Four Forces

The Four Forces of Awesome Land, also known as the Four Elements, are the four magical essences that enable life to exist on Awesome Land. After many attempts to create a creature that lived longer than 4 seconds, Seraphina and Delmerith realized that the planet and the creatures needed some sort of power to sustain themselves. Thus, the duo created the Four Forces, otherwise known as Fire, Water, Earth and Air, to protect all of their creatures. Fire provided warmth, Water provided sustenance and protection from Fire, Earth provided shelter and Air gave them...breathing abilities. To this day, the Four Forces still allow the people of the planet to live (Leon still needs to drink water, doesn't he?). If at any time the Four Forces were removed from the planet, the lifespan of each creature would be reduced tremendously and all life would be extinguished. The Four Forces are able to be conjured via Magic, the Orbs of Nature physical means, but only if the essence of that force still resides in the planet. If, for whatever reason, the PFG decided to take the Orb of Fire and remove the fire essence from the planet, then no matter how much you yelled a fire spell or rubbed two sticks together, fire would not appear.
