In the world of Luridaul, harmony has always been key. Humanoid creatures of all different races and species lived among one another in peace. While all "people" were different, they each had one thing in common with everyone else and that element was magic. Whether elf or human or dwarf, there were a few select beings born with the ability to harness a single element and use it at will. These were special beings, often revered by their people. It didn't take long for temples to rise all around the world in honor of these Mancers. The temples became homes to those that practiced magic. They were places where they could practice freely with other Mancers who shared their same abilities. Often, when their training was complete, they would return to their people and use their magic for good.
However, with all good, comes evil. Roughly three generations of Mancers were born into the world of Luridaul before the virtue of their powers became tarnished. It was a single young elf named Baelisar who first began the Dark Movement. As a child, he often posed the question of, "Why should I use my abilities to serve? If I'm so revered, shouldn't others be serving me?" Baelisar was the first Mancer to have such egocentric thoughts, and, as he posed his questions, others began to nod and agree with him. It took only a few years for him to gather loyal followers and begin the Dark Movement. Other small bands here and there also sought out his goals of wanting power instead of virtue. These rouge groups became known as Baghast Groups, gangs that were part of the Dark Movement but did not serve Baelisar .
The major populous of Luridaul then split. There were those that began to believe that all Mancers were a threat to life and peace. They believed that any Mancer could turn and join the Dark Movement at any time. Thus, they should be destroyed. Sadly, this view began to take hold and spread like wild fire as the Dark Movement grew larger and larger. Many of the temples were destroyed by those that were once peaceful. They sought to exterminate all Mancers and even went as far as drowning their young if they showed any signs of magic. Luridaul fell into chaos as the war began to rage.
Sadly, only a small percentage of the populous realized that normal beings could not defeat these Dark Mancers. They were far too developed in their abilities for any average man to near them, and they were raising young to follow in their place. There were those, though, that knew that preserving young Mancers would be the only way to defeat the Dark Mancers.
Today, only four of the original fifteen Mancer temples still stand. The Aero Temple; The Hydra Temple; The Lumo Temple; The Chrono Temple. Why? you ask. Why these temples? Well, the answer is because, of the fifteen temples, these four are the most difficult to reach. The Aero Temple is never in the same place, as it moves throughout the skies. The Hydra Temple rests deep within the sea. The Lumo Temple travels Luridaul along with the sun. The Chrono Temple resides in the fourth dimension. Because access to these temples is so limited, they have remained protected.
Two decades have passed since the Dark Movement began. Baelisar is fast approaching his 40th birthday, and, on that day, the planets will align in just the right way to give his power ultimate strength. It's time for the young Mancers to come out of hiding, for if they do not try and stop the darkness now, Luridaul may never see the light of day again.

 Click image to enlarge.Welcome to Luridaul.There are two major cities;
Torido is where the Dark Movement is settled.
The forces that reside in this city rule over their whole continent.
Naudoria is one of the few cities left standing.
It's very heavily fortified and still prosperous.
Most of the land is either grass or forest and there are a few
scattered lakes, deserts, and wastelands.
All of the mountain ranges, except the ones to the south, are
made up up enormous mountains.
The southern mountains are slightly small in comparison to the
rest of the world's mountains and are hollow on the inside.
The island that makes up the Pyro ruins is actually an under-water volcano.
The area where the Hydro Temple rests is the deepest sea level.
There are small village and towns scattered all over the continents and islands.
The ice and tundra to the north and south is mostly uninhabited.

Also note that no one is starting the RP with the abilities of a "skilled" Mancer.

• Skilled Mancers can go as far as creating hurricanes
02.] A t r o m a n c e r

08.] H e r b o m a n c e r
• Bend and manipulate plants

• Skilled Mancers can create massive storms from water vapor and control tides
10.] L u m o m a n c e r

 T o l l e - Z e k a r n The Breakneck Moxie-Valor
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Race: Human
Mancing Abiltiy: Electromancer
Alignment: Neutral leaning toward positive
Occupation: Does odd jobs as she travels
Accessories: She wears gloves that have flexible metal plates on the outside that have rubber in between the metal and cloth so that she can harness electricity without harming herself. She also carries small smoke bombs and several small knives or daggers hidden about her person.
Strength: Thinking on the fly, elaborate schemes, mind games, and high endurance.
Weakness: She cannot use her powers when went or else she'll risk harming herself; She can get easily distracted and has a hard time keeping to "the plan"
Likes:
•Danger
•Helping others
•Food
•Dry storms
Dislikes:
•Rain
•When things are too calm
•Lazy people
•People who are too cautious
Personality: Tolle has a very loud personality. She's very bold and isn't afraid to show it. She's a natural thrill seeker, which goes along with her Mancing abilities. Like electricity, she is unpredictable. She's always looking for something exciting and borderline dangerous to get her adrenaline going. Near-death experiences are all fun and games to her. She always makes big elaborate plans but, halfway through, she strays from them just to purposely cause herself more trouble. Because of this, she's become a master at improvising. She can be a bit moody sometimes and has a fearful temper once she's pushed past a certain point. Because of her reckless personality and lack of feminine curves, she can be mistaken for a man at times. In the troubled world she lives in, she doesn't think it's bad to be mistaken as a man. Both lacking curves and being tall give her that advantage (as she ties what bits of breasts she has down). Aside from it all, she is still female and has a hard time shaking her maternal instincts. She loves to help others and is very, very protective. It's also hard to gain her approval, as she is quick to judge and scrutinize others.
History: Born outside the Electromancer's Temple, Tolle has very vague memories of life before Baelisar began the Dark Movement. She can picture in her head what the temple looked like before it was attacked. It was tall and glorious, reaching high into the heavens. Both of her parents had been Electromancers, but they had a hard time getting Tolle to gain control of her powers without shocking herself. By the time she was sick, she could generate small sparks, but couldn't hold or control them. It was, at that time, that Baelisar began the Dark Movement. That Autumn, people of all kinds came from the nearby town. They argued with the Electromancers, telling them that they were just too dangerous. The Electromancers did not want to battle the people because they didn't want to prove their point; they wanted to try and remain peaceful, but the people were the ones who attacked.
Tolle's people tried their best to drain the energy from the attackers to slow them down without harming them, but they proved to be far too much. The Electromancers had no choice but to flee. In the chaos, Tolle got separated from her parents and soon found herself in the hands of the enemy. The small girl struggled to get free, but the man seemed almost rabid. He was squeezing her skull as tight as he could, his thumb pressing against her right eye. Tolle's screamed and then fell hard against the ground. With a loud crack, the attacker landed next to her. Through the blood, she saw her father standing over her. He yelled for her mother who swept in and scooped up her daughter. The two females fled, Tolle's father staying behind to protect them. As her mother ran, Tolle looked back just in time to see her father get swarmed by the mob. With one last burst of lightning, bodies flew everywhere, but one body was missing: her dad.
For several years, Tolle and her mother lived as nomads, moving from town to town taking on odd jobs and doing what they could so that they were safe and so that Tolle's father's sacrifice wouldn't go unappreciated. Wearing an eye-patch her whole life, she became accustomed to stares from others. At first it bothered her, but she soon learned that, with or without the patch, she was going to be stared at. At least with the patch people were less mortified by her empty eye-socket. By the time she was thirteen, her mother could take their silence no more. Out into the forest they went, where they could have privacy. They built a home and Tolle's Electromancing lessons continued. Seven more years passed and Tolle had finally reached the level of Electromancing her mother had had the day their temple was attacked. Shortly after, her mother contracted an illness and passed on.
Unable to continue living in solitude, Tolle set out to continue the way of life she had been accustomed to before: moving from town to town taking on odd jobs. Really, she did this because she was sick of hiding. She'd lost both of her parents and didn't want to be alone. She loved her powers and wanted to show them to the world! The only way to do so was to defeat Baelisar and stop the Dark Movement. So, on her travels, she's kept her eyes out for allies, but she's still suspicious of everyone she meets. By the age of twenty-six, she's become accustomed to being a solo act.
Other: She wears an eye patch over her right eye, of course, but she also has a tattoo of a lightning spiraled around her upper left arm.
