The kingdom of Finlesc Union was at war. The earth kingdom had isolated itself from the rest of the union, which led to the rebellion of the fire kingdom, and the conflict escalated over the next few generations, picking up new threads and revolving around the same beliefs.
You were a traveler exploring Finlesc Union. You were born during the war, unlike the kings who were blessed with longevity. You had no money for a house, so you wandered around the continent from a young age. You didn't even know which kingdom you belonged to. Fire? Water? Light? Earth? Air? You had no idea of your roots, nor did anyone ever guess.
During one of the cold nights on the border of the water kingdom, the guards found you. You were dragged to the jail, where you spent a few months. As it happened, on the day you were released, there was a parade going through town. And at its head was the king, cheerfully announcing that the water people had conquered new lands.
However, when his supernatural eyes turned towards you...he froze.
"It's a man from the shadow kingdom!" He roared. Everyone looked at you. A...Shadow? This place dissapeares YEARS ago!
