I know these games, there were two. Both made by the same person, nobstudio, called Book of mages: The chaotic period, and Book of mages: The dark times, hope this is it!

I remember this online game (maybe a flash?) from about a year or so ago. It was somewhat similar to Adventure Quest, but it was completely free and not as expansive. The art was 2d. I think my character was a brown-haired guy?
You played a character that could choose a clan that had elemental themes (Ice, Blood, Fire, Lightning, Wind, Water, and Earth), each with their own strengths and weaknesses. There was also this semi-plot about three political factions - one that wore white, one that might have worn grey, (the ones in white were these sort of Crystal Dragon Jesus-y imperialists and the ones in grey or black or whatever it was opposed the ones in white and had a very the Revolution Will Not Be Civilised feel to it. They hated each other), and one that wore green (maybe red) (aka Team Switzerland). Whatever faction you chose, you had to fight NP Cs for some reason or other. There were a few choices that you could make during the game. For example, I think I remember having to make the choice of killing this one NPC guy affiliated with water (all the clans had specific places associated with them. I visited them all. They all have a list of their elemental spells and a book with a list of all the players who had been in their particular clan.) that I was battling. I know that he allied with my cause when I let him free.
The fights were turn-based and usually against other players (you had to press a "Fight" button to volunteer). I remember that at the end of the game, you had to prove yourself worthy of being the leader of...something...and so you battled all the top NP Cs of each clan until they accepted defeat. Once you did that, you won the game (after a brief epilogue of sorts)
Ugh, this sounds so generic. Sorry. If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
