The Origins of Present-Day Blood Arts Users

This Story begins at the dawn or creation for humankind at around 892 CA whenever Humans and many other species were created and scattered across all four continents of Tealon. The First of these continents was called "As terras escuras" roughly translating to "The Dark Lands" This will be the continent in which this bloodline trait originated. The Second of the continents was called "As terras da Vida" translating to "The Lands of Life" this continent is what you all know as present-day Tealon. The third of the continents was called "Terras Atlas" or "Terras Ceo" Translated as "Highlands" or "Sky Lands." The fourth and last of the continents was called "Terras de Variedade" roughly translated to "Lands of Variety." The Continent that is now referred to as The Dark Lands is known to those who originate from it as "The Old World." What is now known as The Dark Land wasn't always cursed with its eternal corrupting darkness. In the beginning, before any curses had graced this land it was filled with life that flourished from the great mountains to the ocean shores. This curse would ensue after the first sealing of The Gol’ Dorass causing darkness to spread after the course of several hundred years. Though let us get back on track here. This land was inhabited by a people that referred to themselves as “Wielders.” This group of people were separated into four great tribes that would develop at a pace that wouldn’t surpass that of the bronze age as they relied more on magic than anything during the time of thier development. These great tribes all encompassed one of the four basic elemental powers as well as two spirits each which were beings created out of the pure mana of The Elders. The First Tribe had the power of Water Manipulation which would lead to the secret art of Blood Manipulation, Their two spirits were The Storm Spirit Tempest and The Light Spirit Hela. The Second Tribe had The Power of Earth Manipulation which would lead to the development of Metal Manipulation as well as Metal Detection, Their two spirits were The Quake Spirit Cratos and The Darkness Spirit Malos. The Third of these tribes possesed Flame Manipulation that would lead to Plasma Manipulation right before the great fall of the continent, Their two spirits were The Hellflame Spirit Roxy and The Curse Spirit Leon. The Fourth and final tribe had the power of Wind Manipulation that would lead to Breathing Forms and Air Removal Manipulation, their spirits were The Air Vortex Spirit Zephyr and The Anti-Gravity Spirit Deios. Each of these tribes would distribute the power of  the spirits by giving the natural elemental spirits to the head family that had control over their tribe. The unnatural spirit would go to that who was determined to be the strongest Wielder in each of the tribes through whatever trials the specified tribe preferred. It was also possible in some cases for the leader of the village to possess both spirits at one time through passing the trials for the strongest tribe member.

These Spirits were something that had come from the experimentation of the Elders. They were to be powerful beings that could shapeshift into six different forms three of which were that of animals, the fourth and fifth being more humanoid forms to blend into crowds. The spirits stated are those of the main spirits as there are many different spirits. The Greater spirits are the one’s above in the previous entry as well as others that were not stated here. Lesser spirits are those who have just become spirits, but are spirits of lower-class basically being specified to certain areas to protect said things like “rocks” or something else that’s very minor or specific. The last in the classing being Pseudo Spirits, this is basically the state that a spirit is in before becoming a full-fledged spirit. That said, let us return to the main subject of this. That being the origins of “The Elemental Wielders.” The Water Tribe was the most Honorable of the four tribes having taught all of their warriors the way of their ancestors most of them were all of the same power level only once every generation was there one who stood out from the rest gaining the Light Spirit by their side. The Leader being a calm and collected person who always seemed to know what to do in dire times of need. The Earth Tribe had thirty different families that all played their part in the tribe daily the strongest of which being in a family of the Honor guard for the Tribe’s Leader which had the power of the Darkness Spirit by his side. The Tribe Leader Being a very carefree man who knew what was best for his tribe at any time. The Fire tribe being the tribe with the most powerful of people out of all of the tribes. Their strongest was that of a young man that had depended on his wits as well as brute force his entire life to get him the power of the Curse Spirit by his side. The leader of this tribe was a very interesting personality to have around as she was very obnoxious but knew when she needed to give the order when her tribe needed it most. Lastly the Air Tribe they were known to be very secretive and poor as they were the least developed of the four tribes but when it came to power it had lied within the mind as they determined the strongest in their village through tactical situations and whoever ended up on top would end up getting the Anti-Gravity Spirit by their side. The leader of this Village was a man who didn’t often come out of his home as he was old and was prone to getting sick, but if it ever came to it the man would die for his village if need be. These were the Seventh Generation of each village by this time in the year 8000 CA. The Water Tribe was on it’s 4th Leader, The Earth Tribe on it’s 5th Leader, The Fire Tribe on it’s 6th Leader, and the Air Tribe on its 2nd Leader. All of the Tribes leaders from each tribe came from the prior tribe leader as each village has a family that are the matriarchs of the tribes.

However once the first year of The Flaming Age had arrived this place of once true natural mana would slowly start to fade from the highest point of the continent, that being a mountain in the northwest area. This was the Era in which Gol’Dorass had been sealed away causing a reaction that would spark in the mountains of the continent that would spread a curse of darkness across the land. This would happen for hundreds of years causing the boundaries between each of the clans to eventually merge into two different clans (In 201 FA), and then only five years after that form into one clan (In 206 FA). There was only a portion of the land that was left that wasn’t tainted by the darkness that was spreading by the day. This caused all of the clans to eventually merge due to the land becoming uninhabitable more and more daily.

The more that this continent would become barren of the life it once carried. The more worried the people that inhabited the remaining habitable area of the continent of darkness. There was a group that was about half of the size of the combined population that would set off on a journey across the world in search for a new place to call their home (In 210 FA). These people would leave in balance as the strongest of the four clans would split themselves into these two groups so that the primary group the one that was going to remain on the continent wouldn't go into shambles after the secondary group would leave. After the secondary group would leave the primary group would last barely another decade before fleeing the continent leaving several minor families as well as the leader of the water district (In 221 FA). The secondary group that had left almost a decade before the primary group had, and would set up a community in what is now the modern-day Wilds of The Underneath. They would happily greet the members of the group that had been left behind on the godforsaken continent that they wished that they would have left sooner. This community would flourish in the shadows of the kingdoms that were being established just north of them, and slowly but surely as it was bound to happen the most eager of the community those who originated from the Air district would venture out into the unofficial world of establishing countries they would scatter across all of modern-day Larin, Oracle, Alemere, Crescentia, and Dawnfall (In 240-255 FA). This would then lead to the world acknowledging the existence of civilization under the early establishing countries. Fire would then branch out from the community and would leave behind most of their own culture to join the early state of what is now modern-day Drafera (In 250 FA). This would leave the Earth to its own devices in The Wilds of The Underneath, a place of flourishing plant life and herbal longevity to those who believed in those sorts of things.

This would be the story that would be passed down through generations of those who originated from “The Old World.”
