Enlightened

The Enlightened are said to be descendents of the great hero who pacified the gods and saved the human race hundreds of years ago. This is now known to be less than precisely accurate, as Enlightened outside of Union have been discovered in recent days. In Caldera, they are termed Earthkin; in Citadel, the Windblessed, and in Sanctuary, the Magi.

The Enlightened appear to be a link between man and Pokémon, as they possess elemental typings and manifest strange abilities with maturation, utilizing powers normally thought to be unique to Pokémon. Each Enlightened also possesses a specialization that defines their talents, ranging from a greater command of tactical strategy to heightened skill in breeding.

The full list of Enlightened abilities and gameplay mechanics can be found on the Enlightened page. However, there are a number of particular abilities introduced to the game that are unique to certain regions. Child of the Verdant Forest is native to Union, Child of Unyielding Steel to Caldera, Child of the Howling Gale to Citadel, and Child of the Shifting Earth to Refuge. Additionally, a Shifter is a special type of Enlightened that can transform between human and Pokémon at will.
