=== After Neon Exposure ===
==== Landscape ====
After the bomb exploded and the land was covered with neon exposure, the trees weltered away and died.. The grass itself turned a dark color, and seemed lifeless. Even the air itself became thicker. The landscape changed from it's lush forests into the dead grove that we know Southern Mainlands to be.
==== Wild Life ====
The animals of the forest, the ones who were to slow to run away, all suffocated and died, however, the insects there grew in size and shape. They were much larger, and could frighten anyone who ever came into contact with them, very hostile and carnivores creatures as of now. The most common insect in these lands were known as the man eaters, massive bugs that swarmed the skies picking off humanoid creatures.
==== Gnomes ====
The gnomes were considered the first to be infected by the bomb, considering there were thousands of engineers working on Project Neon. At first, all the Gnomes grew deathly sick, and their skin turned a rotten-green.. Their faces became covered in boils and blisters. Overtime their bodily features grew in size, and their once chubby structure changed into a more lean, and muscular structure. The Gnomes that survived the mutation become the Goblins.
===== Goblins =====
A race created in the Age of War.. A race that was born from Neon Exposure, and in their former lives where Gnomes.. These former Gnomes, the Goblins, were aggressive and cunning creatures, who only sought amusement and destruction in their creations. Much like the gnomes, they had an intelligent brain, but instead of using their creation to further better the world, they created deadly weapons and other inventions that caused destruction.
==== Elves ====
The Elves who were within the ancient lands of the elves, the Emerald Forest, were infected by the gas.. And much like the Gnomes, they too fell deathly sick, and were plagued with a pending death.. Instead, their body began mutating, and their bodies grew in size and in structure. Their once tall, lean body became a hunched over, muscular greenskin. They are what we know as Orcs.
===== Orcs =====
A race created in the Age of War.. A race that was born from Neon Exposure, and in their former lives were Elves.These former Elves, the Orcs, were a angry and powerful people, who thought blood and war were the only answer to their problems. Much like the Elves, the Orcs cared little for technology and science. However, these powerful, husky creatures only sought to take what they wanted, by force if need be. Even though most could be reasoned with if in the end, they obtain what they sought in the first place by any means necessary.
==== Other Races ====
Other races that were infected suffocated and died almost instantly. Mutation only occurs in a select few, the effects of Neon Exposure aren't fully known to this day, and perhaps never will be due to the gas's unpredictable nature.
