  ## Overview
  
  Every twenty-five years, those with magical talents, called adepts, compete for a position within The Blending, a group of five adepts who rule the land. Tamrissa (the Fire adept), Lorand (the Earth adept), Jovvi (Spirit), Clarion (the Air), and Vallant (the Water) combine into The Blending, but another group of adepts attempt to usurp the position for themselves.
