Onixana

The World of Wonders

**Onixana** is a Council aligned world with a late medieval tech level, and a high magical level. It is known for it´s conflict with a very powerful demon Jun'huru and his followers, who sought to destroy this world.

## Inhabitants:

**Humans**: Make up the largest population in this world and their nation states take up the most land on the surface of Onixana.

**Elves**: Wise and immortal race of humanoids, though when emotions like anger take them over, they are terrifying. In Onixana, they tend to stay in their lands, and are very isolationistic, mainly Eldarmari, the High Elves.

**Orcs**: Reaving warrior race that survive on the land.

**Dwarves**: A race of miners and craftsmen. They have invented much of the infrastructure that appears in human settlements.

**Drider**: Cursed former elves after being transformed because of vengeance by their god-turned-demon Agrindz. Though not naturally evil, they are shunned for their terrifying look.

**Halflings**: A race of small jolly folk.

**Kobolds**: Race of small, bipedal and reptile-like creatures that keep to themselves, worshipping dragons and stealing magical items.

## History:

Onixana is an ancient world burdened by conflict by the demon Jun’huru, self-proclaimed "Lord of Chaos". The demon's hordes butchered their way across the lands, destroying the human, elven and dwarf civilizations of that time. Three heroes fought him, Erastor Elvwe, future King of Eldarmar and High King of Elves, Ezolva the dwarf, founder of demon hunters named after him, and human whose name was lost to history, known mainly as the Champion-Who-Was-Lost, at the end of the great Chaos War. At this time, the Angel Nara arrived on the world and took the title of World Guardian, her first act being the sealing of Lord of Chaos.

After the demon's defeat, people of Onixana slowly rebuilt their lands. With dwarves not fully recovering from the Chaos War, and the sons of Erastor busy fighting for vengeance against each other, humanity dominated much of the North Palakro. They built kingdoms such as Teoles and Negara, and founded the great Empire of Salahan.
