==== Harnessing the Elements ====
Two hundred years after the founding of Breoa, a great discovery was made in the capital. Druid figured out how to draw out elementals from the [[Prime Ring]]. These elemental spirits could then be housed and have their power used to create many new inventions. This relationship is symbiotic. The elementals in captivity have means to use and grow their power while the people harnessing the elements can perform feats of magic that have not been seen since the times of [[Caerwyn]].

Mostly, the Breoans have used these elementrix (originally called element tricks, before moving to element trix, and eventually the two words combined into elementrix) on their ships. With a sufficient number of elementrix, a ship can fly a few feet over the ground for short periods, submerge itself underwater with a bubble of air, shoot streams of fire from special cannons, or even summon small patches of earth for a ship to anchor to in the night. A Breoan ship with elementrix is easily the most advanced ship sailing around the continent of Ramesh (apart from Astral Sailers).

Many have tried to learn the secret of the elementrix. However, [[Brekendahl]] has woven a powerful spell around the knowledge behind the elementrix. No person of Breoan birth can have the secret of the elementrix leave their mouth or mind. Only through a special ritual conducted by a Saint or [[Brekendahl]] himself can the secret of the elementrix be spread.

Once a group from the Ard Magos attempted a spell to allow them to bypass the curse. Nearly 400 dead Ard Magos later, one dead Saint, and an enraged Brekendahl, the Ard Magos swore to never attempt such a ritual again. Now they even openly advise against trying to learn the secret. This has not stopped many would-be scholars from trying to seek the truth. However, only morticians and graverobbers have benefited from these efforts.
