First came Water, then Fire, next Air, and finally Earth. Every one hundred years, the Iliad Rose blooms, and the first mortal hand to touch it becomes the hand of God as they get to choose which element the humans of the world will have domain over next. We are two thousand years into this cycle, and with the four nations establishing themselves four sub elements each, the world hangs in a delicate balance, making the next rose bloom so much more important. We are six weeks away from the next bloom date, and every nation prepares its armies.
