Phantas Background
Long ago the world was steeped in magic, it was everywhere in every thing. A young man named Zeral was walking in the woods one night, and came across a strange crystal. Pretty drab in appearance, he just put it in his pocket and walked on. Upon examining it at home, he came upon a wonderous discovery, you can store energy in it! So naturally he goes looking for more so he can tell the world about it (and make a couple Kel while he was at it). Soon his find became the talk of Santos. The crystal was used for everything from vehicles to appliances. And then the changes began to occur...
Zeral wanted to make sure everyone had power (or so he thought) so he built seven magnificent towers of the crystal, called Zerache, one each for the elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Holy, Shadow, and Cosmos. These towers in fact started leeching the magic that was so prevalent in the world. Santos began to lose its luster and gradually fell into waste. Something MUST be done about this!!!
Thus a group of average people planned rebellion. A couple farmers, a Tentari smith, and a few scientists, were those people. They then started gathering able-bodied people to plan an attack on the towers, believing that if they were destroyed, Santos would go back to normal. Scores of people joined the Saguire, united under a banner that comprised of a medium blue field with a golden-yellow border, with an octahedral Zerache crystal containing 3 black claw marks on it in the center. Through the efforts of the Saguire, the towers of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth were destroyed. The crystal towers exploded in a brilliant nova of energy. Santos was theirs again!
Or so they thought. During their siege on the towers, the towers of Holy, Shadow, and Cosmos disappeared along with most of Zeragul's (the Corrupted) forces. Whereabouts unknown.
After the end of the Zerache War, may people had terrible, vivid nightmares. One would expect it after such traumatic events. But they felt a bit too...real. Soon people's memories began to become corrupted or even disappear, (in fact most never even realized it was happening). Many began to disbelieve the Zerache War even happened, thus the Saguire became labeled as raving lunatics, and had to operate in secret from then on.
But the good news was that the sun came back to a semblance of its former glory, if a little bit dimmer, the seas just a bit less calm, and the flora and fauna began flourishing. Except for one thing: some creatures, and people, were completely corrupted by Zeragul's magic and the sudden restoration of energy, and began attacking people and pets. The world is no longer safe.
**Beginning of Game**
Twenty-two years have passed since those events, and Santos is getting back on its sore feet, slowly but surely. Garak's father, like he is, was a smith. Yes THAT smith. Garak supplies weapons for the local city of Gent, where his friend Sikhil lives. She is a gifted alchemist for the Saguire. One fine day, while Garak was training an apprentice, a merchant knocked on his door, asking for his latest shipment of goods. He then gives Garak a sealed letter, the seal is blue with a diamond and three strikes through it: the Saguire! You are then thrust into the story of Phantas...
