Thus, the race for the power of the Relic is on...
--See the full plot here.

Basic Subplots

--Each Kingdom has it's own subplot within the main plot. Following are very watered down versions of these plots. The full plots are [here].
  • Sera: A new King, and the first King, of Sera has been chosen. The Kingdom is on the brink of Civil war as others believe the old councils should be reinstated or that they have a better King or Queen for the new Kingdom.
  • Ventus: This Kingdom houses the Ventus Brotherhood, an order of assassins and spies. The Brotherhood are secretly the Loners searching for the Relic. (See more on the Brotherhood here.) Currently, the King is sending Brothers to Valetudo and spreading resources thin.
  • Valetudo: This peaceful Kingdom is known for their superior Health and Social Structure. Now, an Undan and Glacien invasion is on the horizon and the Queen cowers at the thought of her Kingdom's first battle in ages ending in defeat, even with the Brotherhood on her side.
  • Terra: Devastated by the 15 year war with Ignis, the once proud Kingdom is in rags and the land scorched an barely livable. Left to fend for themselves, the people have begun to desperately look for the Relic as their one and only hope as fights continues from the newly ended war.
  • Ignis: One of the youngest Kingdoms, they did not suffer nearly as much as their enemy Kingdom. Ignis thrives, though rumors have begin to surface that the Queen herself was responsible for terrorist attacks that were the start of the Ignis Terran War. The Kingdom stands divided.
  • Unda: Undans control any and all trade in Carista. However, recently people have divided from the Kingdom and formed their own: Glacies. Now, Undan ships push to the corners of the poles in search of their traitorous brothers and sisters, killing all that lie in their path or forcing them below deck as slaves.
  • Glacies: A Kingdom that is only 30 years old, the people of poles finally decided to be free of the tyrannical rule of the Undan Queen and form a Kingdom of their own. However, with the constant attacks on their villages, they have looked to Valetudo and the Loners rumored to be there as a safe haven. However, with nearly every person in South Glacies going directly to a single Kingdom, panic has lead to violence of an invasion.
