Story

Weyard was a prosperous world in which Psynergy was used to advance civilization. Psynergy comes from the 4 elements that make the cornerstones of the world: earth, fire, water and wind. Those who could wield psynergy were called Adepts, and for centuries they lived in peace and harmony. However, little by little humans started to abuse their powers and the ancients saw the necessity of sealing the powers of Psynergy to stop the imminent wars and destruction. Four lighthouses were erected in different continents of Weyard, each one to seal one of the powers of nature and the keys to ignite them again, the Elemental Stars, were hidden deep withing Sol Sanctum. For centuries the study of Psynergy became limited to a few.

3 years after a disastrous night that took the lives of Isaac's father and Jenna's parents and older brother, the peaceful community of Vale, at the skirts of Mount Aleph, seems disturbed. Isaac, Jenna, Garet and the scholar Kraden enter the Sol Sanctum to investigate and stumble upon the Elemental Stars. That's the moment in which another group of Adepts appear and take the Elemental Stars, and Jenna and Kraden with them. Isaac and Garet are left inside the volcano but are saved by The Wise One, the protector of the Elemental Stars that warns them that if the lighthouses are lit again disaster will fall upon Weyard, and it is their duty to stop it.
