On paper, everything seemed clear and obvious.

At least, for those who had taken the time to look into the problem.

Before the Chaos War, Esperia seemed at first glance to be at the height of its art. The use of magic had allowed the five elements to develop in a spectacular way, and had pushed the tensions between them into the background.
