Gems of Life

## Overview

The gems of life are the almighty and omniscient force controlling the universe. They originally were the children of Magic, until they became stronger than their parent and became the omniscient rulers who ruled together with Magic and made Magic accessible to the people of Senos.

There are five gems of life: The fire gem, the water gem, the earth gem, the air gem and the neutral gem. Each one of them also represents a planet in the solar system of Age.

They are currently located in the roots of the tree of life where they are hidden and unreachable to elementals and humans. The tree of life is located on the island of life.

## Associated People

Associated people are their messengers, the twins and the selesoas. All of them are servants to the gems of life in one way or another: The messengers are elementals who are assigned with the task of telling the people what the gems of life expect them to do, to warn them of certain things etc. The twins' purpose is to keep the balance of good and evil in the world. The selesoas are in many ways similar to the messengers, they are supposed to tell people what to do and not to do, warn them of things etc. The main difference is that the selesoas are beautiful, young, intelligent and talented creatures with wings who also have one other task besides playing messenger: they are supposed to make as many elementals as possible fall in love with them and make them go back to their roots when it comes to reproduction, thus creating new selesoas. Many of them fall in love with elementals and are then allowed to stay on Senos.

## Human Manifestation

On rare occasions, the gems of life are required to announce things to humans themselves and on those rare occasions, the gems of life have human manifestations.
