Thank you. Here's what we've come up with, and also what other sites have done:
The clan wars are a thing of a past. The clans themselves have grown. Some rose up to greatness, others have fallen. Clans have become so expansive now that they can no longer be mono-elemental - for Venus reaches Air's Rock, and Mercury claims Gaia Rock. The people of these locations, of course, are influenced by these very rocks, and the children born there tend to be the element of the rocks.
So what's happened? The clans have risen and become nations. Rather than being those of an element, they instead follow the ideals of an element.
Sol and Luna have fallen, overwhelmed by the might of the other clans. Their culture, however, lives on, and various aspects of their cultures have been absorbed into the others.
Venus values Leadership, Courage, and Heroism. They respect the aspect of the Body - Strength and Beauty.
Jupiter values Knowledge, Cunning, and Insight. They respect the aspect of the Mind - Logic and Reason.
Mars values Loyalty, Determination, and Honor. They respect the aspect of the Spirit - Passion and Spirituality.
Mercury values Empathy, Motivation, and Adventure. They respect the aspect of the Heart - Emotion and Bonds.
A lot of turmoil happened in the interim, but at this point in the clans, new leaders have taken the reigns, and the world is now at peace. The people are repairing the damage from the wars, recovering from the reign of the previous administrations, and trying to repair relations between the clans. It's a time of peace, but it's also a time of political tension, cautious diplomacy, and public distrust of those from other nations. However, things are slowly getting better...
Plus, who knows. Perhaps there's something on the horizon... something that may wind up making the four clans band together. They once fought one another... but soon, they might wind up fighting back to back, defending one another. These four clans, with the elements held to their very soul, will find that united they're stronger than they ever could have been alone...
