STORY
5000 years ago
there were 6 races werebeasts, dragons, vampires, mages, elves and feas
during this time mages were being exlploited and abused for their mage and knowledge, for a long time they just let it happen accepting it as fate, but little did they know that an insurgent was forming. so when the insurgant was formed they helped the other mages believe that they deserved to be treated better than they were, so they fought against their masters which then created a civil war between dragons and mages, were beasts thinking that they might get rewarded joined in, elves seeing themselves a kin to the mages also joined in on the mages side the vampires stayed neutral until their learned the horrible reason behind their citizens disappearance so they also joined in on the dragons side.
This war lasted so long that if nothing happened all races would die out either from lack of provisions or being killed. The feas saw that is quickly reaction doing the spell of forgetting, this spell is so powerful that it can only be done with the feas are in one accord in mind, meaning that they agree it must be done and body meaning they are all participating. so they did the spell taking away all the memories of the races so they will no longer have a reason to fight. all the these memories were put in a crypt that was locked with a special book that is called the book of ages, if this book were ever to be opened all those memories would come flooding back
however people not involved in the war saw this and massacred the whole race expect for a few who hid themselves
4000 years ago
someone has found the book, and opened it letting all those memories come back being with the book he died because of the force of power that came from the magic used to keep the memories hidden being broken.
now
it has been 1000 years since the book has been opened and people are still trying to figure out what to do it with it or even to believe it some people claim to have known this all along and kept quiet to keep the piece others are still in shock the rulers believing this created alliances with other races because of the memories

The weres and dragons used and abused the mages so bad that it started a war that would have destroyed the civilization as we know it. at first we, the vampires were neutral not wanting to get involved in matters that didn’t concern us that was until we learned that the mages that were actually humans turned vampires were experimenting on our kind to find a longevity potion. They had all the ingredients however the most important ingredient was never strong enough that was till they realized they weren’t using pure bred subjects So that is when they decided that their next target would be Annette, the crown princess, they believed that a Royal would give them enough potency to create the potion. so they used one of their best agents to seduce Annette, and it worked Annette fell in love with the agent, and trusted him because since she was not a mother she had did not have the ability read surface thoughts so she couldn’t have known that she was being deceived to the point where she would not listen to her mother this is what caused the period of time known as the michealis dark ages which occurred during her "teens". However they were not able to create the potion. Why? The Queen was smart, and made it so that no one who was present and knew what happened ever spoke of or about the michealis dark ages and all that occurred between the queen and her crown princess. During the dark ages, Azmerelda "tested" Annette’s love: during a fight Annette stripped Annette from her powers which made her mortal then left her to be with this so called love of hers. It turned out that her love was not love at all and as soon as she was not useful to them. She was killed. Fortunately, the potion they made did not work at all, because she was had no power. That is when the Queen made the decision to change their neutral status and join the dragons in their war with the mages. Why dragons, why not were beasts, well the vamps and dragons always had a close bond with each other due an alliance and it started with the dragon royalty and my ancestor. Our ancestors both gave the other race, a power to help them become what they are now to seal the alliance and make sure it was never broken. The Dragons gave the vampires improved strength, resistance, and endurance, as well flying, levitation and improved speed. The vampires gave the dragons power over the heart of the elements that is important because it is the heart that decides what element the dragon will have, now back to the story: Azmerelda did the unthinkable and infiltrated the mage’s encampment, knowing what would happen if she were ever to be caught. She then found her daughter and hummed a tune, which only her race and the dragons do; one dragon of noble blood came and carried them to safety. He brought a vitality potion, however it couldn’t give her back her vampiric lifespan, only that of a human. After that the Queen would have to work on her daughter to get back to her normal self, cuz it broke her heart seeing her daughter this way, insecure, and paranoid. However because of what she did, Annette fell from Vampire Royalty, to traitor (in secrecy), then to mortal, then back to vampire. Although Annette got her confidence back, she still has trust issues, which is why her mother is the only person she loves more than anything or anyone else. However the queen, couldn’t let her stay that way, she slowly pushed her way. Everything that could be fixed was fixed except her daughter’s frail heart. Every time, her mother leaves she breaks down. She no longer stays outside the palace but comes home before it turns dark; her mother rebuilt her confidence by telling her to live outside of the palace for a century. Unfortunately not even her mother knows how much this betrayal will shape Annette’s path, all she wants is her loving daughter back, but what she might end getting is a cold hearted daughter, who she can, only time will tell.
After the drift
The dark secret behind the mage's goal to create the potion of immortality could no longer be hidden by the royal family. From the nobles to the lowest vampires, panic erupted, especially on the larger and uneducated masses that conformed the lower class. Hatred, fear and vengeance flowed through the air, resulting in a unanimous vote to cut all ties with the mages, as well as slaughter of any mage who stepped foot in their kingdom as they saw the mages now as a whole and not a kingdom of individual mages.
This was bad overall, it was not justice, it was slaughtering of many innocent mages. But not matter what she tried she had to remember she couldn’t lose the people’s support. So she couldn’t deal too harshly with them so the ragging mob of vampires who wanted death to all Mage that stepped foot into their land could not be completely calmed , however since they could not tell from human or mage, they caused a huge shortage in their primary source of food. This was a hard time for the Royal family since their people’s blind rage was leading them to their extinction through starvation. A decision was needed immediately, since the chaos grew exponentially by the second. Until they reached the sacred rules. Mages were forever branded as traitors for both our sakes; they are forever banned from our lands. Humans, however are not, they are precious resource. Still how to tell from them apart? It is then when the Vampires decided to take families. Victims they've meticulously examined proving their non-existing link with magic. As a reward for the suffering they were put through investigation. The vampires granted them life, status; fill them with vanity and shine. After all, their lives were mortal. While vampires could wait.
In return for fortune and fame. They would pledge their loyalty as the vampire's resources and servants. A "pure bred of human" so to speak, untainted from the mage society. A meal they could trust. As such, this relationship led them slowly but surely to better practice and use of the human resource. Where they learned not to harm them and create a bond between Master and servant. Humans would provide hard work and food for their masters. And in exchange they would have fortune, protection and a better life than a regular human.

WARE BACKGROUNDS
The wares are a race based on Pride,Power, and Unity. They respected the dragon people because they held some of the same values. The mages used their magic to help the wolves better themselves. The Elves were prefect helpers to the kingdom. They Vampires had been friends with the wares for ages. Then the first drift happened.
The young prince was a gambler. He owed the most to the dragon people so much that a feud was started and the prince turned a feud into a war when he came King. The young Prince was so set on being King that he challenged his own father for the throne. He's father refused to give him the throne even after he had won so the Prince was setting in a plan to have the King assassinated. Before that plan could even happen the Prince married a young noble named Azela. Once his father saw that Azela would be good for him, he handed down the crown to the prince and Azela.
Then the wares started a abuse the help that the Elves offered. The Elves refused to be used so they cut all ties to the wares and pulled all their kind out of the land. Since then the Elves refuse to talk to or associate with the wares and have not forgiven them either.
The mages helped the wares by using spells to heal them, and make meds for them. Once the mages had practiced all their magic on the wares, they saw no use for them anymore. The wares also had no use for them either. They created all the meds and potions necessary for the wares to survive.
Once the vamps and wares fought for many years. They wares stopped trusting the vamps and vamps stopped trusting the wares because they was killing each other most were revenge killings. A decade ago, the two kings signed a peace treaty ending the war between the two races. They have been neutral, but do not speak.
As you can see the wares have not been friendly to anyone since the drift. That is way they are all lone, but they still stand as a kingdom no thanks to the Queen. She has tried to make peace with the races, but her husband was a very cruel man in his younger days. He has now grown up and she's trying to make it right. Will they ever make friends? Probably not.

Laws of Dragons 1) The strong will lead. Dragons respect power above all other things, minus perhaps wisdom.2) Dragon kind shall follow the decisions of it Matriarch and her court. Those of the greatest wisdom and strength must be followed, for they look beyond the obvious and seek to lead all along the best course.3a) Those of lesser standing hold the right to challenge those of higher standing shall they be able to prove weakness, cowardice, treason, or other flaws. Failure to respond turns the claims over to the Matriarch and the Elder Court for review. All dragons possess a sharp wit and great power, they can be expected to know when action is demanded and will police themselves.3b) When it comes to matters of territory and courtship any Dragon may set forth a challenge to any other. Failure to respond is forfeit (Lose your land or mate). Note that in matters or courtship the Mate of the challenged can interfere and if directed towards the Elder Court and challenge can even be dismissed should the Mate not wish a change in partners. (This is uncommon since females tend to always want to know who is the strongest.) Those with power must be willing to defend what is their from legal challenge.4) Dragon kind shall refrain from killing other dragons, with exception to death during the duels aforementioned in Law 3. In a race as long lived and powerful as dragons a slow rate of reproduction is not uncommon, since they hide their young it is hard for other races to know just how many dragons there are but true or not they safe guard their numbers from unnecessary loses.5) The knowledge kept in the Great Library is to remain there. Giving it to other races if forbidden. If knowledge is power then the dragons shall be the most powerful of them all.6) Any action taken in direct opposition to dragon kind is by definition treasonous and will not be tolerated. This includes challenging to overthrow the Elder Court or standing in direct conflict with the side the Elder Court has opted to support in a conflict. Unity is key to prosperity.7) Other moral crimes and disputes shall be brought to the attention of the Elder Court for settlement if one feels they have been wronged in such a way as to need justice. The decisions of the Matriarch and her representatives are final.

DRAGON CONSEQUENCES Dragon Law is fairly unique. For the most part laws in dragon lands are viewed by most all as being more like guidelines. With very few exceptions, the rulings that are deemed as 'laws' reflect dragon mentality. In the case where they are actually rulings meant to protect, laws 4-7 basically, then the consequences for breaking them vary widely. Obviously betraying the race may result in death via challenge. Just as easily it could result in exile or death by decree of the Elder Court. One thing is for sure, the consequences of rule breaking in Dragon lands can be expected to be just and swift.
