The Great War between the Four Great Kingdoms of Remnant took place nearly a century ago, but it still has a profound impact on the world today. From the calendar divider of BV/AV (Before/After the Vytal treaty) to the color-based naming tradition embraced by nearly everyone on the planet, every facet of Remnant's modern soci...

The art of merging Dust to create Fusion-Type Dust has been known for some time, and so far it has produced several types of Dust with varying functions, ranging from enhanced versions of an ingredient Dust type's ability, to reaching heights far beyond the limitations of the original two elements. But recently, the brilliant...

The International Order Of Pawns was founded in 1956 by Orrin Oscar Lutwidge, a man who began to suspect the existence of Rapture after unwittingly providing Andrew Ryan with the lion's share of constructing material to build it. Three years later, Lutwidge arrived at Rapture by himself, leaving the I.O.O.P. leaderless, and l...

The humans in the world of Remnant have always seen Dust as a gift from the Gods, a holy light used to slay the sons of darkness. Throughout its history, Dust has taken many forms, many powers, some of them beginning to stand in contrast with the common, pure view of Dust. The best example of this is Darkness Dust, which crea...

The magical ability of Dust is almost always associated with the elements, and is capable of generating substances from solid rock to burning fire. Dust is a magical material made to allow humanity to wield and control nature and its elements, the same purpose behind the Four Seasonal Maidens and other similar sources of magi...

Cold is one of the elements that, rather than being something of their own, is a lack of something else: heat. To humans and other animals, however, cold manifests as a phenomenon of its own, or for the more creative of the bunch, an element. One of the most ancient forms of Fusion-Type Dust was created for that reason, and t...

While the world of Remnant is comprised mostly of rock and metal, much of that rock and metal is not in a solid form, but a liquid. Most people are familiar with that liquid as the burning blood that comes out of volcanoes, and the name they give it is lava or magma. Only recently have humans been able to fuse the magical Dus...

Crystal Dust, while not very powerful on its own, is a key component in creating multiple other, exceptionally strong types of Dust. Glass Dust is a material in two different Dust Fusions; merging it with Fire Dust creates Obsidian Dust, and merging it with Metal Dust creates the exact opposite: Diamond Dust.

Glass, in its common state, is not quite powerful on its own. It has its strengths, but not often does it possess a place of honor in a huntsman or huntress' arsenal. However, Crystal Dust can be improved on in more than one way. Combining it with Flame Dust creates something that is often overlooked, but has immense power: O...

Like any good series, RWBY has a lot of things going on behind the scenes. There are feint, subtle hints given that there are things going on far beyond Salem and Ozpin, far beyond the Gods and Relics. Our current story is no different from the ones about Roman and Cinder in volume 1-3, and Foregone Fables emphasizes that.

The knowledge of magic and creating Dust has been long lost, though there are a few individuals who has kept the knowledge, and some who have re-discovered it.

Air is more important for the survival of a human than water is; a human person can survive for nearly a week without water, but not an hour without air.

The amount of earth in Remnant is far more abundant than air or water, let alone fire. The planet itself, from the crust to the core, composes of this material. Despite of, and maybe because of that, earth is not an element that is often paid attention, and its place in Remnant's cultures is rarely more than background.

Out of the countless "elements" that compose this world, water is without a doubt the one closest to humanity's heart. Humans, and most lifeforms on Remnant, can't live without water. A human's body consists of over two thirds water, and other animals possess similar percentages.
Of course, the most notable exception is...
