Threa is the name of the world where they are.
Back when there was still no human civilization, Threa was a beautiful, peaceful, and lustrous world.
The world was without any pollution. Just a beautiful world where living organisms coexist harmoniously.
Life was peaceful and with beautiful greenery. Animals enjoy their natural habitat without humans' destructive interventions and mere existence.
Nature was beautiful and lustrous beyond explanation.
Magical creatures were even an existence back then. Fairies, dragons, unicorns, Pegasus, mermaids, Griffins, Bunyips, and so on, existed. But as time passed, they disappeared and became extinct.
1,000 years later, with the occurrence of human civilization, everything changed.
Due to humans' survival instinct and greedy nature, the ecosystem eventually started to lose its beauty. Animals' natural habitat was destroyed to accommodate the human way of life, and even the animals themselves were killed to use their skins as clothing and protection from the extreme heat and cold.
As the years passed, greed prevailed, and lands were conquered by these so-called humans as if the Threa was their playground to play and their wasteland to litter their garbage.
Threa was then separated into 8 continents, namely Arethrea, Nonthrea, Soethrea, Erethrea, Asethrea, Afelthrea, Usethrea, and Lesthrea.
These continents were known for their different and distinct elements that nurtured their land.
Arethrea was known for its ice elements. It was barely livable due to its cold climate. Ice empowered the whole continent. This continent's condition did not pique the other continents' interest, so they didn't really bother with it. But once the ice started to melt, it was a great sign that the Threa was about to end.
Nonthrea was known for its rock element. Rocks are fundamental to the structure and functioning of Threa. The rock element also had a crucial role in the ecological system. This continent was encompassed by rock elements protecting it from all sorts of danger and making it the richest continent in Threa, since they are the leading provider of gemstones all over the world.
Soethrea was known for its vines since they had the plant element. This continent was encompassed by vines, not just protecting the whole continent but also the source of its people's livelihood. They are the source of the finest wine in the world.
Erethrea was known for its water element. This continent was also known for its bodies of water. Their sea were rich and abundant with sea creatures and seafood. Their beaches were especially the best in the whole Threa. They are the second richest continent.
Asethrea was known for its fire element. Their continent is deeply involved in the production of armory, maximizing the use of fire. This continent was also the leading provider of weapons all over the world. They believe in the existence of Dragons and that they are the descendants of dragons.
Afelthrea was known for its sand element, but despite this, people live happily due to the abundance of oases in it. Sand and wind directly correlate and empower this continent. This continent was also known for its aircraft. They made the best aircraft ever made.
Usethrea was known for its zootic element. It is the only continent that was not completely civilized by humans. Humans and animals harmoniously coexist on this continent. Animals can freely roam around the continent without restrictions or dangers. People treat these animals as their pals.
Lesthrea has a little of those elements mentioned above. This continent has no definite element that protects and nurtures it; thus, the other continents treat this continent as their wasteland. It is also the smallest and poorest continent in the whole of Threa.
The continents seemed to be perfect as they are, but the leaders of the countries from different continents had endless greed.
They are not content with what they already have, so they plan and plan on how to conquer one another.
There's a total of 100 countries all over Threa's continents. Most of those countries are experiencing war, poverty, and famine due to greedy and corrupt leaders.
Innocent Civilians are the ones suffering, and their future is dim with no idea of how to even pass the present day.
Currently, it is fortunate that no one knows of the other significance of the said elements, or else the greedy would reach a new level of greediness, and the world would really come to an end.
