In the year 2012, a mysterious illness began to sweep the globe. In its wake, those who survived it were left with immensely powerful supernatural abilities.
As the number of people capable of wielding magic powers increased, they began to organize and seize control of the course of history. Using their powers to travel between parallel universes, these mages forge empires of a scale never before seen. And at the center of it all is the Academy, a neutral institution founded for mages to share their knowledge with each other.
Mages struggle against each other to impose their will upon the multiverse, but there is one threat that unites them all together. In recent months, mysterious entities have appeared. These entities wield power far greater than any one mage, and they seem determined to annihilate all of humanity. The mages will have to set aside their differences in order to beat them. The fate of the multiverse depends on it.
For hundreds of years, the Elementals have lived here on Elemental Island in peace away from any human interference. In fact as far as humans know they don't even exist. They left the island only when their jobs required it. Ice Splinters leaving to bring forth winter, and keep the frozen tundras frozen. The Water Spirits keeping the rivers, lakes, and oceans healthy and even creating new pools of water. Plant Ladies coming out in the spring to awaken trees, flowers, and other plant life. Wind Lords bringing forth gentle breezes or fierce tornados throughout the year along with the Weather Women who call forth storms of all shape and form. The Star King calling out the moon and stars at night, while his wife the Sun Queen calls the sun to awaken in the morning and lulls it to sleep in the evening. While all these elements work to make the human lives bearable there is one group who rarely ever get to leave the island. The Magma Guards who protect the Elemental island from intruders and only the strongest leave to awaken the volcanoes.
