have an awakened gate. One can start the process of forming an awakened gate at the age when they have a complete grasp of their entire body, around 10-12, with the help of tutors and books. But 60% of humans still have broken gates.
After becoming an awakened one can learn the process of becoming a conjuror at a school, and after one is a conjuror, they are called mages. Mages can partake in many activities such as Exploring, Teaching, etc....
