We like sandbox games. We are not interested in telling you a story. We are interested in you creating your own stories through gameplay, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have lore - lore that has published books about them and decades of development in them. Today, I want to share a little bit of the backstory for Elemental. Note: minor spoilers mentioned.

In the Beginning

There were the Mithrilar. These were extremely powerful guardians with no native shape or substance. Placed in the universe to oversee the creation and guarding of the Telananth, a massive crystalline structure with an unknown purpose.

However, there was a Mithrilar that came from somewhere else. Damaged and different, he had a native shape and substance, but he had no name and, at first, no memory. From him, the Mithrilar took on their own shapes and substances.

In the course of time and events, the Mithrilar, now branded as “Draginol”, meddled with the Telananth and was gravely wounded in a blast that embedded him deep in the world.

Unconscious and wounded, some of his essence seeped into the world, changing the evolutionary path of this world. This essence could be shaped and used by various types of beings.

This power attracted other beings to this world, known by the natives as “Titans”. This Cataclysm devasted the world killing nearly all life.

The cataclysm emptied the world of many of its people and animals. Many escaped and became exiles on other worlds. Those that remained were left with the relics of the Titans, including the Elemental shards (from which the world was ultimately named after) who had gathered the essence and locked it away. Great structures and monuments were built around these shards.

Some rare mortals, known as Channelers, could harnessthe power of these shards that contained the traces of lost essence of the Draginol Mithrilar. Different Channelers had different ambitions and intentions on using that power. Some sought conquest, some sought to heal the world, and Elemental: Reforged is their story. Your story to create through your decisions.

Elemental: Reforged is about the player being one of those rare Channelers and what they choose to do with that power.
