The World
The world of Tama was gone for a long time and no one knew where it was or why. At least for a long time, today we know that two great bursts of magic were responsible. The first was the magical outbreak caused by the Masters of the Four Elements, which occurred due to the overuse of magic. Thus, the balance of this world was shaken and the entrances to other dimensions closed and Tama disappeared for a long time. Many saved themselves to other worlds before the portals closed. The second outbreak was when Dark Hanzo broke free and released a huge amount of magic explosively. This caused the world to be flooded with magic and the entrances to other worlds were reactivated. The various lineages gradually come back to the world of Tama, thinking they can explore a new world, but actually this world needs to be saved. Some answer the call for help, while others try to take advantage of the chaos.
