The Guild of Mirrors

It is a process, my apprentice. Heat, cooling... the sands.... the glass must be clear, the tools, sharp. I wish to study every eyelash, every pore of my face.

Bravely, they trundled into the desert. The sand salvagers journeyed with a Guard, and were lead by the site Warden. As they approached the site, they squinted, shielding their eyes from the lazy Damselflies and Scarabs fluttering in the gritty breeze. The Warden told them to be respectful, and not dig in the dunes too close the the palace, or the Pharaoh would be angry. He told them not to dig too close to the pyramids, where Mummies were still known to rest. Watching closely for Scorpions, they set up camp, and waited patiently for the Glasses to fill.

It starts by plunging the Flaming Sword deep into the kiln, and embers immediately come to life. The Master Glazier slowly introduces more blades to the smelt, using magic to animate the dancing flames. Small creatures who like to feed on the flickering embers are attracted to the blaze, and the Glazier simply flicks them into the inferno, further raising the heat. A brave man. Once the sands are molded into liquid glass, he gives it with care to the Shaper.

First, and most importantly, the molten glass is purified. Then, with great focus, the Shaper extracts every spec of dust and grit from the smelt, until nothing but perfection is left. Now he must hurry, his process going into overdrive. The pane is rapidly cooling and congealing, but he succeeds in using great force to stretch and weigh down areas of the glass, until, just before it becomes to brittle to shape, we have a perfect pane of glass.

Four wise scholars in the movement and secrets of light sit at each corner of the pane. They carefully bounce rays of light at high intensity over the back surface of the pane, and when it has been warmed by the intense rays, they pour an iridescent, refined glazing essence over the surface. It spreads itself over the glass, and once cooled, forms a reflective surface so pure, that every detail of whatever is in front of it can be seen in minute detail. A new, perfect work of art has been created.

Just another day in the Elemental Guild of Mirrors.

Trebuchet

Using a massive dragon as counterweight, the Trebuchet can launch 90kg Titans over 300 Meters. With such a massive range it is the first weapon in the graviton army to deal damage during any battle. The Graviton Salvagers maintain and arm the trebuchet, also they gather more projectiles for it after battle.

The young soldiers, while a bit weaker due to their (at this point) incomplete training, are highly energetic. An elite armagio teaches them how to defend themselves, while the elite charger shows them how offense is the best defense. The Graviton Guard makes sure they find the right balance for themselves between the two styles.

This is where the criminals and prisoners of war too dangerous to be kept alive are disposed of. Otyughs and Vultures patiently wait to free the skeleton of yet another victim of its flesh and skin.

These elite guards protect gravity's greatest treasure (a piece of its very essence) with their life. All of them are ready to shield it with their bodies and to terminate any threat to it they will go past their limits.

Magdalena, The Immortal Seer

Spoiler for Hidden:

The World of Elements was once run by the great council, each Element had the opportunity to put forth a new candidate from their land every year, though many served for decades. None, however, could match the term of Magdalena, who served the council for many thousands of years. Born with the powers to see through time, she was the only being outside the Time Elementals to ever become a seer, and her combined knowledge over Time and Dimensions played a key part in holding the council strong through the land's most difficult crises and wars.

Over time, many elements became unhappy with the system of equal representation. Greedy leaders turned the people against the council, pushing for power for their themselves, and many devastating conflicts arose, tearing continents apart, and costing the lives of many. In an attempt to keep the council safe, Magdalena passed on the secrets to Aether's immortality to other members, the most forbidden act amongst her people. Many council members were executed, to prevent this knowledge being spread any further, few escaping and becoming reclusive. Magdalena herself was immune to such a fate, Aether had little advantage in the war, and could not afford rebellion within the element. She was taken captive, unable to speak to outsiders, and became the figurehead to new leadership.

Seeing long ago that she would one day have no abiity to communicate in the present, she left echoes of herself across time and space, for those who would require her aid in desperate times, and her ghost reunited the surviving council members. With the secrets of Aether in their hands, they created a small force, dedicated solely to the removal of Aether's dictators, and the creation of a new council.

Grzecszkreijche, the Legendary Druid

Spoiler for Hidden:

As a young man, he spent most of his time healing wounded elementals on the front lines of battle fields. He later joined the council, as age caught up with him, and he was no longer fit enough for such a task, and moved onto the invention and distribution of herbal medicine. After the fall of the council, he started dabbling in more dangerous medicines and experiments. He collected the bodies of fallen elementals, repurposing them as mutants, hardened for the battle field with many dangerous abilities. Magdalena vowed to exile him from the council, when the war was over, judging his actions as serious war crimes.

The Poisoned Dagger

Spoiler for Hidden:

An untraceable man, none are sure he even really exists. Once the council representative of darkness, he now serves as Magdalena's right hand man, passing on the messages of her ghost, and involving himself with the assassination of many of Aether's toughest leaders. Little more is known about his activities.

The Living Nightmare

Spoiler for Hidden:

Tall, dark, and not your dream date. Don't ask what it is, we don't know either, it doesn't like being asked. Grzecszkreijche's most deadly experiment. It's rumoured if you look at it too long, your brain will rot when you next sleep.
