Act I

The four elements, Fire, Air, Water & Earth come together to form the planet, Lexa. The elements each create an Elder to lead their respective tribes, as well as a Champion. Both the Elder and the Champion have the ability to control their respective elements but they can't create the magic from nothing. The planet creates non-magical people as well as it's own champion, Abaddon. Abaddon can control all the elements. Because of this he thinks of himself as a god and sets out to rule the world. This starts the First Great War. After the defeat of Abaddon by the Protector. Magic is banned throughout the lands. This leads to the Magical tribes sealing themselves off from the non-magical people.

Technology is now the most powerful resource on the planet. Rufus of Scaya leads an industrial revolution which takes the country into a new frontier. From this the Great City of Spira is born and Rufus is named the new President of the country. Meanwhile on the other side of the world the country of Alben continues to live in the dark ages.
