Background
Lianothin was born on the continent of Tirucius, and wordswordswords. During the time of his birth, the entire world was preoccupied with discovering anything related to magecraft after the first four had discovered their powers. Since the appearance of mages happened not so long before, no one knew how to become one or even how to tell the elements apart. While most of Lianothin's childhood was uneventful, he eventually began discovering his own powers as a mage. The news travelled fast to the four elementals, and before long he was brought to them as a student. At the time it was believed his own powers matched what was known of the earth element. After Laekai's disappearance from the world, he was named her replacement and worked with the other three elementals. At the time the work mostly involved learning more about magecraft, but there was also the task of governing a small town that had grown around their base.

Within the town, Lianothin found a young female mage known as Faiyus alongside the male mage Zinra who had taken to looking after her. They had arrived with the intention of becoming students, and had rented rooms within a local inn until they could be taught. At first he just enjoyed their company, coming down to the inn most nights in order to speak to them and teach them anything he could get away with in a busy inn common room. Though the more he visited them, the more he realised he had feelings for Faiyus. Eventually he got the two of them in a position to be properly taught by all the elementals, and from then on started a small fling with Faiyus in secret. As things got more serious between them, Faiyus began to speak to him about whether he was truly happy with what he had. Should he settle for looking after a small town with three others? Or should he aim for something bigger? He surely was born to be a single leader, without anyone else to have to please. He took her suggestions seriously, with each one he began feeling more certain he should be more important than he already is. He relayed her suggestions to Zinra for approval, and quickly obtained it. With his ego severely inflated, he asked the two of them to pack whatever was important and leave with him.

Over the next few years, Lianothin began experimenting with using magic to serve his purposes. He found out ways to disguise himself as someone else, and to influence people to support him. He soon started using them to get small villages under his rule, and eventually managed to get numerous people willing to fight for him. He then began taking towns and cities by force, using sieges and battles to get their existing leaders to surrender to him. He also used his powers to intimidate some of the tribes that lived in the outskirts of the land he had obtained, to gain their men to his cause. With the more land he obtained, the greater his own opinions of himself grew. He also began to be more open about his relationship, to the extent of flaunting his status with her in public. Though the more land he took, the more people openly defied him and the harder it became to obtain new land. Lianothin began to get frustrated that no one else saw his rightful claim to their land. His own ego and success so far had made it impossible for him to accept any other view. In order to compensate, he began asserting his dominance over those already under him. He would openly punish previous rulers for any little thing he disagreed with, as well as sleeping with any woman he deemed worthy of himself. He persevered with his goals though, and slowly managed to get more cities to bend the knee. He also began a mass genocide effort against the draconic species of the world. Within his efforts, he killed of numerous 'kin tribes and forced others into hiding, and made the entire dragon species extinct. (I don't actually know the reason for this, at the moment he just doesn't like them).

Though his efforts did not go unnoticed. The remaining three elementals began hearing words of a mage conducting war against anywhere that would not bend the knee to him. Seeing any other mage as their responsibility, they began to retaliate against Lianothin without knowing it was him. The war between them spanned numerous years, each side forever attempting to conquer more land to obtain the numbers they needed to beat the opposition alongside numerous battles being fought between the two sides. Eventually the elementals had realised that beating their opponent's armies was not possible and they needed to take the one behind it all down instead. Stuff happens I have run out of brainpower to do this bit. At one point Li needs to learn exactly what element he is, because I haven't got that bit yet and he needs to tell everyone because EGO. Also there is the matter of a few spells too.

Eventually the three elementals managed to form a plan to keep Lianothin out of the way until a more permanent solution was found. They began working on modifying the commands that created the body altering spells and began weaving a spell to totally change Lianothin's form. The set a trap with the weaves on a previous dragon habitat in the side of a mountain. The three of them challenged Lianothin at this location, in hope he would trigger the trap. Feeling rather confident in his abilities compared to what he remembered of his challengers' abilities, Lianothin accepts their challenge. With the three elementals working together, they manage to force Lianothin into the cave mouth where the last commands to their trap were spoken. With the trap sprung, Lianothin's body began the dramatic change into the form they had chosen for his punishment. Lianothin realised what they were doing, and attempted to deflect their trap only to find his connection to the source of magic cut. When the spell had finished changing Lianothin's form, he stood towering above the elementals as a full grown dragon. While their choice of animal repulsed him, Lianothin felt they had missed out a rather important detail. He could easily tear them all apart where he stood. He lunged to do so, only to find a barrier keeping him bound within the cave. For as long as the spell lasted, and for as long as each elemental stood outside the cave mouth there was nothing more he could do. He was forced to accept defeat until he was eventually let out.
