Story
Telara is the focal point of the elemental planes: Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Life and Death - and a point where each of these planes intersects with the other. Each plane is ruled by a dragon deity, an embodiment of the respective elemental force. Through the actions of the Dragon of Extinction, Regulos, the various dragons have formed an alliance known as the Bloodstorm to invade Telara and use the intersection of all their realms. In the past, the Bloodstorm was defeated by the inhabitants of Telara with the help of the Vigil, the most powerful of the native gods. Regulos was banished to the Elemental Plains, while his five comrades-in-arms were imprisoned in Telara and chained beneath a protective wall meant to shield Telara from outside threats. However, Regulos had recently gained access to Telara, destroying the protective wall and causing rifts that fed the power of the trapped dragons, allowing them to enter Telara to destroy Telara's defenders. Players take on the role of Ascended, reawakened superhuman warriors tasked with defeating the forces of Regulos and freeing Telara forever from the threat of the storm.
