Lore of the games: Theories of AQ, AQW, and DF · 8:53pm Jan 16th, 2014
(note: all is speculation and guess work based on data received)
The goddess Lorithia, the Creator of Lore has the main god of the realm. Below her are the 8 elemental lords that rule the 8 different elemental realms. Now it is possible that the war between eight elemental lords is because that Lorithia left the universe for unknown reasons and the lord are fighting each other to replace her as chief god of the Lore Universe.
Now to fully affect the mortal world the elements lords made there champions. The champions are the ultimate masters of the element they represent and are know as the most legendry warriors ever.
However after an event involving an alien threat to the universe(possibly chaos corruption), the lords created with dragon magic the Prime Elemental Orbs, left behind by the elemental lords as small pieces of their own power to add against the threat.
Mostly im posting this to just remember it later for a story.
