Story

Hodan is an aging sage, hidden away in the mountains bordering the Ice Barrens in his own private hideaway. There, he practices Elementalism, where all elements come together peacefully. Zetterburn and Forsburn were both sent to him to train their combat skills and harness the elements, but the lessons of harmony were sadly forgotten. Still, Hodan fights with an ever-present grin and an aura of carefree spirit...or maybe it's just sweat.
