The world of Arcadia has several moons, which somehow keep geostationary orbits over certain lands of the planet. These Moons are magical in nature, and hold power over the elements:
Green - Nature
Red - Fire
Purple - Ice
Blue - Wind and Water
Yellow - Lightning
Silver - Life and Death
Periodically, rocks from the moons will fall to earth as meteorites. These rocks are known as Moonstones, and hold a portion of the Moon's power. These Moonstones are the cornerstones of the many cultures of the world, and are used to make weapons and armor, as fuel, to utilize Magic, and sometimes even to prepare some foods. Moonstones can be refined into Moon Crystals, which give off immense power. Only the ancient civilizations the once dominated the world had the skill to refine Moonstones that finely.
There is said to be a seventh Black Moon, which is supposed to hold the powers of reversal or negativity. The only evidence of a Black Moon is a massive Black Moonstone, and an island that floats upside down over the Dark Rift. If the Black Moon exists, it most likely hangs over the center of the Dark Rift.
The world once had six great civilizations, with a high level of technology. The civilizations warred with each other, eventually creating massively destructive mecha known as the Gigas. The Gigas battled, wiping out many lives, until the Rains of Destruction, where the six moons, seemingly disgusted by the actions of the people below, destroyed the ancient civilizations in a massive hail of giant moonstones.
