Protect Flickerwood Forest

Four legendary Flame Spirits have been awakened and have each claimed a biome within Flickerwood Forest as their own, setting fire to their respective regions to stake their claim. If someone doesn’t put a stop to the inferno soon, it will continue to spread through the Forest and across the land until the Spirits' hunger for ash is sated. 

Enter the Mystics, highly skilled mages who work under the Magical Beast Corps to research and protect magical regions like the Flickerwood Forest. Their newest mission--and by extension, yours--is to enter the Forest, defeat the four Spirits and extinguish all of the flames they encounter along the way.

The Mystics

Mystics are some of the most highly accomplished mages in the world, and are employed by the Magical Beast Corps. Each one has mastered their own type of elemental magic (fire, water, air, and earth), giving each one unique strengths for tackling the mission into Flickerwood Forest.
