~Elementalism~
The practice which follows that everything in the world was crafted by the Elemental Titans long before life thrived on the planet. Generally followed by those of the Dwarven Empire it is major influence within their lands and is treated as such.
~History~
Long before the world was as it is now there existed only four beings, each one held their own power over an element; they came to be known as The Titans. Fire, Water, Air and Earth, yet harmony was not found between the these elements. Since the dawn of time The Titian's faced one another in the depths of the universe, fighting among each other for total domination over the others. Often at times one would best another and soak in the satisfaction that came with victory only for another titian to strike victory from its hands and interlock in a millennium long battle for control. In the early times its was chaos, oceans floated gently across the cosmos, with lava belts that would fill the sky, yet nothing flourished, nothing lived but chaos.
The battles between The Titans lasted for eon upon eon with no stop in sight until in one single moment they stopped fighting to witness something they had never before, a world. A single chunk of Earth, coated in bodies of water, white streaks which dotted the sky and flames that tore through the ground. It was new, never before had the four elements come together in unison, but there before them floated the fragile little world through the emptiness of space. The sight moved The Titian's, through their violent actions something beautiful had been created and even on the world they witnessed the children, their off spring, a small chunk of themselves battling against one another.
No peace was brokered between the Titans but for once they stopped their warfare, letting it pass down through their off spring, for this world, this infant of all four would show them the way; there was harmony, at least between The Titans. With fresh warriors to continue the fight The Titans chose to rest, finding a place they could call home they fell into a deep sleep to one day awaken to witness the results of their children's battle.
No one is sure where this story originated, but it is thought to come from Ancient Dwarfs who lived deep within the world, saying that if one listened they could hear the world tell its tale.
