Background
Far from Pyrrhia and other continents lies Osia, a large landmass split by different bodies of water and divided up among seven tribes. From vast deserts and mountains that touch the sky, it all seems like a peaceful and perfect place. However, the tribes don’t always get along and threats are always lurking around the corner. They squabble and fight with each other but for the most part, they have been at peace. However, there is a storm brewing on the horizon. One that may spell the end of all the tribes should they fail to find those chosen to be the champions of each tribe.
