Masters of the Elements

The Masters of the Elements are eight people who are able to control one of the eight Elements each. Those eight Elements are: Air, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Plant, Sand, Stone and Water. One can only be the Master of one Element. One becomes a Master by touching one of the eight Element Weapons that does not have a user. If a Master dies, his/her Weapon drops next to him and the next person touching it becomes the next Master of this Element. But a Master can also give up on being a Master. In that case, the Weapon disappears and appears somewhere randomly on Vanthen. Most Masters who are about to die in a fight give up on being a Master so that the Weapon disppears because they do not want their murderers to become a Master.
