Here is the background of the setting.....
It is said that in ancient times our world, Elysium, was nothing more than a great ball of water....
Then came the Divines. Two ancient beings who blessed our realm with their presence. These Divines saw potential in Elysium, and so they spent many days contemplating what should be done with it. Eventually, they came up with the idea of birthing life into the world. So, they created the being known today as Efrit, the Great Wolf Aeon. This Aeon took the form of a black and white wolf whose fur scraped at the clouds themselves, and who's howl rippled the oceans of the world wide. It breathed black fire across the ocean, and it left behind in its wake a piece of earth. Land formed, and a single massive continent was born. It then walked across this land, and with each step of its white paws, it left behind the gift of life. Plants and animals grew and developed, and eventually the first intelligent beings rose from the womb of nature herself; these beings were known as the Elves. The Aeon returned to the Divines, satisfied with its own work.
The elves were a gentle, and noble race. Their culture so refined and their ways so developed, they soon grew more intelligent than the Divines once predicted. They learned the use of the same energies utilized by the Divines and their Aeon, and named this essence 'Magika.' Using it, they were able to commune with nature and beasts, create objects from elements in a matter of seconds, and develop their intelligence at a far greater rate. In time the Elves grew prideful; arrogant, even. They used the mud of the earth and bones of the beasts to create a new sort of species that they called 'Human.' These humans closely resembled the elves, although they were much less refined and less capable in the world of Magika. The Elves found themselves to be omnipotent, using the humans as slaves and servants. They claimed themselves to be just as capable of creation as the Divines themselves.
One of the two Divines was amused by this; knowing that she was far more powerful than they would be, she allowed them their ignorance. The other, however, was not amused at all. He found the Elves to be disgusting and ungrateful, and decided to teach them just how powerful he was. This divine gave birth to the Great Wyvern Aeon, who bore no name. This Aeon descended in a blazing hellfire that swept across the forests and plains of the great continent, burning all who suffered its fury alive. Those who submitted their will to the Wyvern became horrible twisted versions of themselves, mutilated and deformed, known today as Lych. They joined the Wyvern in slaughtering those they once loved, and the conquest rampaged until nearly all the Elves were entirely destroyed.
The second Divine was appalled at the destruction of her beautiful creations; and so descended the Great Wolf Aeon once more. The two Aeon's met in a terrible clash that shook the mountains and cracked the earth, dividing the great continent into three smaller kingdoms. The battle seemed to go on forever, until finally, the Divines intervened. They brokered a bargain; that they would seal their Aeons away in unique amulets. These amulets would be given to two different races, and two different bloodlines would carry them down for a thousand years. After that thousand years had passed, the amulets would activate, and imbue their descendants with the powers of the Aeons themselves.
The Divines agreed; and so the Divine War was ended. The Elves who remained were so distraught they had caused such terrible damage to the world they so cherished, that they claimed the ultimate sacrifice. They went to the farthest kingdom, and sung to the trees and nature until their very bodies became trees as well. So came to be the Dead Forest, and the kingdom on which it rested, Elderass (El-deh-ra-ss.)
The Elves have not been seen since. The humans who remained began to rebuild on their own kingdom, Calrune, and prospered into their own powerful nation. Some of the humans had mated with the Elves before their disappearance, and gave birth to a new species, the Fae. Not as capable in magic as the Elves, they were still much more capable than the humans. Humans enslaved the Fae that remained on Calrune, and the rest fled to Elderass, where the trees of their dead ancestors protect them viciously.
Lastly, is the kingdom of TerraLych. No man or Fae has set foot on the island and returned to tell of it. A great Leviathan circles the outskirts of the island, and devours any ship foolish enough to approach. The sun never shines on this island, and sailors who have ventured close enough to see but far enough to remain alive claim to have seen vicious and horrible creatures that stalk its murky shores.
Our tale begins in Calrune, the Kingdom of Man, in the region of Goldwood, village of Amber.....
