You were an operative for Anberlin Calloway's defense law firm: muscle or brains to make the operation move like an exotic dancer. This was in a lofty office building. This was in the grand capital city, Lemuria. This was on the blessed continent of Mu, the shining united republic in the sea.
This is not your story. Flash time to now, when the Calloway Law Firm has been...dissolved. You are afraid, for something wicked is awakening; and your group of former comrades are scattered across the calamity-stricken capital. What hope is there for the sinking city of Lemuria? What hope is there for you?
Our story begins as she contacts you with a new job: a mission--save Lemuria.
o.1 your aether
There are three channels of Aether: Black, Red, and White. You are attuned to one of these channels.
o.1i black aether
Black Aether may be channeled through swords, knives, scythes, and machinery.
♦ Black Swords will evoke The Dark Knight, a greatsword-wielding soul sapper who may use his own aether to drain the life from his victim.
♦ Black Knives will evoke the Mesmer, who may manipulate the mind of her foe with illusions to allow for deadly melee attacks.
♦ Black Scythes invoke the soul of the Necromancer, who commands the dead and the departed souls to do her bidding.
♦ Black Machinery will evoke the Apothecary, whose concoctions and tonics enfeeble and bolster enemies and allies.
o.1ii red aether
Red Aether may be channeled through swords, knives, staves, machinery, as well as cesti.
♦ Red Swords evoke the soul of the Berserker, who is a dual-wielding swordsman whose power relies on taking damage and dealing it to keep himself alive through adrenaline.
♦ Red Knives evoke the soul of the Vagrant, who is a nimble and masterful bladedancer. This master at arms is hard to hit and hits hard, so caution is advised.
♦ Red Staves evoke the soul of the Summoner, a powerful mage who wields elemental magics to eliminate and bind her foes.
♦ Red Machinery evokes the soul of the Machinist, a gadgeteer who is masterful with gunworks and bombing. The Machinist should not be considered one-trick, however, as his gadgets are quick to turn to artillery.
♦ Red Cesti evoke the soul of the Monk, a melee healer who gathers energy to assuage injuries through attacking enemies. They are masters of the energies within the chakra, and at great heights may awaken hidden potential in allies.
o.1iii white aether
White Aether may be channeled through swords, staves, and cesti.
♦ White Swords evoke the soul of the Templar, a shining knight who wil defend her allies and aid the injured in combat through the flow of White Aether. Wields a sword and shield.
♦ White Staves evoke the soul of the Astrologian, who wields White Aether for her allies and against her foes to control the hands of fate. Predominantly skilled in the healing arts, the Astrologian is alternatively known as the Medium for her ability to predict strategem through arcanum.
♦ White Cesti evoke the soul of the druid, a master shapeshifter who is at one with nature. There is no doubt that her power stems from the wild itself, and there are boundless speculations on the confines of her abilities to shapeshift into fauna.
o.2 your body, mind, and spirit (and livelihood)
Anberlin Calloway's legal team consisted of no more than six members. You were one of those six. That was your life. This is your file. Perhaps you have read it, or perhaps you have not. After all, she has made notes on you over the years. Maybe it would be best not to allow the calamity to water-damage this, however it is you feel.

This is your file to be given with your severance pay. As stated in my missive, you hold my regrets for your sudden unemployment; however, I will not bear shame for upholding my law firm. Perhaps we will meet again if the need arises. I believe I would enjoy that.
