trials of Eight

[RexDarkheart]

So after watching both Hobbit movies I kind of got inspired to created a kind of fantasy world story but I'm not sure if my idea will work and wanted to know if it's a good idea or if I should just scrap it.

here's what I have so far:
Our world of spitfire was not always so prosperous; in fact it was once covered in a veil of darkness. The dark priestess Lady Hydra held the world in the palm of her hand and filled it with her minions of darkness: The Phantoms. These hooded creatures held tremendous powers and seemed immortal to the weapons of all five races: Humans, Pig Latins (Pig like creatures that stand on their back two legs with large tusks and have metal gauntlet that are fused into their front hooves), Angelics (Winged humanoids), Skinwalkers (Half human half animal that are able to transform into a single animal), and Aquarians (Fish like humanoids).

It seemed all was lost until eight sorcerers appeared to challenge Lady Hydra. These eight sorcerers used an ancient magic called Rune. The strange magic seemed to terrify The Phantoms and when struck by one of their spells. The Phantoms disintegrated into ashes and soon Lady Hydra felt the sorcerers creep closer to her door step. Lady hydra in a last ditch effort released a wicked magic to suck the souls of everyone on the planet. The sorcerers where unaffected because of their magic but many of the races suffered tremendous loses. The sorcerers knew that they had to end her tyranny once and for all.

The eight created barriers to protect the races from the evil mist she had created. In doing so the sorcerers started to feel the effects of the mist. The eight summoned one massive amount of their energy and cast one last spell. The planet shock as the massive continent split into five massive continents: Lunar crescent, Chrono, Crystarial, Sentinel, and The Forbidden Plain. In doing so the eight sealed away Lady Hydra from the world in The Forbidden Plain. They created a barrier around The Forbidden Plain to keep anyone with vindictive agendas from awakening Lady Hydra. In the memory of the eight sorcerers, each continent was given two cities representing each sorcerer. Lunar crescent: City of Gears, City of Dust. Chrono: City of Stone, City of Gold. Crystarial: City of Frost, City of Crystal. Sentinel: City of Flames, City of Chrome.

Because of each continent being separated by the last spell of the sorcerers, the races where divided. The Skinwalkers lived in Crystarial and lived in the large Crystal forest of the land. The Angelics lived on Lunar Crescent, creating what is now helping all the races keep in contact with one another and prompt trade: The Air Ship. Pig Latins live on Chrono and use the mountain of black flames as the source for making diamonds, gold, coal and other resources the world uses. Humans live on Sentinel and try to maintain peace with all the races. The Aquarians continued to live under the sea and continue to stay out of the affairs of the surface dwellers.

Even though peace has covered our world, evil still seems to be lingering in the shadows. Many have claimed to have seen dark figures gilding low to the ground and each one seems to be heading towards the same area: The Forbidden Plain. Each race now gathers their greatest fighters to undertake the task of gaining information about the dark figures and why they all seem to be drawn to The Forbidden Plain. However, what they will find on their travel will change out world as we know it.
