THE VISION

I

n an age that ensures the lessons of the past inform the excellence of tomorrow, where time trudges forward but a memory of a lost home lingers in the minds of those lucky enough to have experienced it. That home is more than a place, it’s a communal experience shared by an entire society of valiant tacticians, adventure seekers, cultural visionaries, and prolific creators – each a profound architect of their destiny, the next generation of innovators, storytellers and leaders.

These champions lay in waiting, ever-anticipating the sign to return to a place that challenges their finely honed skills and celebrates the remarkable individual impact they will make if given the opportunity. They deserve to inherit a world that heralds the glory of a golden era of camaradery and competition, ensuring its best virtues set the foundation for a better civilization, an evolution of their pre-eminence designed for the modern era.

this is the realm of samhan, and it is time for its defenders to return home.

THE SETTING

T

he realm of Samhan has perpetually stood as a beacon of elemental harmony and balance. As the world around it evolved, Samhan withdrew into seclusion, slowly losing the delicate balance it once maintained over the elements as its defenders dwindled. Now, the descendants of those founding defenders are called to reclaim their birthright. These heirs to Samhan find their risky passage into the preeminent region of mystery, arriving in a place innately intuitive but completely foreign. A realm hidden from conventional maps and only accessible to those who are privy to its secrets.

The world at large beyond the boundaries of Samhan were also actively governed by elemental forces, allowing the most gifted across the globe to harness its boundless power. It remains their anointed role as a regulator of the elements to govern the balance between each element and ensure harmony among all. The sheer volume of defenders scattered across the earth ensured parity among elemental energies. As these defenders aged and disappeared, the philosophy of interacting with, regulating and harnessing the elements slowly faded as well.

Eventually this wisdom concentrated within one sacred region, shaping it into the physical gatekeeper between the elemental realm and earth. Only here has the embodiment of elemental energy remained strong enough to be influenced. The loss of this gateway would plunge the entire planet into elemental calamity, beyond the reach or influence of any human. The preservation of Samhan ensures the prosperity of the whole earth, and knowledge of this profound balance belongs to a dwindling league of exceptionally trained heroes, scattered across the globe.

The call to return home is subtle, the elements connection with the descendants of defenders speaks in sensations and dreams. It triggers a yearning to quench an indescribable thirst, and those most finely tuned to their instincts will be able to satiate their craving. They must return to a place where elemental energy surges through the environment around them and train their dormant skills to match their innate potential.

THE MISSION

O
nly descendants of defenders can train under path masters to confront unruly elemental forces, aiming to restore order to a realm overrun with peril. Discordant energies warp nature, transforming peaceful creatures into chaos-wreaking beasts. Samhan’s once-harmonious lands now teeming with dangers, compelling rural inhabitants to move closer to fortified cities for protection.

Whispers persist of the descendants of the founding defenders living beyond Samhan’s borders, their inherited power untapped and in waiting. As leaders deliberate, tension mounts. Historically the defenders worked shoulder to shoulder with the royals and diplomats to oversee the safety of the realm. While the threat of destruction looms above their heads, some are convinced their prestigious positions are at risk by the return of Samhan’s founding bloodlines to these sacred lands.

While training under path masters and enhancing their control of the elements, defenders will invest time into building friendships with the townspeople who are now their neighbors. These strategic relationships translate into a unique reputation, defining each defender’s personalized roadmap to greatness.

Some locals may initially distrust the defenders while others understand their essential role in restoring safety to the overlands of Samhan, allowing them safe navigation within the entirety of it. They know that only defenders can master the power of the elements and reclaim the territories they’ve lost to the unchallenged monsters that now defend it like their own.
