Story: The chain of floating islands known as the Aurais is inhabited by a vast amount of strange and powerful lifeforms. These lifeforms have broken off into four separate clans; each one worshiping and harnessing each element. There is the humble tribe of Aquaria, the hardworking Earthiens, the fierce Pyromacs and the wise Aetheir. For many years the four clans have lived in peace and harmony, exchanging pieces of their elements (such as the abundant supply of precious jewels from the Earthiens and the plentiful harvests of fish from the Aquaria) with one another. But the resources of Aurais is limited, and soon wars break out between the clans as they struggle to salvage what remains of Aurais in a feeble attempt to save themselves. Aurais is no longer a peaceful land of gods, it is now a battlefield to a meaningless war.

Goal: You and your teammates are deployed to one of the four islands: water, earth, fire and air. Once you arrive you have a set amount of time to begin harvesting resources from your island to prepare you for battle. During your time limit, there will be a grace period where nobody is permitted to leave their island or to engage in combat with any other teams. Once the grace period is over, you are able to go in and loot the smaller islands in the center. You must eliminate the other teams in order to win.

Rules:
-You are not permitted to enter creative mode or to spawn in items
-During the grace period (which can range anywhere from 5-10 minutes) you are not permitted to engage in combat with other teams or leave your island. If you die during this phase you are permitted to return to your island
-Once the grace period ends you may not return to the battle, you may however spectate as long as you dont interfere
-The map is recommended to be played with an even amount of people.

Setup:
F=Fire Island W=Water Island A=Air Island E=Earth Island
2 players: F=1 W=1 or E=1 A=1
4 players: F=1 W=1 E=1 A=1
6 players: F=2 W=2 E=2 A=0 (no mans land)
8 players: F=2 W=2 E=2 A=2
