The Galaxy of Enthera is systems similar to what the Milky-Way is but here what humans call myth or fairytale are real and breathing.
So far these are planets we know of and each has life on it.
Gaia:see post below.
Atys: see post below.

Gaia is what we a currently calling the world on which many races thrive and live. We use to the name Gaia because this world is paradise and clean of pollution and madness that Earth has. On this world creatures such as dinosaurs, fairies, dryad, and even the beloved unicorn live and flourish. I can't begin to list the creatures that reside on Enthera.
Demons too live in peace of this world, but before you panic you need to breathe. Demons on this world are kind and peaceful, such as Cat, Wolf, and Fox demons...If you have ever watched Inuyasha you know not all demons are bad. It's the same why here and I know several of the clans personally all of which are very kind.
On it reside four major races.
Elves Humans Dragons Dwarfs.
Elves are one of the few races that most legends got right when past down there the ages. Elves are tall, slim, and very elegant creatures of nature who's ears are point much like fairy folk. Blessed with the gift of immortality, Elves stay long young and retain these looks even when they decide it is time for their souls to rest in which they return to the Sky Kingdom until they are ready to be reborn. Most elves have outlived their own records so it is hard to say how old they can truly get before their soul tires...My guess is several thousand years.
There are four clans of elves, Ice, High (or wood depending on how they live), the Dark Elves, and Sun Elves.
Ice elves by there very name are blue and light purple skinned elves who reside in the cooler parts of Gaia. There main capital being the City of Nalith on continent of DragonTane. Ice elves are common to look like young teens with a grand height and knowledge of healing but don't let their looks fool you, they can wield a blade faster than you can draw it.
High elves are the ones most commonly seen in movies such as Lord of Rings and other fantasy films. They are cream skinned and reside among the woods where there towns are born from nature itself and glimmer with unsurpassed beauty. High elves are craft smiths of every caliber. They are known for their majestic clothing and styles that can easily deflect a sword.
How ever, unlike the Ice Elves who have Sages, the High Elves follow priestess and priest as their leaders, but just like their cousins their faith revolves around the movement of Gaia and the Willows, trees from which every town is built around.
Sun and Dark elves are the same to Ice Elves and High elves but they are fierce warriors who don't take danger to their kin or land any lighter than their cousins. Dark elves due to the dark climates in which they live are pale almost gray skinned with white and raven hair. Sun however is the opposite and a tan skinned and brightly colored in the hair. Remember, elves may be pretty but threaten them and you will be lucky to return home.
Humans are the same as the humans on Earth but less corrupt and more concerned about the planet. Sadly human nature is still in full affect and they have been known to have other rebel against the laws which protect Gaia and nearly destroy it!
Dragons:
Next to the Dryad, Dragons are considered Enthera protectors and for good reason. Dragons are a wise and ancient race of scaled wing creatures which have been able to harness the elements; many have even fused with it such as Cyber Dragons, Hydro, and metal. It is said the divine creator communes with these majestic creatures to protect that which created.
Mainly solitary, few dragons will speak or be allowed to be touched by other races unless they know you are pure of heart and are no threat to them or the world.
Dwarfs:
We have all seen "Snow White", so you pretty much know what a Dwarf is, but those who don't...Dwarfs are a short version of a human, but built like a rock. This race more or less resides to the mountains and underground caverns where they mine precious gems and ore for crafting and forging. They are extremely strict about who mines in their caverns and how much it taken. Once their take is done from a cavern, it is closed off so Gaia can heal and start the cycle anew.
More to come.....

This is a great idea, Wolf! And its about time we all learn of the world that you know so well.
I have seen my share of these mythological races as well. It would be a grand idea to allow the members of this guild to ask questions about certain mythological creatures and within reason too.
We certainly cannot have someone laughing behind someone's back, that's just mean.
A decent, reasonable question would be something like this:
1. Dinosaurs have been known to have gone extinct on the earth, are they residing in Enthera?
or
2. Is it because of the human race's war-like nature that some other animal races such as the dinosaurs had no choice but to settle into Enthera somewhere?
Personally, I want to know more about DragonTane Forest. I hear so much about it that I want to know more. Also, what exactly resides in the oceans of Gaia?
I hear that Andy hunts sharks and can still surface unscathed. Is there any particular reason as to why that may be?

It was more or less Dee's idea, but thank you.
This will probably several post long so what ever questions I miss are welcomed to be asked.
Andy, hehe, yeah he hunts sharked in Nalith's Grand Lake and from what I have seen the reason he can do and not get hurt is cause he is faster. It is kind of like a game of tag, Andy just moves faster and dodges like a master.
Normally the icy waters would kill a person but his saiyan blood makes him more resistant to the cold so the lake is like a giant pool for him to play in.

Saiyan blood? Andy doesn't have Saiyan Blood. He has had intercourse with a saiyan, but he doesn't retain that blood. He is, however, part wolf, so maybe its the wolf genes in him that keep him warm.
As for the tag thing, yeah, Andy can pretty much dodge anything. So, what else besides sharks are in Nalith's Grand Lake? Any mythological creatures?
You did say that there are regions where unicorns live, and that dragons are a major species, so...
Whenever I ask Dee, she can't get a single story straight about what she's seen. All I know is that there is an underwater city somewhere down there.

huh, I must be thinking of Raditz...Anyway his power is what keeps him alive.
The lake is home to a large underwater city that was created shortly after the Great War. The Lady of the Seas, Sen'Aqua saw a city under at lakes bottom would be better for the city them expanding into the forest.
The lake more or less is home to many fresh water fish, one being a species of the Lochness Monster. Some merfolk and creatures of lord do call the lake home but the the greater of beast reside to the seas.
This being no limited to leviathans and krakens dwell in the shadows of the ocean depths.
Unicorns call the forest which covers over 80% of DragonTane home. To name a few creatures who reside in the forest are centaurs, fairies, dryads, djinns/genies, dinosaurs, and golems.
One of the reasons I believe Dee has trouble is that she has been to parts of Enthera I have never even walk upon yet. There is literally so much on Enthera I have to write it down to remember it. I explain what I can.

Wow, so basically, she is like your exploration guide, huh?
I know that Will has told me a little bit recently when he came to my office for his routine check up. He told me that DragonTane forest has a Marshy Swamp, which is home to creatures such as common alligators and crocodiles, but those are just two of the swamp's inhabitants.
He also mentioned that there is a temple for a toll gate so to speak and those who have dark hearts cannot pass through it. They have no choice but to go around it.
Will told me that usually he will take his convenient tunnels that Andy, Iori, and Joe built for him to do most of his exploring. One place he told me about, or more like mentioned is a place called Prime Root.
Could you maybe enlighten me on Prime Root's background?

In a way, yes...
Yup, Temple of DragonTane is a like a toll booth on the main road that goes through the forest. A High Dryad name Thorn watches over it as well as other elves and fairy folk.
Prime Root eh? Hehe,
Prime Root:
Prime Root is a lower world beneath Atys. Will happens to have a tunnel below his castle that is connect to it. Prime Root is...Well, think of Earth and rip out man and everything it has ever done to it. What do you have left? Primal wilderness.
Prime Root is a cavern like world that has been buried by Atys constant growth. You see Atys is a planet that grows off it's own roots. Over time...Far last the our death, Atys will have buried its current surface in roots and make another layer of Prime Root. The only real light is from plants which have adapted to producing there own light source which sets the world a glow. Down here everything is so pure that once you step foot on it's lush grass you hair will stand on end.
The soil, plants, and even the wild and some times scary beast that reside down there are all pure as silk. It is a lot like the forest at night in the movie Avatar!
If you are good enough you can collect or harvest some of the material that grows down there, but only a little. Prime Root is filled with buried deadly gas pockets that will explode if you dig to much and creatures will come after you if you threaten their vegetation.

So, basically, what you are saying here, Wolf is that Prime Root is a private oasis where Atys basically starts and blooms from. In a word, Prime Root is the "core" of what Atys is.
That is neat!
Empress Dee termed Atys as being a land of separate seasons. So, what season is Prime Root mostly? I can picture Autumn, but I have never been there, so you are going to have to tell me.

Bingo, Aaron!
Prime Root was the very first surface of Atys. Prime Root doesn't really have a season per-say, it is kind of like it is stuck in eternal spring. Different areas do shift about with the seasons above them, like some areas will be more moist, other more barren, and so forth.
I can recall a trip to through there when winter was in full affect above us so the air was chilled and the animals, those who had fur anyway, had a winter coat, so yes. I can't say for sure what seasons it takes but if definitely affect by them.

Defiantly? Don't you mean definitely? Defiantly means that you are strongly against something whereas definitely means certain.
Tee hee hee, its a common grammar error.
I kind of thought so. I was actually thinking Prime Root was eternal fall, but then again, you made no mention of falling leaves and radiant colors. So, it had to be spring.
It would be cooler there then most of the time if no gases were affecting it.
Fryos has got to be the eternal summer. I had heard a lot about it. Mainly through watching roleplays in here.
A desert that is always hot. With that recent scene I have been watching on the tele, Dee has made Fryos to be somewhat like Egypt or the parallel version of Egypt.
I can picture the buildings easily. Mostly made of brick and glass. Some are made of the desert sands. The one landmark one can see that they know they are in Fryos as opposed to say Prime Root, is the volcano. Its huge!
Then Dee mentioned something about a land of historics and there is where it is nearly eternal winter. It snows there more than anywhere else in Atys. Plus, the buildings are all made of logs. Like cabins. She said that the "guardians" that look after it, look like native americans. Possibly Cree or Navajo. The one woman that Dee met reminded her of another lady Dee knew named Whisper.
Tan skinned, vivid war paint in reds, yellows, and bright blues. Feather head-dresses, hide clothing. Yeah, that pretty much describes the lady chieftain of that village. What is that village called?
It neighbors Fryos, but it is like "two states" away from Prime Root if I am imagining a straight road-like map. The one behind it would be eternal autumn.

Oppps, hehe thank you for catching my error.
*nods* Yup, Fryos got eternal summer and it very much like Egypt minus the pyramids that is. The capital of the desert land is a circular wall fort that is pretty much made out of rock and sand. It kind of builds on itself like a pyramid in a way, at the very top is the throne room and the main courtyard where most meetings take place.
Winter....Winter....It is either the Matis or the Zori. The Tryker have spring...Umm...Honestly I don't know for sure. The Matis are forest dwellers similar to elves in their ways of life and elegance. The Zori reside to the jungles and are masked shaman who surpass all of the other races in magic. If I had to guess I would say Whisper is a Zori.

You know what? That would make for a good contest! Naming the land of Eternal Winter in Atys! You get to choose the best name for it Wolf, and the one who chooses the best name gets a prize.
What do you think?

All right, so I guess we are going to have a contest? Well, better put it in the contest subforum.
In the meantime, why don't you enlighten us on the history of Fryos?
