After crating mankind and placing them on the Great Continent, the god of Life and Creation realized that if the elements which he created the world and its life of were to fall out of balance his creation would be ruined. To maintain balance he created seven immortal beings, lower gods with power over their element. While these beings could appear to be killed, they would simply become one with their element and be reborn from it in a place where that element is strong, or in their shrine, where the monks are sworn to secrecy as to our identities.
The seven elements, fire (heat), ice (cold), water, earth, lightning, light, and dark have dominion over any source of that element, including human powers which use them, though powerful uses of their abilities will drain them so that they must regenerate.
As the Immortals, we maintain the balance, and as such we cannot reveal ourselves to the mortals. Recently, however, the god of Death and Destruction has been speaking to us in our dreams. He offers to increase our power by increasing our element in nature. We don't know which of us have decided to follow him, but when they reveal themselves we must defeat them.
