Centuries ago, an boy by the name of Zhixin was born in what is now the
Han empire. Through means unknown, Zhixin ended up in the far
West, where he lived his early years. He took on (or was given)
the western name Nobiz, and soon became a great mage. As he grew
older, he returned to our fair valleys to learn of his ancestry.
He embraced the culture of your ancestors and studied deeply the
philosophies of our land. Similarly, local scholars learned much
from Nobiz of Western thought and philosophy.
One of the concepts Nobiz brought with him was that the world is built
from four elements: Air, Water, Fire, Earth. In fact, Nobiz had
spent much of his existance studying the elements. He believed
that if all four could be brought together into a single object, that
object would contain great power. But, despite his brilliance and
perseverance, he was unable to piece together the puzzle.
Many were swayed by his teachings of the four elements until a young
seamstress, by the name of Mun-Hee, engaged the mage in what began as a
casual debate. She had heard the teachings of Nobiz, but found
them unconvincing. After a discussion that supposedly lasted 6
days, Mun-Hee helped Nobiz developed a new elemental theory - the one
we know today to be fact.
The world is composed of five basic elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Metal,
Earth. With this new revelation, Nobiz again sought to master all
elements. He was already quite aged, and therefore pushed himself
hard to find answers. Somehow, he forged the first, and to date
only, Staff of the Elements. It was indeed a wonderous item, but
it lacked the all-encompassing power Nobiz sought. Unsatisfied,
the mage worked harder to find the answers. He left to the north
and never returned.
Unlike most artifacts, it is thought that every true soul contains
within it the ability to forge this wonderous item. Should an
evil soul attempt to master the staff, however, it will be corrupted by
the power of the staff and wither away.
