Aralyon

Aralyon is the name of a collection of lands that made up a High Empire, whose figureheads simply vanished 500 years ago. The High Empire actually had dominion over smaller Empires on separate continents, 7 of them, each continent being ruled heavily by one of each of the seven elements; fire, nature, water, air, ice, aether, and void. The planet Nuon is separated from Earth by fluctuating portals, a few of which can be stumbled upon fairly easily, sending people from either world to the other in one quick swoop. When a prophecy sweeps across the land for all holy leaders to hear and spread the word, fear of the Darkness prophesied spikes, and some brave souls attempt to understand what it all means, and in some circles, some attempt to make certain the Darkness comes to pass. One of the Emperors rile things up by preaching ideals about a new world order for the greater good, possibly bringing to pass a reformed High Empire, and underlying motives muddy the waters even more.
