Welcome to Livorno, a small quiet village in northern England. As far as communities go, there isn’t much that sets it apart; there are those who dream to reach the stars, and those whose dreams look no further than tilling their land. As one would suspect of any town, it holds many different personalities and peculiarities. There is one thing that makes Livorno unique, however.

There are animals that hang around people, some call them Bonded, other call the inseparable; either way, almost everyone in Livorno has their own companion, and there are still more wandering Marisen, the area surrounding the village. These creatures aren’t your normal beasts however; these creatures have…well, powers.

Their elements, as it may be better to call them, set these animals apart from anything else that traverses this earth. These elements, ranging from ice to darkness, have created a unique culture in Livorno. They are used in the every day lives of most of the villagers, but some have decided to specialize in these creatures, taking jobs at training and even capturing them for sale. No matter how you look at it, these elementals have shaped this isolated land, and have become an integral part of life for the Livornians.

The isolation of this happy town is about to be shattered however. With explorers from the southern part of the continent happen upon Livorno and their elementals, what will happen? Will they steal these majestic creatures for study, or will they simply exterminate them in the name of protecting the world? And what of Livorno itself? How will these small town people deal with these new people who can’t seem to bond? All that is sure is that the future of Livorno looks bleak.
