The Elemental Guardians are often renowned as being the protectors of Majoria, they defend the world from things that would threaten to wipe out life on the world. Though the Guardians are widely worshiped and are considered to be good in nature, this would not be the case with all sixteen. There was one Guardian that had sparked controversy among many of the people that called Majoria home; Danas, the Lord of the Dead. Each Guardian has a magical element related to them, and Danas' magic was capable of turning the dead into soulless puppets, though unlike the Majorians, his soulless puppets would last for much longer, in fact, they would continuing walking until they had been killed once again. Nearly 10,000 years ago, before the rise of many of the nations that now call Majoria home, he had attempted to subjugate the world, believing it was his birthright as one of the Elemental Guardians. At first, his fifteen siblings just brushed it aside, thinking it was some stupid joke, but he was serious in his desire. Starting with what would eventually become Antares, he would embark on a quest to rule Majoria. Thousands of people died in his conquest, and those killed would eventually become his puppets. Unfortunately for him, his siblings would step in before he could get too far. By the time they would interrupt his plans, nearly all of Tucana was under his control. The battle between Danas and his siblings ranged on for nearly a full year and it's believed that this battle is what gave rise to the mountain ranges that form the present day borders between the nations of Tucana. Following the conclusion of the battle, Danas had been imprisoned in a cell deep below the Ironbind Mountains that form the borders of Antares, Rigel, Orionis, and Arcturus and had been put into a dormant state. Five keys had been created and scattered about Majoria, hoping that he would not be able to rise once again.
The state Danas was in left his element of magic severely weakened, meaning the one powerful death magic had become considerably weaker, though it remained the subject of controversy. Over the many long years that Danas had been imprisoned, a cult by the name of the Children of Danas had formed, hoping to restore the full power of his magic, though they weren't aware of how to do this until the first leader of the cult, Richarde Colby, had discovered one of the keys during his exploration of what would eventually become Leporis. Centuries would go by and the group would collect the other four keys and recently, unknown to the other Guardians, they had found the resting place of Danas. Not knowing the full consequences of what would happen, they had unlocked the cell that had held the Lord of the Dead, however he was still in a dormant state, but with his prison now unlocked, he would be free to do as he pleased. It's up to the nations of the world to either rise up against this dangerous being or accept their fate and become faithful servants of Danas.
With this plot, this involves our characters getting the attention of the other Elemental Guardians. Thanks to their many temples and shrines around the world, this isn't difficult, however time is crucial at this point. If Danas rises once again, Majoria could become a very different place, though what could possibly stop a delusional cult and an angry Guardian? The ironic death of Danas will mean his element of magic will cease to exist, how many people will really be willing to give up such a controversial, but useful form of magic? Will we be capable of getting the Lord of the Dead to surrender and return to his duties as one of the sixteen Guardians of Majoria?
This RP will have very extensive combat scenes as we're in the middle of a cataclysmic war. I will personally take the roles of the Elemental Guardians, so that'll be covered. Character death is a very likely scenario, so be prepared. Dark themes will take place; mentions of abuse, possible kidnappings, and suicidal themes will be common, so be warned.
