Vakan and Gholna, powerful djaradin elders, are each a master over their respective element. Gholna, with lava, and Vakan, with shadow flame, are locked in constant conflict over who is stronger. Each elder attempts to outdo the other through devastation and chaos until one is crowned victor.

Lava Geysers at
random player destinations that erupt and continually inflict Fire damage
to several players. At full energy, Vakan unleashes
