Meridian (Tetra)

A version of earth called Meridian, on which our story takes place. This earth is ruled by a class/caste system. Almost everyone of lower class is named for their profession. Higher classes like Royals, Dukes, and Lords have original, chosen names which they go by. As do royals such as Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses. Kings and Queens and members of the royal family not only have original names, but otherworldly powers which is why they are exalted in this society. There are people who do not agree with this system and seek reform. Across the world and continents there have been hundreds of revolts, but only one has ever been successful. That was 60 years ago in the country of Arum. The royal family was ousted and exiled. But their heritage, their celestial blood and abilities remained unchanged and potent. Eventually, they merged back into society, and, through marriage, their names were changed and their history forgotten by all but them. Formerly known as the Arums, for which their country was named, the Shepherds birthed many a powerful offspring in secret, but none were so special amongst even the celestials as a boy named Virgil. And even he would pale in comparison to his progeny, a talented pyro-kinetic named Callida. This is the story of her and her friends and their journey to find themselves and ultimately save the world.
