Spirit of the Kings

In the times of the ancients, people were unruly and murderous. The Moon wept with sadness at the violence and hatred people had for one another. As the Moon’s tears fell upon the lands, seven animal spirits manifested. These spirits began to seek out the most righteous soul from each land. The seven chosen souls became one with their animal spirit and became kings over their people. They were forever protected and enlightened by their animal spirit which the people called ＂Shama.＂ Each of these original Shama were known as: The Spirit of the KingsAs the world became peaceful again, the Moon blessed all future newborns with their own Shama as a reward for the end of violence.Generations of peace followed, however, the people would, naturally, turn to violence once again. A great war erupted between the lands. All seven spirit of the kings were lost. They were now merely a memory: a legend.Noble families were elected to rule the lands in the absence of the true heirs. For generations, these families ruled the lands, however, rumors reached the queen of Azira that one of the sacred animals was seen heading towards the small colony of Canary Glenn. After many years, the true heir of the land would be born within a colony of peasants. This was an event that the royal family would prevent at any cost.
