Beings mark 2

Beings are one of the two types of the souls in the Universe of Aevilon. The less power of the two most beings originate from the original races that were created by the Gods and Creators and continued to be born by reproduction.

== The Story of the Races ==

=== The Original Races ===

The [[The Gods|Gods]] knew of their own creation, they all had knowledge that they were born from the minds and power of the respective [[The Creators|Creators]]. It was this knowledge that inspired the creation of the races. They birthed seven races of beings, all different and beautiful in their own right.

The firstborn were the [[Humans]], from the individual divine power of [[Valoel]]. She made them how she believed beings should be, mortal and short lived but joyous and simple so that they may find happiness easily. They varied wildly in appearance and characteristics, yet all shared the innate human simplicities that Valoel bestowed upon them.

[[Seldarine]] witnessed Valoel’s beings the humans and their glorious birth into the universe, inspiring her to begin her own labour of creation. Deciding that beings should be more powerful that Valoel had made her Humans, Seldarine birthed the [[Archfey]]. They in appearance were not vastly dissimilar to humans and the inspiration was clear yet they were more elegant and beautiful, standing taller, leaner with pointed ears and single coloured eyes. In terms of raw ability they are closest to the Gods out of the races.

Unconvinced by her distant kin's creations of beings, [[Bestla]] tried her own hand. She greatly desired children of whom she could teach and such she made the [[Trife]]. Shorter, wider and stronger then the beings before them yet, less beautiful and graceful by far. Bestla’s unique attempt at creation with the Trife caused commotion in [[Deos]], as many Gods followed in her desire to birth a glorious race but only a few of these strived to complete their ambition.

Being in his opinion, mightier than all before him, [[Magri]] made the [[Elementals]]. Twisting and weaving together life from [[Odin]], and the different elements; fire from [[Axuna]], water from [[Posideon]], earth from [[Emera]] and air from [[Sho]]. These elements forged into life became Magri’s elementals, beings made purely of the elements. Though they varied by individual they still shared stereotypical traits of their element, Fire elementals tend to be aggressive and quick to anger where as water elementals are calm and flow through life with ease.

After Magri, [[Ymir]] believed that a Creator would make beings vastly too powerful and so told her great great grandson [[Sif]], to forge a race in her image. All races before were of a similar size with [[Trife]] being slightly smaller than Humans and Elementals but Elves slightly taller, this was changed with the [[Giants|Sif's Giants]]. Giants stood much taller than the other races and like the Elementals had been birthed from different parts of the worlds that they had made; Clouds Giants, Fire Giants, Frost Giants, Stone Giants and Storm Giants all shared a kinship, yet they were all created at the same time and have vast differences in appearance and character.

[[Tiamat]] disagreed with Ymir’s delegation as well as her opinion that [[The Creators|Creators]] would only make dangerously powerful beings. Tiamat began to mould and stretch the colours of the universe making [[Dragons|her race]] from them in her own image. What was created, as to the worry of Ymir, was the most powerful of all the races, that quickly grew increasingly so. The colours also effected the type of creature the chromatic colours caused greedy and predatory beasts and the metallic colours produced more unselfish and righteous creatures, yet as with everything some deviated from the norms. Once Tiamat fell, the metallic mostly shunned their Creator, but the chromatics continued to worship.

[[Daphiel]] was far seeing, and she knew that in the future the other races would create in a similar way to as how the Gods were doing now. They creations however would not be of life but would have movement. She foresaw that they would be called "machines" and this vision inspired her to make her own race of beings that would come to be known as "[[Machinespirits]]"

=== Approaching the Present Day ===

As with anything in the universe, overtime the races have changed. Some interbred with each other resulting in new races all together such as [[Half-elves]] or [[Genasi]], but the actions of the races were not the only influences to the change. Some races developed as a result of the environment they lived in for extended periods of times twisting certain characteristics to new different ones.

As well as this [[the Ruinous Powers]] attempted to stop the growth of the races by cursing certain blood lines of [[Humans]] and [[Gnomes]], descendants of [[Archfey]], thus creating [[Orcs]] and [[Goblinkin]] respectively. Tampering with races would become the peak of science upon the discovery of the Ruinous Powers' doings and a group of 25 [[Scientific Races|scientists mixed animals and races]] in the process creating hundreds of their own races.

However, not all races ever to be birthed into the universe have survived till present day some races have fallen extinct due to unfortunate events such as war and disaster. One of these now dead races are the Trife which died out fully as [[The Shadow in the Warp|a shadow]] swept across them.
