Prologue

Before time began, before rivers carved the valleys and mountains touched the skies, there was only the will of the Divine. From that will, four mighty creations were born to walk the earth.

The Giants—colossal beings whose strength could shake the foundations of the world itself, their footsteps echoing like thunder across the lands.

The Dwarfs—masters of mimicry, able to take on the forms of beasts and creatures they had seen, moving unseen among the shadows.

The Jinn—spirits born of the elements, with powers of fire, water, earth, and wind flowing through their veins.

And Humans—frail in body but sharp in mind, blessed with intelligence to adapt, create, and endure.

For a time, these four peoples lived in harmony. Kingdoms rose and civilizations flourished under the watchful eyes of the Divine.

But as ages passed, greed and hatred crept into hearts once pure. The fragile peace shattered.

Wars raged—cruel and merciless—tearing apart lands and families.

The Divine, unwilling to directly interfere in mortal affairs, sent prophets to guide the peoples back to unity and peace.

But even their words fell on deaf ears.

So the Divine set a test—an unseen trial to determine which people were worthy to remain upon the earth.

When the test was complete, only the humans were declared chosen.

The others faded into myth, their powers and histories lost to time.

Centuries passed.

Faith was forgotten, banned, made a crime under watchful eyes.

The Faith Prohibition Authorities hunted believers, silencing all whispers of the Divine with ruthless precision.

Yet in the shadows, hope endured.

But what if the lost tribes were not truly gone?

What if their powers still linger, waiting to be awakened?

Who decides who is worthy?

And what if the test was only the beginning?

In a world that forbids belief, can faith survive?

And when the forgotten light returns, will it bring salvation—or destruction?
