Air...

Fire...

Water...

Nature...

These four elements make up everything. They take many forms, but it always comes back down to those four. Each tribe alligned itself with an element, and learned its secrets.

Nearly every Lagre in aligning themselves to an element becomes weak to another, in exchange for power over another.

Without Air, Fire cannot burn.

Fire controls what form Water must take.

Nature cannot grow without Water.

Nature is the only way Air can be renewed.

Lagre science, technology, culture... it's all about seeking an understanding of this cycle.

The cycle of four elements dominated what tribe was currently in power, but also ensured no tribe would hurt another. Why would they?

After all, the Tribe you could hold power over was allied with the Tribe that could hold power over you. Harm done now would be repaid in the next cycle.

Felishon's Grand Temple would change alignment every 10 years, bringing the next element to rise, and that Tribe would hold power.

In ten years, their enemy would hold power, so there was never any incentive to hurt. The Lagre worked together for the common good, although they all had different beliefs of how it should be done.

At least, that's how we thought it would always work.
