Earth supports, Air directs;
Water nourishes, Fire protects;
Spirit inspires, Light reveals:
Time measures, Shadow conceals;
Fracture marks the lines between;
Thus do all the Nine convene.
In Aven, elemental magic has shaped the nation as much as politics and war. The gods choose certain individuals for their blessings, which manifest in Aventan tradition as one of nine elements. Some mortals are only weakly blessed, with gifts manifesting as a particular talent, something that just makes their jobs or everyday lives easier. Some mortals have greater powers, flashier, with a greater ability to influence the world around them.
And some spare few have power enough to shake the foundations of their world.
