)Story:
Spoiler
2000 Years ago a huge city covered nearly all of the world. It was a thriving city where everyone was happy. Scientists discovered something that could make life so much easier. Not that it wasn't easy already. The energy gave the people the ability to summon water, or fire out of thin air, control earth, and wind, as well as heal the injured instantly. This power was in limited supply, however. People began to get greedy, and keep this energy to themselves. It was stored in glass containers, and released for a brief moment when used. The greed was slowly weakening the energy, and the people eventually ran out. They blamed each other for this.
Then one day, the sky turned black. The city began to sink into the ground, taking most of the people with it. Some people made it out alive. The people began to restart their society. For hundreds of years, everything was fine. There wasn't even any trace of the city.
One day an unlimited supply of that energy was found. The energy, which the people began to call magic, had been passed down from generation to generation, through the peoples' souls, but lay dormant until then. Children now had the ability to use magic whenever they wanted. As the children aged, they learned to control their magic, and built schools to teach their children. Schools where the student were able to learn about the kind of magic they wanted to study.
The 3 types of magic are: Attack Magic, Healing Magic, and
Status Magic.
One particular 16 year old boy named *Bob starts his first day at a school in his hometown of Silverwood Village. His best friend, *Joe happens to be in his first class. Over the course of their first year at the school, they meet a girl named *Cathy, who becomes their friend eventually. Finally, at the end of the year, they take the Final Exam together, and pass. Not long after being informed of their achievement, the wooden training dummies, brought to life by magic, get out of control, and attempt to burn the school down. They all make it out alright, and the teachers use water spells to douse the flames. When they reach the village, they find that their entire home town is on fire! They find a way to escape the flames by jumping over a broken part of a fence. While escaping the flames, they get separated, and Bob falls unconscious. Bob wakes up in a house south of Silverwood Village, and meets an old man, who only says to call him Brian, and that he found Bob unconscious, but not the others. He directs Bob toward the village, and hands him a sword and shield as he sets off to find his friends.
after finding his friends, Bob, with the help of his friends, must save the world from an ancient, corrupted power formerly sleeping under the earth's crust.

Spoiler
Arcatis (City) - An ancient city that covered most of the world, but sank into the ground. Some people think there is still a way into it.
Arcatis (Country) - When Arcatis was first built, it was started in the center of the country that this game take place in. After Arcatis sank, the country was named after the city.
Silverwood Village - One of the first 2 villages built after Arcatis sank into the ground. The people's customs, and the look of the town have not changed in hundreds of years, because of the large number of magic users.
Silver Forest - A huge forest crawling with wolves anywhere there are no people. Many people believe the forest is hiding some kind of secret.
Mt. Ater - The tallest mountain in Arcatis. The peek can be seen from anywhere in the country. It is completely surrounded by Silver Forest on all sides.
Snow Lands - A huge field that has snow all year round. It covers the entire northern border of Arcatis.
Veneville - A small, newer village, North East of Silverwood. A powerfull wizard can often be found in the skill shop here.
Glaciville - A village in the middle of the snow fields. Not many people like living here, because of the weather, but some people love it.
Mt. Aestuo - Mt. Ater may be the tallest mountain, but Mt. Aestuo is, horizontally, the largest. Mt. Aestuo is a volcano bordering silver forest on two sides, and over looking the ocean, on the others.
Sabaku Desert - The only area, other than Sunaville that has japanese in it's name. all others are either pure english, or have latin roots. It is a small desert in the southern edge of Arcatis, and is halfway in the country of Kelless. There is a small town in the middle.
Sunaville - The village in the middle of Sabaku Desert. The people there believe that a god granted them the power to pull water out of thin air, allowing them to never go thirsty, even though it hasn't rained in that desert for over 100 years
Cursed Swamp - A large swamp that is like a maze. It is easy to get lost in it, and can sometimes turn people around, making them end up where they started. It is very hard to get to the other side.
Endless Wastelands - A huge desert on the opposite side of the country from Sabaku Desert. It's strange location defies logic, and it makes any journey across it seem twice as long. The Black Knight's HQ is somewhere in it. It is also the first landmark, on the "other side" of The Cursed Swamp.
Mare Maris - A busy city near the ocean, and the capital of Arcatis. The prestigious, Maris Academy, magic school is here, but despite it's reputation, it doesn't produce the best paladins, wizards, or clerics. Silverwood is the only school that can say that about all three magic types.
Underground Caverns - A huge network of underground caves, connecting the country. There is a legend, that there is a door to Arcatis, deep inside this labirynth.
