In a world where -nope not starting it off with that. This is your basic, cookie cutter world with your average fantasy yet dystopian-esque place with themes of steampunk & sci-fi. You got your handy dandy humans that somehow are more advanced than other races. On the other side of the ring you got the totally original elves that totally are original with their despising interbreeding & races not being in their designated continents due to their very traditional & spiritual mindset. Next up, we got the generic Unicorns that narcissistically involve themselves in other races affairs by translating both recipients languages via their magical horn. Then we got the 4 mighty spirits that each are sworn to protect their designated conti- alright you get the point, not that special. What does make the unoriginal world meager is the chaos surrounding it. Added to Eco who knows how long ago, something had arrived in Eco which shouldn't have. Something that could bloom or doom the world. Here here, that something is a set of 100 powers randomly given to any 100 vessels within any of the years in a 100 year time period. This vessel selection is completely unbiased, unpredictable, uncontrollable, unbelievable. Some view this as a monstrosity, a catalyst for the world's destruction. Others view this as a happy accident, a blessing from some divine being. No matter who you are - human, elf, giant, goliath, mermaid, yeti, unicorn, manticore, even the supposedly unbiased spirits- you have or will pick a side: for times are changing.
