House of the Elementals - Introduction

We were innocent once. The world we knew was not easy, but it was held within reasonable bounds. But our lineage lay beyond the mundane, part of an inheritance ill-known and given to few. Before us, in the worst time of their history, these words were commonly said:

Never cross a stranger
Be wary of your friends
Do not always trust your family
