THE FIVE RACES Humanity is perhaps the most heavily populated of all the races, despite the drastic effects of the Great Holy War that killed over a quarter of the human population. By terms of numbers, there are still many more humans than there are any other race, during this current time of the world's history. They are considered the more dominant of the species, thanks to their progressions in magic as well as technology. Human ClassificationThere are only two types of humans that exist in the world of Vyldermire; Mage - The Eldritch did not come into this world as a creation of Vyldermire but rather was born from other creatures from the world that have 'fallen from grace'. Originally they came together as a collection of humans, demons, and sentient monsters with no place to belong. However, with time they have developed into their own powerful race, so powerful that for many a millennium they were able to dominate over the other species of the world. For a long time, there was great animosity between humans and the Eldritch. The Eldritch would prey and toy with humans and in turn, humans would hunt and kill their kind. However, under the current peace treaty of Eirinai they are obligated to live together in peace. However not all humans and Eldritch live by this law and conflict still exists in the world's shadows. Eldritch Classification These are the current types of sub-species that are classified under the Eldritch race: Demons Vampires Werewolves Witches Gaiyans, also known as The Ancients, were the original species to occupy the realm of Vyldermire. The oldest species to have occupied this earth, they have a long history of watching the world grow. Originally born from the earth itself, it is said that Gaiyans are made to protect the world and its ecosystem. As such they are a peaceful, yet incredibly powerful race. For what they lack in strength and speed, they make up with incredible magical power. Much more in tune with the realm and the magics it provides to them, they are a formidable species. Fortunately, their key aspirations are merely to watch over the earth and ensure that the balance is kept, and have a tendency to be such deep thinkers that they are slow to interfere. Gaiyan Classification These are the types of species that fall under the Gaiyan race; Angels Dryads Elves Creatures of Olde Fae / Fairy Anthros are a mysterious and elusive race, for a long time they were considered the lowest species in Vyldermire. their origins are unknown to all, some speculate that they are born from the interbreeding of Gaiyans and humans, others assume that like Gaiyans they were also born from the earth. Alas due to their tragic history, the truth behind their origin was lost. Over three thousand years ago, the Anthros were captured and enslaved by humans, as their blood is toxic to the Eldritch. They were forced into guarding the humans, as well as made into servants. In retaliation to this, the Eldritch set about creating new ways to hunt and kill the Anthros. As such the history of their people was lost under the human rulership, erased from texts, and lost completely. It was only when the Gaiyans stepped in that the Anthros race was freed from human capture and placed under the protection of the Gaiyans, until such a time that they grew strong enough to protect themselves. Whilst this was so long ago that not many remember this time, there are still some who remember the cruelty. AnthrosNekos Inu Kitsune Lapin Draconytes Avian Otherworlders are travellers that are not from this world, they can come here from different planets, dimensions, or timelines and always arrive in the Hoptus Forest inside the broken loop of the Sylvian Ruins. Once you have been transported into this world, it is very difficult to leave. In addition to this, when Otherworlders first arrive their auras are out of sync with this world, and as such the world's inhabitants will be initially hostile but as time goes on this will ease. Otherworlders can be a dual-race type being both Otherworlder and human, Eldritch or Anthros. The only species that they cannot overlap with is Gaiyan as Gaiyans are specifically born in this world. So, what would you most like the play?
