Saviors of the Broken World

Long ago, the world we know was whole. We were ruled under one, just kingdom. 
However, evil took root, and slowly tore everything apart.

❦

Ruled under the mighty kingdom of Aeridith, our realm prospered. The high rulers of Aeridith, a council of powerful mages, protected us from those with sinister intent. Through their magic, our realm survived many battles with outside forces. It was fitting, then, that the one that fell us came from within. 

Centuries ago, one of the trusted mages of Aeridith turned against the others. He rallied an army, promising more power under his single rule. After many years of war against his own kind, Aeridith fell, and our realm was no longer protected from him. It wouldn't be long before his evil and greed engulfed the entire world, and began moving on to others. As a last ditch effort, the last surviving mage of Aeridith split our realm in two, hiding the magic and evil that came with it away from our world. With her dying breath, the last mage used all of her magic to create a gem that would create a set of guardians for the purer realm, to ensure that the evil of the world now known as Veras could never take over there. 

This realm would be called Earth. Earth would move forward from this event, forgetting that it ever happened. Our technology would advance, magic becoming a thing of fairy tales. Meanwhile, Veras would remain as it was: subjugated by an evil entity that drains the magic of its people, forbidding them to advance from the dark age it was left in.However, rumor has it that there may be hope. One mage of Aeridith, left suspended in time, is said to be hidden away somewhere within Veras. This spark of hope has inspired an entire rebel force to fight against their cruel ruler, causing war and uproar amid Veras. This chaos would be enough as it is, but after centuries of holding strong, the veil that separates the two realms now threatened to collapse. Portals, two way doors to either side, have begun to appear, seemingly at random, across the veil. These doorways allow the monster of Veras, and the people of Earth, to cross over, causing further mayhem. The guardians, having gone dormant after so many years of relative peace, must be chosen again to protect the veil, and the very realms themselves.


The world of Veras...


We know about Earth, but what of this mysterious other realm? Veras is the realm in which in evil ruler, Silas, reigns supreme. Cut off from Earth during the Dark Ages, it hasn't progressed very far over the centuries. It's people live in a world without electricity, technology, or other modern advances. It does boast magic... what little hasn't been discovered and sucked dry. 

Veras is full of creatures unfamiliar to Earth, some good and some bad. Many of these creatures pledge their allegiance to the cruel ruler, gaining power on his coat tails. Others have joined the rebellion against him. Werewolves, vampires, centaurs, gargoyles, and everything in between. The possibilities are endless.

The rebel army grows in numbers each day as the people of Veras risk torture and death for the hope that someday Silas will be defeated. Their goal is to find the hibernating mage, eluded to in an ancient script discovered in Silas's possession. The leak has suggested one or more traitors in the evil tyrant's trusted council, but it also suggests a grander flaw in his rule: he could potentially have an equal adversary. Finding the mage could mean the end of Silas's rule.   

As the veil weakens, more portals have begun to form, joining Earth and Veras once more. These portals must be closed by the Guardians.

The Guardians...


There are five guardians of earth, each being chosen by the leader of the last generation. Four of the guardians are equipped with control over four different elements: water, fire, earth, and air. The fifth, the chosen leader, is given the responsibility of guarding the Heart of Aeridith, which is used to transform the five into their guardian forms, giving them their full range of powers. Without the Heart to transform them, the guardians have the bare minimal use of their elemental powers. 

In their guardian form, the five are given fairy-like wings to fly with, enhanced durability, strength, and reflexes. The newest Guardians to be chosen must be young and strong, as they have quite the journey ahead of them. They will range between the ages of 17-20. 

The goal of the guardians is to keep the veil between realms intact, and to help the rebels overthrow Silas so that the magic can be returned to Veras. With the magic restored, the veil will be secured. While the realms may never be able to join in peace ever again, Vera could at least hope to begin to prosper once more.

 Before anyone asks, this RP is based off of the old cartoon series, W.I.T.C.H.. No knowledge of the show/comics is required, however. 

 None of the citizens of Veras can use magic directly. However, they can wield enchanted or magic objects. These things will be pretty rare.
