– Creatures living throughout the world of Hayde. They are not hostile monsters nor are they humans nor giants. ** People call these creatures the Pupa. Although it is unclear as to where they come from or how they came to be, there is one legend that is passed on. Along, long time ago, a wise drago” “Arche” abandoned his emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure,” in this world in order to enter the divine realm. These emotions, now scattered throughout the world and has morphed into a variety of creatures. These are said to be the various Pupa found in Hayde. Depending on their type. Pupae may employ special abilities. In certain conditions, they may also petrify their own bodies into magical gems called ‘Panta’ that contain special properties. While most are jovial and do not harm humans, one comes across ferocious ones at times.

Despite the fact that they are wild, they sometimes enter in to a master-servant relationship with humans and serve their human masters.

What are the Four Elements?

– In the world of Hayde, there are four elements: fire, water, wind, and earth. These elements form the very foundation of all that is in the world and of magic itself. An ordinary creature is affected equally by all four elements, and this balance means that the creature does not take on the power of any one particular element. However, magic taps into the power of a particular element, hence the affinity to one type of element which renders it ineffective against an enemy of the same 4 elemental property.

A creature that was either created by magic or imbued with magic takes on its elemental property.
These creatures resist a portion of the damage inflicted by weapons or magic with the same elemental property. Thus, proper weapons and spells must be used after the elemental property of the enemy has been observed.

In other cases, people of Hayde World sometimes imbue their weapons and armor certain elemental powers to use them in combat against monsters. The relationship between the elements is encapsulated in the following saying: “Earth captures the flow of water”, “Water extinguishes fire”, “Fire consumes wind”, and “Wind cuts earth”.
