Plot Introduction
In a contemporary fantasy world known as I-Megália, there exists a great city known as Thelotia. Thelotia is considered a city of great technological advancement and high living standards, it is considered a perfect society, but there are great cracks in their 'perfect' society.
Twenty-two years ago, a legislation was passed stating that all those who use mana are to be captured and contained effective immediately. This legislation was brought about after many countries suffered serious attacks by mana militia groups, causing great concern all across the world.
Soon after the legislation passed, great riots started to spread all across the city, hundreds of people were killed by the violence and thousands injured in the clashes that occurred. The government unleashed the military to reclaim calm and after a night of violent battles, the military restored order.
Those natural born mana tribesmen went into hiding, hoping they would not be caught by the government's hunters. But overtime, the survivors began to band together and a rebellion started to form. The guerrilla fighting will soon erupt into all-out war, set around the Mana Wells...
All across the world there is estimated ten million Mana wells. There are two tiers of 'mana wells', most of them fall under the 'dwarf wells' while there are only handful of 'major' wells.
The mana flows through these wells and out into the air, where there is a high concentration you can visibly see the mana. However, mana is all around you – and at certain times of the day it's visible as the sun hits it. Many creatures need the flow of mana to function, Megaleio as an example, use the flow of the mana to migrate during the summer.
Mana tribesmen use the mana by injecting it on the upper lair of their skin, every marking and picture painted on their body is a showing of power and respect. Everybody is different, one person could harness the magic in the form of water while the other fire. Mana only works for certain individuals and to the average person it acts like a hallucinogenic drug.
What is 'Mana'? Scientists have linked it to all forms of life and without mana, they say, life would not be possible. Powerful religions on the other hand have different meanings for it, Mana-Users would agree with scientists while the most popular religion believes that mana is a very sinful and powerful resource – trying to persuade their loyal follows with the promise of great power.
Mana is, however, a very useful resource and has become the leading source of power. 'Whoever owns the most wells holds the key to the future', the first CEO of the highly successful company Titan Inc. once said. Thelotia has the second largest Mana well, while the single largest belongs to the Elves – outside of the Empire's reach.
Today the cracks in Thelotia are beginning to show; will the security of your people drive you to join the government or the rebellion? Or will the promises of riches and glory lead you down the path to become a business man, politician or soldier of fortune?
The future is in the hands of the people. You will decide how this fight ends.
