People (clade of individuals)

People is the name given to the collective of all persons, here meaning every individual who is not a fiend. There are seventeen genus of people, eighteen if you include akrosians. Each genus is a conjunction of genetically similar organisms capable of sexually reproducing amongst each other, granted that they are of the opposite sex and sexually mature. Within each genus there is a certain number of species which form the genus. While members of different species can reproduce if they are from the same genus, the resulting offspring can only reproduce, when that is even a possibility, with members of one of the two species, not other hybrids. In this sense, interspecific breeding can only happen for one generation, especially when you consider that the offspring of a pure person and a hybrid tend to be way more similar to the pure person, being basically pure people themselves.

All non-human people are called monsters, with the exception of daemons, who are deemed to be 'their own thing'. All clades of monsters explored in the article have been consolidated at 1.985.000.000 years into the past and presently none of them is at war with humans, with most (except the sukon) cohabitating many regions with them. Here are the seventeen genus of people:

## Humans

Contrary to the other genus, humans were destined to evolve out of natural selection from God's creation through convergent evolution. Even before they had evolved, the henads could already accurately predict what they would look like and molded the appearance of their avatar based on it. From the beginning, the henads knew that the universe had been created for humans, and so the more ambitious ones, like Zeus, wanted to be their first patron. In particular, Zeus wanted to be the one to give humanity magical powers and thus receive their worship in trade for it. There are two human species:

### Prometheans

Wanting to be the one to give humans their magical powers, Prometheus created humanity more than two billion years before they would naturally evolve by using the Fire of Olympus that he stole from Zeus. The result of Prometheus' creation, though roughly genetically comparable to humans, had their own magical system and was not particularly attached to their Creator.

#### Old elmarians

The prometheans were created on Earth in a time at which the only individuals there were the fiends and the sukon, with which they coexisted for a million years. After the sukon attempted to find their lost shard weapons to threaten the henads, Zeus recruited the prometheans to genocide them once and for all. this led to the sukon War, which lasted one million years. Defeated, only the most powerful sukon survived and hid themselves deep into the Earth. Knowing these few powerful ones still survived, the humans bargained with Zeus to receive their promised gift for their long mission: a migration to the already green and developed facet of Elmar, yet devoid of any individuals. Zeus then decided that some humans should stay on Earth to watch the surface of the planet from the skies while the others would be allowed to migrate. Those who stayed formed the Rose Guard, while those who migrated became known as the elmarians.

#### Middle elmarians

After Lucifer's rebellion, many elmarians and members of the Rose Guard on Earth were killed. Motivated by the lack of numbers in their ranks, the Rose Guard abducted all elmarians and brought them to Earth to be part of the organization. After this migration, Sancus changed the way Nexus transportation worked in response to Lucifer and thus closed the prometheans off on Earth. A descendant of the abducted elmarians, Bimu, then went on to discover a new way to travel the Nexus and reach Elmar. Having this knowledge, he started a revolt to free his people and move them back to Elmar. The Rose Guard leaders decided to let Bimu go and have the facet for himself if he taught them the method of travel he used. With that, a new wave of elmarians started inhabiting the facet that named them: the middle elmarians, known as the new elmarians at the time. Under Bimu, a unified Elmarian Kingdom was formed, but it slowly fell apart as the population increased and expanded outwards.

#### Morning humans

With a new method for Nexus traversal, the only new facet the Rose Guard was allowed to colonize was the wasteland of wind storms and flying islands that Morningland had become after Lucifer and Zeus fought. There, the colonists would travel using airships and would use elaborate technology to control the flow of the flying islands and protect them from debris. While living there was initially very challenging, most of the settlers were motivated by the fact that there were no fiends. After a million years, a group of four promethean occultists, one of which was from Morningland and the others from Earth, first managed to establish contact with Lucifer. From there they were instructed by him on how to summon his avatar into Earth. To do so, they had to kill every single human on the facet through a series of rituals, eventually succeeding. These four would later become the Four Horsemen. As that happened, Sancus once again changed the way Nexus worked, effectively trapping the morning humans within Morningland.

#### Edenites

After Lucifer entered Eden with the help of the Four Horsemen and corrupted Adam and Eve, who were the first two gardeners, God had killed the five and exiled the couple to Earth, leaving Eden at the will of the cherubim guarding it. A group of explorers from Morningland had been traveling from their home to migrate into Earth when Sancus changed the rule governing Nexus travel, and so they were confused when they did not manage to find Earth. Eventually, they ran into Eden, being barred entrance by the cherubim, who explained to them what had happened. They then insisted upon settling the abandoned Eden, a wish the angels granted after they renounced their ambitious nature and most of their magical power to live in peace and harmony within the garden world. With that, the first edenites were born.

#### New elmarians

About eight million years before the birth of Christ, an oracle named Illumeter, from a temple in the Northern Continent of Elmar had a series of visions after using a magical orb in which he saw that a powerful phantom, which had been empowered and liberated by a group of occultists, was setting up a mysterious ritual to use the magic inside of the elmarians and the monsters that lived with them in Elmar to kill all of them and then absorb what remained of their power to travel into other facets and do the same there. Illumeter did not know much about what would happen besides that, but he quickly convinced other oracles from the temple and started traveling Elmar with them, gathering crowds of people to join him in his plan of contention: Illumeter knew of a large, isolated island which could house them; there they would give up all of their mana to him, putting it inside of a trident that he would then use to slay the phantom before he absorbed the energy from the magical artifacts left on the deserted lands. As the decisive moment came, the phantom was successful in killing everyone outside of the island, but, for everyone's surprise, he also managed to kill all monsters in the island, as the islanders were apparently unsuccessful in ridding them of all of their magic. That said, the human islanders, who named themselves illumetrians from then on, survived and watched as Illumeter battled the phantom. Eventually the oracle weakened the creature, but he could not call a soul reaper to get him out of the facet, so he just sealed him into the trident and threw the artifact into the ocean. Illumeter gave what remained of the trident's power to the illumetrians and, using it, they were capable of resettling the facet. From then on they began to be known as the new elmarians, their magical system being mostly based on the magic inherited from the trident (Tritonic Magic) and the magic from ancient artifacts (Residual Magic). This island, which has now been split into three, is the one region known as Illumetria.

### Gardeners

After the prometheans went almost extinct during Lucifer's rebellion, Eden gave way to the evolution of Adam, the first human, through natural selection assisted by God. Adam, along with his miraculously created wife, Eve, were personally endowed by the Logos with a magical system of their own. They were very pure and innocent and obeyed God lovingly. After Lucifer escaped Hell and entered Eden, he managed to trick Eve into thinking that she could have the same power as God: the power to distinguish between what is good and evil. With that, the couple was corrupted and exiled from the facet, coming to live on Earth. They called themselves gardeners, for they came from the Garden of Eden. Ever since then, all humans on Earth have been gardeners, a different species from prometheans, but part of the same genus. Learn more about individual gardener groups on the article named gardener cultures.

## Daemons

The daemons were not only a genus but a single species of humanoids created by Uranus in Morningland to worship the henads in life and, upon death, transform into light angels to serve the henads in the afterlife. They were all male and would reproduce by putting their semen into specific ritual bowls during fertility ceremonies. Their appearances varied greatly, though mostly only through their faces, which they tended to cover from view as to help them assimilate among each other. One daemon once made the henad Aurora fall in love with him, leading to the birth of a special daemon, whose soul ended up being that of Lucifer, the leader of the fallen angels. Lucifer resented his henad heritage and envied God, the Creator, wanting to take his place as the architect of the cosmos. He then started a rebellion against the henads after he himself ascended into becoming a henad and, in the process, killed his body, becoming an angel at the same time. Lucifer then made his daemon allies kill themselves, turning them all into powerful angels to fight against Skyworld. In response, more than half of the light angels in Skyworld intimated Zeus to intervene, making the other light angels react and join Lucifer to stop any resistance against the rebels. Zeus then instructed the remaining daemons in Morningland to transform into light angels themselves, as to help in fighting Lucifer, and thus the species was made extinct. Zeus would soon fight Lucifer, leading to the destruction and deformation of Morningland as the angel henad won. He was later killed along with all of his angels, the dark angels, by God after trying to invade Eden for the first time with the help of the other fallen angels. In the process he had killed most prometheans and lead into the ongoing, constant conflict between the powers of the fallen angels and the angels of the Lord.

## The sukon

### The old sukon

The sukon is not only a genus but a single species of silver-haired, bipedal, chimp-like, gorilla-like, human-sized, primatoid monsters. They were initially created by Saturn in Jerbud as an incentive for the elder henads to not create humanity before it naturally evolved, as Saturn wanted to be the one to give humanity its magic. That said, the species avidly worshiped Saturn as the king of the henads and their creator. Once Zeus exiled his father to the Underworld, this drew the anger of the monsters, who were designated under the control of the elder henads as Skyworld's Throne was reorganized. The sukon eventually managed to create shards, which they used to easily kill Zagreus, one of Zeus' sons. In response, Zeus called on his only sukon nephilim son, Sancus, commanding him to steal the shard weapons and throw them into the void of the Nexus to never be found again. After Sancus was elevated as a henad, the king of the henads proceeded to throw the worst fiends from Earth into Jerbud, causing chaos and confusion. Every time the monsters were close to creating new shard weapons, Zeus would throw new fiends in their facet and cause widespread destruction. After a million years of this, only a few sukon survived. These wanted nothing to do with Zeus and agreed to not threaten him by pursuing shards. Zeus then granted them an exit from the hellhole Jerbud had become by transporting them into the Earth. The few fiends that remained in the desolate version of Jerbud were imprisoned and thus the facet became a sort of prison facet for cosmic criminals not deserving of being sent to the Underworld.

### The middle sukon

The sukon continued living on Earth for almost two billion years before being surprised by the creation of prometheans. Though relations were initially heated, the two genus managed to coexist for a million years. After some sukon managed to create new shard weapons, Zeus promised the prometheans they could live in Elmar if they killed all sukon.

### The new sukon

As explained previously on the section on prometheans, the sukon ended up surviving deep into the Earth, wherein they occasionally plot to take over the surface but never go around doing it. Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, was the first new sukon historical figure to escape to the underground and interact with humans on the surface of the Earth, being a nephilim son of Zeus. While all ordinary sukon are contained within a specific cast, Sun Wukong could actually alternate between them by morphing his body.

The sukon are a very weird species in that almost all genetic variation within the species happens within each family, not in the form of different races inside the same clade as is normally seen in other kinds. Following this notion, the species is divided into ten casts:

### Luxubes

Feral sukon with large canines and dog-like features. They are normally smaller than the other casts, walk in all fours and are capable of shouting sukon light, an amorphous form of plasma. They are only about as powerful as a human (gardener) general professional. They are all male and are fathered by caudes.

### Ignubes

Five feet tall sukon with bulky bodies, darker, reddish skin and the ability to shout and transform their fur into fire. They too are only about as powerful as a human general professional. They are all male and are fathered by caudes.

### Ferubes

Feral sukon with about the same height as ignubes and the ability to shoot a large blob from their mouths containing their micronets. This blob is a sort of parasitic symbiote which can possess other earthlings and slowly transform their bodies into the body of a ferube. Before the transformation is complete, the host's power is still partially available to the sukon. One function ferubes frequently take is to possess dying female humilises to breed with ignubes and generate new ignubes. While they can assume any sex they want through parasitism, their base form is male. They are fathered by caudes.

### Humilises

Five to six feet tall sukon with creepy faces, no tail, and the ability to control a trio made up of a luxube, an ignube and a ferube. Whenever one of them dies they can actually be parasitized by their ferube, which will then be able to use the dead body to restore his own health. Humilis are all male and are fathered by caudes.

### Clonogenes

Sukon with about the same appearance as humilises, though being one hundred times stronger. They can clone themselves multiple times, spreading their energy through their copies and abandoning clones to evade certain attacks. Among the clones, only one, true clone can never be abandoned and is fragile to attacks. The clonogenes are all male and are fathered by caudes.

### Medietes

Sukon about as strong as the clonogenes, but more hairy, taller and capable of creating only a single clone. Both clones have the same amount of resistance but only half the power, not of them being the true clone and the death of one meaning the death of both. They are all male and are fathered by caudes.

### Cornues

Golden horned sukon with about the same height as medietes, the ability to shoot fire from their bodies as a whole and a triggerable gift of near-future foresight. They are all male and are fathered by altes.

### Caudes

Golden horned, tailed sukon with about the same height as medietes and cornues and the ability to shoot light from their bodies. Curiously, they are particularly vulnerable to sukon light. Caudes are all male and are fathered by altes.

### Altes

Golden horned, tailed sukon with the ability to both shoot and deflect sukon light with their bodies. Young altes are around ten times stronger than their cornue parents, while elder altes are around a hundred times stronger than their cornue children. In the latter case, altes are actually stronger than their bosses, the regies. Altes are all male and can father cornues, caudes, other altes and regies, dying in the process with the mother regie. The alte tends to lead a squadron formed by one member of each of the lower casts in the battlefront while receiving orders from his distant regie boss through mana lines. One way an alte can react to a flippant caude trying to kill them is by deflecting his light attacks and killing them. At least on the surface, altes and caudes look identical.

### Regies

Golden horned, tailed sukon, similar to altes and caudes, with the ability to emulate fiendish magic of all sorts and create mana lines to communicate with altes and other regies. They can also use the mana lines to aid ferubes into surviving and taking over powerful bodies. With powerful bodies under the control of the ferubes, the regies can then use their minions to possess even more powerful beings, up to the point where the being possessed is stronger than the regie, in which case a ritual of regal possession can allow them to fuse with the ferube and increase their base level of power. Regies are all female and reproduce by mating with altes and caudes. The great majority of regies is only about ten times stronger than a cornue in base, but some highly successful noble regies, known as the queens, have been allowed to consume other regies to get stronger, being so powerful that they do not even have squadrons, normally bossing around other regies in their favor. The queens are infertile.

## Jotuns

To demonstrate his power to the other henads in the beginning of his reign, Uranus destroyed the planet within one of the alternative facets and tainted the sky dome pitch black, name the region Ginnungagap. After Saturn castrated and exiled his father to the Underworld, taking the Throne of the World, he freed all of his siblings, including the elder henad Ymir. Saturn was particularly fond of Ymir, so he gave him the void facet as a sort of gift. There, Ymir would go on to house the jotun pantheon and even the first jotuns themselves. Jotuns are a genus of ten species which lived on this facet for a few hundred million years before angering their own henads and being forced to migrate to the Earth and Elmar. At the time, this migration caused a lot of fuss among the other henads, but Zeus granted special grants to Ymir and thus properly allowed it to happen. Since then, only the fortunate favored by the jotun pantheon live on Ginnungagap. The ten jotun species, all of which developed back in their original facet, are:

### Hecatoncheires

Hecatoncheires, also known as centimanes, are a species of jotuns with forty feet in height and dozens of limbs and heads. They are the descendants of the henad Cottus through a titanic female.

### Titanics

Titanics, also known as mountain giants, are a species of jotuns with twenty-five feet in height and an appearance very similar to that of humans. They are the descendants of the henad Iapetus through a field giantess.

### Cyclopes

Cyclopes are a species of jotuns with twenty feet in height and a single, large eye. They are the descendants of the henad Steropes through a titanic female.

#### Classical cyclopes

Race of cyclopes with human-like, rough skin. They most closely resemble the first members of the species.

#### Gem cyclopes

Race of cyclopes with whose bodies are themed on and partially made of a certain gem, crystal or mineral. There are ten gem cyclops subraces: opal, fluorite, ruby, topaz, emerald, jade, tourmaline, sapphire, obsidian and amethyst cyclopes. The first gem cyclopes from each subrace were born as children of Kedalion with colored cyclopes.

#### Eight races of colored cyclopes

Races of cyclopes with vibrant, saturated skin colors. The eight races are: red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, cyan, blue and purple cyclopes. Each race was born of the henad Venus through a male, classical cyclops lover of hers.

### Yeti

Yeti, also known as the bigfoot, are a species of jotuns with ten feet in height, furried, feral bodies and large tusks. They are the descendants of Pan through a frost giantess.

### Frost giants

Frost giants are a species of jotuns with fifteen feet in height, bluish skin and ice-related powers. They are the descendants of Ymir through a field giantess. While they only really tolerate cold climates, their solution for living in hotter regions is cooling the environment around them. In this sense, frost giant colonies tend to be artificially icey.

### Forest giants

Forest giants are a species of ten feet tall, wood-skinned jotuns with a wild vibe and druidic powers. They are the descendants of Pan through a field giantess.

### Field giants

Field giants are the original species of the jotuns, thus being also known by some as true jotuns. They very much resemble humans, but average ten feet tall.

### Mine giants

Mine giants are a species of jotuns with ten feet in height, purplish skin and mineral-related powers. They are the descendants of Brokkr through a field giantess.

### Fire giants

Fire giants are a species of jotuns with ten feet in height, dark red skin and fire-related powers. They are the descendants of Surtr through a desert giantess.

### Desert giants

Desert giants are a species of jotuns with ten feet in height, brownish skin and wind-related powers. They are the descendants of Binn through a field giantess.

## Orcs (genus)

After the planet Mars was claimed by Ares shortly after the rise of Zeus as king of the henads, he decided to host a tournament there among his sons to see who would be granted the privilege of creating a warrior race to inhabit it. The winner of the tournament ended up being the henad Cygnus, who would then go on to create the first orcs. For almost two billion years the orcs would fight in colosseums all throughout Mars and wage occasional wars against one another, mostly for the entertainment of Ares and his peers. The henads eventually got tired and went on to give less and less attention to the monsters there, kind of abandoning them to do whatever they wanted. Back on Earth, during the million-year long stalemate between the abellic and cainic kingdoms, cainic priests, worried that their kingdom's defenses were running out, prayed for Cygnus, desperate for his help. Cygnus would then lead all of the unoccupied orcs to Earth to fight on the side of the cainics, wanting only human worship in response. This would lead to a major escalation of the war between the kingdoms and, gradually, the only humans left on Earth were the abellics fighting the orcs. Millions of years later, after Anubis polemically created the ghouls and let them spread to both Earth and Elmar, Zeus issued a new cosmic law which made it so that all genus created in one of the two facets must, eventually, under a limited period of time, partially migrate to the other facet. This is known as the blood balance, and it caused the henads to force Heimdall into transporting some orcs from Earth to Elmar. The ten orc genus' species are:

### Orcs (species)

True orcs, also known as original orcs, are a species of seven feet tall, greenish orcs with large lower tusks. This clade generally preserved the original characteristics of the martian orcs.

### Beastmen

## Elves

After a few centuries fighting the cainics and orcs, the Abellic kingdom was on the verge of collapse and thus decided to make a series of rituals to their current patron henad at the time, Freyr. In response to the despair of his disciples, the henad mingled with many of their women and produced thousands of human nephilim. Those were the first beings to be called elves. The elves were mighty warriors and reproduced only amongst themselves, though they would still be part of the abellic kingdom until the orcs were defeated. As the war ended, the elves, who were now closer to being a new human species rather than being a variation of gardeners, called upon their patron henad, Freyr, and asked for him to turn them into their own genus and give them a new homeland of their own. Given their great service to him for almost a million years, he decided to create a large floating island for them to live in: Alfheim. It was the size of modern-day Britain and still stands today, two hundred kilometers above the oceans. A new, single elven kingdom would be established there, and whoever was to be chosen king of Alfheim among the elves would control the movement of the island over the surface of the planet. In case the island was to be stopped, four large chains were attached to it so that they could be dropped into the Earth and later reassembled to the island. The new homeland also had the feature of being strongly protected from fiends by an invisible magical shield, though very strong fiends could still creep in. Though the elves appreciated the gift, they still wanted to be a separate genus from humans, and so Freyr decided to make a transaction with them: they would lose most of their powers to him, becoming generally weaker than humans, and then gain their status as a new genus. This transaction had to be done because the current magical system Freyr's disciples were operating under was exclusive to humans and too energy-expensive for him to replicate to a new genus. With that, the elves became their own genetic pool and fully migrated into their homeland, leaving only humans and scattered orcs on the surface with the majority of fiends. As the humans that became elves shared a certain phenotype, this is normally dubbed the elven phenotype: smooth hair and pointed ears. Through the blood balance, elves came to be present in Elmar too. Here are the ten elven species:

### Alfheim elves

As the genus was first established, all elves were alfheim elves. This species still exists and is constituted by white elves with light blue hair and a very strong attachment to the kingdom of Alfheim (the great majority of them living there) and the king of Alfheim himself, being extremely loyal to whoever rules the island and what he demands of them.

### Black elves

Black elves are a species of elves with dim, dark skin, white hair and pitch black eyes. They emerged as children of the henad Kali through a drow male and made part of an early cult of destruction dedicated to their mother in the Underdark. This cult would lead to conflict with the drow and the expulsion of both species from the region by the Alfheim elves. Though the drow would eventually return there in small numbers, the black elves never did.

### Drow

Drow are a species of elves with purplish skin, white to blond hair and some spider-related powers, such as the production of spider webs through their mouths. They emerged as children of the henad Teotihuacan through a king of Alfheim. Though the first drow suffered a lot of prejudice in Alfheim, the status of their father was good enough as to warrant some protection to them. As their numbers were large, the king created a town just outside of the capital for them to live in, wherein they could then worship their mother and live in peace and isolation from the other elves. After their father died, one of the eldest drow female, Svari, contested the immediate coronation of her younger, non-drow brother, Sufri. this led to a quick war which almost decimated the drow. The few survivors ran from the island and started living on the surface. Later, as their population regrew, some would try and invade the island, though most of those would be content with living in its underground, commonly known since then as the Underdark. To this day, some drow still live in the Underdark, but they are a small minority.

### Vampires

Vampires are a species of elves with sunlight-sensitive, pale skin, human hair colors, prominent tuska and particular lust for blood. They emerged with the alfheim female elf nephilim Empusa, the eldest daughter of king of Alfheim, centuries after the father of the drow died. As she was a daughter to the henad Hekate, fearing what happened the last time a nephilim was the heir to the throne, elven counselors advised the king to expunge his daughter from the realm to be raised by the royal familiy of an allied human kingdom. Threatened, the king pushed the people against the counselors publicly and managed to make his daughter a both popular and protected figure in Alfheim. Whenever nobles would ask if he would let her inherit the throne, he would dodge the question. This was very suspicious, but most of the public approved of his reign and dismissed accusations of she inheritting the throne. As the doubting was common among the nobles, the king reassured them by publicly stating that she would not be his heir and that Alfheim was to have no reigning queen for one thousand years. Though the king fathered many normal, alfheim elven children through the royal harem, he would later father another vampire through Hekate, this time a male, who was immediately set to marry his sister. Doubt about him inheritting the throne quickly emerged, and the king remained dismissive. While most remained neutral, a large minority of the public approved of the young prince being the heir, as even though he did not have light blue hair, he was still the son of a popular henad, and the theory that the king wanted his successor to eventually become a henad himself was becoming popular. That said, most nobles and clerics still insisted on the king choosing a normal successor instead of the nephilim couple. On his deathbed, the king wrote a letter communicating his will as to who should inherit the throne, something he promised he would do, as without the letter his daughter would become a reigning queen. A close advisor of his was then called by him privately to send the letter to the scribes so that it could be coppied and transmitted throughout the realm. No one exactly knows what was the leaning of the advisor, but he clearly opposed the contents of the letter, given that he killed the king and faked another letter with a different heir. As he finished his letter, a group of knights witnessed his murder and then killed him. It was thus not known what letter was the original one and what was the faked one. A counsel of advisors decided to meet and investigate the question, but they were unable to come to an unbiased conclusion. They then had a vote as to what letter should be passed on. Out of the sixteen elders, only two voted for the letter that promoted the young nephilim to kinghood, while one abstained and the other thirteen voted for the one promoting the king's eldest, normal son, a Duke from a bordering region of the island, distant from the capital. The three dissenters promised to respect the decision and the voted letter was communicated. Following that, the other letter was to be burned in front of the sixteen and the two knights guarding it. When the elders approached the knights, they noticed the original letter had disappeared, being substituted by a copy. The knights were heavily inquired about the question, but managed to convince the counselor that they did not know what happened to the original, barely escaping from execution. They were then ordered to burn the fake letter on their own in the dungeon of the capital's castle. As they reached the dungeon, the two knights entered a secret tunnel and escaped for the Underdark with the fake letter. As that happened, the elders aimed to find the three dissenters, figuring they may have been involved with the theft of the item. They only managed to find two, including the absentee. Both were tortured into submission and forced to admit where they hid the original letter. Both gave contradicting statements, so their torture continued for some days. The absentee eventually gave in and died, leading the elders to investigate the place he claimed the letter was, just to then realize it was not there. They then continued to torture the other elder as hunters searched for the missing third dissenter. The tortured counselor claimed the letter the knights had was the real one and they possessed it, not the other counselor as the thirteen suspected. As he would not change his testimony for weeks, the elders decided to end the torture, kill the counselor and send a team to investigate and find the knights in the Underdark. While all of that happened, the coronation of the normal son was being prepared and the nobles grew increasingly hostile towards the vampire princes. As it had been accepted that they would not reign, the two of them were pressured into marrying early. One year into the incident with the letters, the princes were exiled by the king to an allied human kingdom. This greatly angered portions of the public, leading to a revolt which lasted through all of spring. While the hunters designated to find the knights did not meet their target at this point, they did accidentally find a group of drows living in the Underdark. Threatening to destroy their habitation, the hunters compelled them to help them search for the fugitives and their letter. As it turns out to be, the drow had been on the side of the knights all along and would later ambush and kill the members of the search team. As the abscense of the hunters was noted by the elders, they requested for the king to send an army to find the knights, but he refused as he wanted his army to focus on the possibility of another rebellion in the capital. The search for the knights was then abandoned. After a few years, the knight and the missing elder would appear with a drow army in the dungeon of the castle and storm the king's abode directly. As this incident caused a lot of confusion in the capital, many of the rebels and their relatives rose against the king and sided with the drow. As the city was destabilized, most neutral or royal-aligned citizens had to flee for the countryside, making it easier for the capital to be taken. The king was dethroned and locked into a tower, with the copy letter being revealed to be just a modified version of the original and then publicly revealed as the "one true letter". With some control of Alfheim's army core due to popular demand, the drow sent emissaries and managed to get the couple back into the island. They were then crowned king and Queen and life in the capital started returning to normal. That said, most people in the countryside still opposed the vampires and many dissenting nobles started secretly conspiring against the capital. By the time the vampire king was a teenager, six terrorist attacks against his life had already happened in an systematic attempt to make the normal prince king again, as he was the heir to the throne. By the time the vampire king was finally an adult and started having his own children as his heirs, half of the army was already under the conspiracy. After ruling for twenty years, the king freed his normal brother on the account of his approval of his reign, giving him back his old position as duke. As the duke departed from the capital, a group of terrorist acting under the conspiracy stormed his transportation and proclaimed to him that many dukes had been organizing recently to coup the vampires and make him king again. Apparently, he refused, leading to a heated discussion and his eventual assassination. The duke plotting against the vampires then accused the king of having killed his brother. The king then tried to exposed the conspiracy, leading the conspirators to accuse him of killing his brother precisely to paint them as traitors to Alfheim. This confusion then lead into a heated civil war. Both sides had ample access to army men and natural resources, so the conflict dragged on for decades, even outlasting the long reign of the first vampire king. By the time the second king, son of the first was crowned, the royal family, exclusively made up of vampires, started brewing hatred towards alfheim elves and incentivised mysegenation between vampire lower nobility and allied alfheim elves. After a few years, the dukes managed to win the optics game and started flipping small allied armies into their camp due to the racial element of the capital's new plans. This was decisive in ending the war to the favor of the elves, who then executed the already elderly king. The remainder of the vampire nobility ran away with their drow supporters to the Underdark, where in they were basically caged for centuries. The vampires and drow would eventually grow apart and fight a few conflicts, with the former being ultimately expunged from the region and into the Earth by the latter. It would be only a few decades later when a cult to Kali would generate the black elves and lead to the cleansing of the Underdark for thousands of years. To this day, the kingdom of Alfheim has never had any other species reigning as the monarch and has the consumption of blood as an activity punishable by death (for Alfheim elves and vampires) or prison (for others, unless they did not know about the law).

### White elves

White elves are a species of elves with pale skin, white hair and bright eyes. They emerged through a female vampire Apollo fell in love with, modified to look like a white elf and then had kids with. Pagan white elves call Apollo the All Father and their vampire ancestor the Brightened Bride.

### Fairies

Faries are a species of elves with three inches in height, butterfly wings and human-like skin tones and hair colors. They emerged as the children of the henad Aine with an alfheim elven bard. They lived in hidden colonies on the densest forests of Alfheim, but, eventually, they all migrated to the surface of the Earth upon the request of Aine after the civil war against the vampires had started. Their wings' color is normally diverse and varies from race to race.

### Pixies

Pixies are a species of elves with fifty centimeters in height, butterfly wings, pale skin and a variety of hair colors. They emerged as the children of the henad Gwillion with a male fairy priest of hers. Their wings' color is normally diverse and varies from race to race.

### Surface elves

Surface elves are a species of elves which migrated from Alfheim to the surface of the Earth after the cleansing of the Underdark. They first emerged as the children of the henad Vayu through an alfheim female elf. Knowing of the dangers of living under the kingdom of Alfheim, their mother lead them outside of the island and abandoned them on the surface of the Earth. All surface elves have human-like skin-tones. There are ten drastically different races within the surface elven species:

#### Cloud elves

Cloud elves are the original race of surface elves. Their appearance is the same as that of the alfheim elves, but they are also capable of flying and using wind-related magic, due to their connection to Vayu, who is named the henad of flight. Due to the patronage of Poseidon to the first surface elves, cloud elves can also use water-related magic with ease.

#### Wind elves

Wind elves are a race of surface elves with dark, colorful hair and wind-related powers. They emerged as the children of the henad Mithros, the son of a human king and a valkyrie, through a female cloud elf.

#### Winged elves

Winged elves are a race of surface elves with large, feathered wings and wind-related powers. They emerged as the children of the henad Horus through a female wind elf.

#### Ocean elves

Ocean elves are a race of surface elves with water-related magical abilities, scales with mutable colors, small horns, fin-like hair and webbed hands. They emerged as the children of the henad Delphin through a female cloud elf.

#### Lake elves

Lake elves are a race of surface elves with female human-like appearance and the ability to colonize lakes or ponds of a size proportional to their powers. Through their spiritual connection to those lakes they can use a variety of magical powers, being capable of magically producing artifacts and creating tunnels between the bodies of water, through which they tend to visit relatives. While females have genitals, males don't, which is one, more invasive ways of distinguishing between the two sexes. Lake elven reproduction happen through marriage: when a female lake elf marries her fiance, the former will travel to his lake and embrace him with a kiss; this kiss will fecundate and kill her; the male will then bring her body to her own lake and bury it there, leaving the thousands of fertilized eggs flowing in the water. Most will not bare fruit, but some will, especially through the intervention of the father in their protection. In their childhood, lake elves normally don't have their own pond, so they will generally just hang out with one another in the lake of their mothers, which will then be past down to one of the girls, while the father's lake is inherited by one of the boys. If none of the kids is powerful enough to merit a large, inherited lake, it will be partitioned among them and, if needed, their cousins. The least invasive way of distinguishing males from females is by looking at their heads: the former have very small horns, while the females have none. Lake elves emerged as the children of the henad Tengri with a wind elven princess name Allia. While Tengri, at the time, used to be a henad of the prairies, he became acquainted to the princess when a horde of orc disciples of his attacked the capital city of a wind elven kingdom. Wanting her beauty to be spared from the attack, he ordered the horde to retreat and made himself known to her. After the two of them copulated, an envious prince who wanted her hand in marriage and was thus enfuriated by Tengri decided to poison her. While Tengri knew of what was happening, he owed Zeus a favor, and Zeus, sadly, owed the duke a favor too, and so he stopped Tengri from intervening, leading to the death of Allia shortly after being impregnated. Tengri then lead her body to a lake, wherein the first lake elves would be conceived. For millions of years Tengri would remain a henad of the lake elves, but he eventually grew out of them and came back to his old habits of favoring nomadic hordes on prairies.

#### Sea elves

Sea elves are a race of surface elves with gilled, long necks, smooth-skin, webbed-hands, fish eyes, very small horns and sea-related magical powers. They emerged as the children of the henad Hatmehit through a male cloud elf.

#### Mermen

Mermen are a race of surface elves with human-like upper bodies and fish-like lower bodies. They emerged as the children of the henad Triton through a female sea elf.

#### Sock elves

Sock elves are a race of surface elves with one meter in height, balding heads, meak bodies and a limited ability to cast all sorts of spells. They emerged as the children of the henad Hestia through a male, wind elf bandit. Contrary to most other kins, the sock elves emerged not as an independent polity but as willful servants to wind elves.

#### Wild elves

Wild elves are a race of surface elves with tanned to dark skin and prominent tusks. They emerged as the children of the henad Wepwawet through a female wind elf.

#### Wood elves

Wood elves are a race of surface elves with tanned to white skin, hair made of leaves and both wood-related and druidic magical powers. They emerged as the children of the henad Pan through a female wind elf.

### Sun elves (species)

Sun elves are a species of elves with tanned, bronze-like skin. They emerged as the children of the henad Kothar through a female wind elf. The species is subdivided into ten, reasonably distinct races:

#### Sun elves (race)

True sun elves are the original race of sun elves. Their hair is blond and bright like gold, their powers center around the production of heat and the manipulation of solar energy. True sun elves can also manipulate the color of their skin to make it more reddish.

#### Golden elves

Golden elves are a race of sun elves with golden bright hair and lightning related powers. They emerged as the children of the henad Zeus through a female sun elf.

#### Star elves

Star elves are a race of sun elves with white hair, a pair of brownish horns and bright, natural, astral tattoos spread throughout their skin. They emerged as the children of the henad Astraeus through a female golden elf.

#### Zodiac elves

Zodiac elves are a race of sun elves with light hair, golden bones, a pair of white horns and the ability to turn their hair and clothing into intangible, starry mantles. Their skin is reddish but their hands and feet are paler. They emerged as the children of the henad Amurik, son of Phanes and a female star elf, through a female golden elf.

#### Silver elves

Silver elves are a race of sun elves with a mix of black and white hair and various metal-related powers. They do not like to identify with the remainder of their species and thus prefer to use clothing and metal masks to cover their tanned skin. They emerged as the children of the henad Xuangwu through a female golden elf.

#### Bronze elves

Bronze elves are a race of sun elves with bronze to copper colored hair and fire-related magical abilities. They emerged as the children of the henad Vulcan through a female sun elf.

#### Eladrin

Eladrin, also known as seasonal elves, are a race of sun elves with seasonal powers and appearance. During the spring they can use both plant and animal-related magical powers, their hair becomes green and an equally greenish layer of skin forms over their tanned, original look. As the year gets hotter and the summer comes, the skin layer and the hair both turn bright yellow and their powers are now centered aroun heat and solar magic. With the start of autumn the golden skin peels off, revealing the reddish tanned interior, the yellow hair turns vibrant red and the solar powers are conveterd into fire powers. As the season progresses the hair quickly whitens and, by autumn, its roots start turning dark cyan. As that happens the skin too turns blueish from the spread of a pigment, which will later give origin to the green and yellow layer of skin, and their magical powers invert, becoming both ice and cold-related instead of fire and heat-related. The first eladrin emerged as the children of the henad Ostara through a male bronze elven warrior.

#### Milk elves

Milk elves are a race of sun elves with purple hair and the ability to produce and manipulate a sort of highly corrosive, milk-like substance. They emerged as the children of the henad Hesat through a male star elf.

#### Satyrs

Satyrs are a race of sun elves with a very human-like, hairy upper-body, a goat-like lower body and small to medium-sized horns. They emerged as the children of the silver elf nephilim Selin, son of Pan, through various female henads known as meliae.

#### Centaurs

Centaurs are a race of sun elves with a very human-like upper-body and a full horse body in the place of the lower-body. They emerged as the children of the henad Chiron through a female satyr.

### Moon elves (species)

Moon elves are a species of elves with purple to bluish skin tones. They emerged as the children of the henad Selene through a wind elven priest of hers. The species has ten reasonably distinct races:

#### Moon elves (race)

True moon elves are the original race of moon elves. Their skin is pale purple and their loyalty is normally directed at their mother henad, Selune, around whom they've built all of their more popular rituals, festivals, clothing, architecture and prayers. As she is the henad of the moon, most of the moon elven powers are related to it too.

#### Night elves

Night elves are a race of moon elves with cyan hair, purplish skin and night-related magical powers. They emerged as the children of the henad Bhairava through a female moon elf.

#### Shadow elves

Shadow elves are a race of moon elves with white to gray to black hair, purplish skin and the ability to shift into a cloaked, demonic form with stealth illusion powers. They emerged as the children of the henad Harpocrates through a female moon elf.

#### Firbolgs

#### Hags (subspecies)

Hags are a subspecies of moon elves with hunched backs, large nails and a generally femine, elderly appearance prevailing in both genders and all age ranges. All members of the subspecies have some level of mastery in mist-based illusions and alchemy. They emerged as the children of the henad Morpheus with a female moon elf.

#### Hags (race)

True hags are the original race of the hag subspecies of moon elves. They have four feet in height, pale purple skin and light to white hair.

#### Giant hags

Giant hags are a race of hags with eight feet in height, bulky, deformed bodies, dark and rare hair and purple to blueish skin. They emerged as the children of the henad Phobos through a female hag.

#### Winter hags

They emerged as the children of the henad Khione through a male hag spellcaster.

#### Night hags

Night hags are a race of hags with five feet in height, meak bodies, dark hair, horns, purple skin and night-related powers. They emerged as the children of the henad Persephone through a male giant hag hero.

#### Green hags

Green hags are a race of hags with five feet in height, white to light hair, a light green, thin husk that naturally forms over their pale purple skin, and venom-related magical powers. They emerged as the children of the henad Ammit through a female winter hag.

#### Sea hags

## Tieflings

Four billion years ago, back when the sukon still lived in Jerbud, the 'greek giants', a group of henad children of Gaia and Saturn, declared war against the still young rule of the triad: Zeus, Poseidon and Pluto. The rebels were lead by Typhon and the fight happened on Earth, as the greek giants were presently situated in the planet Uranus, part of the Solar System, meaning that their closest entrace to Skyworld would be through Earth's sensitivity to the Nexus. The fight did not last long and, within a few hours, the rebels had been defeated. The second strongest of them, a henad named Polybotes, fought Poseidon, being immobilized by him when he threw a large fragment of nearby continent into him, pressing his avatar down until it was effectively too weak to resist. Poseidon then possessed Polybotes' spiritual body and locked him into the Underworld, the same destiny seen by the other rebels. That said, the large avatar remained buried under what is now known as the island of Nysirios. More than two billion years later, when the sukon had already been pushed into the underground and humans, elves and orcs lived in the surface as distinct genus, a group of human pirates was guided by Polybotes into finding his avatar under Nysirios. As they arrived there, the avatar consumed their flesh and, from it, produced the first tieflings. Like the modern ones, they were humanoids with smooth, grayish yet colored skin, a long tail, blank white eyes and a large, curved horns covered under darker tones of skin, contrasting their human-like and/or colored hair and elf-like ears. They also tend to have fanged fingers, a forked tongue and ungulate feet they normally cover with boots. Tiefling eyes are blind, but they can still see through their strong inclination towards sight magic.

### Early tieflings

In the beginning, the first tieflings could not reproduce on their own and had no gender, rather relying upon bringing humans to Nysirios to feed the avatar of Polybotes and generate new members of their kin. In this sense, the early tieflings used to be extremely devoted to their creator and formed a tyrannical pirate confederation to sustain their operations, exploiting the weakness of human settlements on the shores of the continents. While he killed their creator, Poseidon was still worshiped among the tiefling pirate, as was allowed by Polybotes as a means for them to sail safely and the henads in Olympus not look at the rise of the new genus as some sort of return of the greek giants. Eventually, whole human kingdoms started making alliances to fight the tiefling pirates, leading to long wars between the two species. This made the human vulnerable to the orcs, who then managed to take over some cities and first initiated the concept of urban orcs. Due to the two front war, humans experienced a strong tribulation and had to go through many conquests and reconquests to stay afloat. That said, once the overextended orc empires started failing due to bureaucratic and sanitary problems, the humans managed to expand back into their old towns and gain enough momentum to fight back and almost exterminate the tieflings. After a series of victories, the pirate capital at Nysirios was taken and tiefling reproduction was stopped.

### Modern tieflings

Having the last surviving early tieflings as their prisoners, the congregation of human navies, all of which worshiped Poseidon, decided to not execute the prisoners, as they too worshiped Poseidon. Though some contested, this decision was generally accepted, as the prisoners did not have the means to continue sacrificing humans in Nysirios. That said, the genus would be extinguished soon anyway as the early tieflings could not reproduce. Poseidon then intervened in favor of their faithful and tasked one of the admirals of the navy with the mission of convincing Venus into giving tieflings a reproductive system and sexual dymorphism. The admiral eventually completed his mission and, as a result, the remaining early tieflings became the modern tieflings: sexually dual and capable of independent reproduction through the sexual act. The tieflings were then cast out to distant island and formed their own maritime nations. Eventually, some would also creep back into the continents, but Nysirios continued being guarded by the humans from them for thousands of years. Through the blood balance, tieflings came to be known in Elmar too.

### Purple tieflings

As the name indicates, these are the tiefling species with a purple skin color, the original species of the genus. While the early tieflings existed for hundreds of thousands of years, their species never changed as they all were individually originated from Nysirios.

### Yellow tieflings

Yellow tieflings are a species of tieflings with yellow skin color, up-right horns, an elvish-like face, yellowish, blank eyes and a particular affinity to alchemy. After Venus intervened in the creation of the modern tieflings, she grew attached to them, watching their early step carefully. From this care, she came to fall in love with one of their kings, bearing a few children with him: the first yellow tieflings. The purple tiefling males always marveled at the beauty of the yellow tiefling females.

### Green tieflings

Green tieflings are a species of tieflings with green skin color, branched horns, a leaf-like tip to their tails, yellowish, blank eyes and a particular affinity to druidic magic. They emerged as the children of the henad Pan through a female yellow tiefling.

### Teal tieflings

Teal tieflings, also known as anti-tieflings, are a species of tieflings with teal skin, medium-sized dark antlers, yelowish, blank eyes and lightning-related powers. They are dubbed 'anti-tieflings' due to being the only species without forked tongues, fanged fingers, ungulate feet or even a slight weakness to lightning, being more similar to humans and elves than any other one. They emerged as the children of the henad Thor through a yellow tiefling female.

### Blue tieflings

Blue tieflings are a species of tieflings with blue skin, converging horns, hairy tails, yelowish, blank eyes, hoofed feet and moon-related powers. They emerged as children of the henad Tsukuyomi through a yellow tiefling female.

### Marine tieflings

Marine tieflings are a species of tieflings with blue skin, diverging, spiraling horns, hooked, demon-like tails, white blank eyes and water-related powers. They emerged as children of the henad Poseidon through a purple tiefling female.

### Indigo tieflings

Indigo tieflings, also known as midnight tieflings, are a species of tieflings with light purple (indigo) skin, deer-like horns, yellowish, blank eyes that glow when time near midnight and stealth-related powers. They emerged as children of the henad Melinoe through a male teal-green tiefling hybrid.

### Violet tieflings

Violet tieflings, also known as black-eyed tieflings, are a species of tieflings with dark purple to violet skin, horns of varied shapes, hooked, demon-like tails, illusion-related powers and the ability to shift the color of their blank eyes from white to black, depending on wether or not they are casting an illusion (some cast with black eyes, other with white eyes). Most members of the species look very feminine. They emerged as the children of the henad Fuku through a purple tiefling female.

### Pink tieflings

Pink tieflings, also known as magenta tieflings, are a species of tieflings with shock pink skin, horns of varied shapes, hooked, demon-like tails, a wide ability with spell-casting, color-changing blank eyes, naturally pink hair (though it is normally tainted otherwise), a strong affinity to cosmetics and a small inclination towards shape-shifting magic. Most members of the species look very feminine, though the males tend to have darker skin and the females tend to have large chests. They emerged as the children of the henad Venus through a male marine-violet tiefling hybrid.

### Red tieflings

Red tieflings, also known informally and offensively as devils, or even devilkin, are a species of tieflings with red skin of varying tones (from human-like blushed to saturated red), horns of varied shapes, hooked, demon-like tails, both fire-related and blood-related magical abilities and color-changing blank eyes (with the exception of the tiefmen race, who have very human-like eyes, with pupils and all). They emerged as the children of the henad Bellona through a pink tiefling male. While most tiefling species suffered particular prejudice from humans and other mosnters throughout almost all ages, the red tieflings are certainly the biggest historical targets of discrimination, to the point at which other species of tieflings too treated them badly throughout most of history.

## Dragons (genus)

Wishing to be worshiped by the people on Earth, Quetzacoatl approached all species that existed at one point of the facet's history and asked them for their reverence. As all of them had their own patron henads, they asked for favors in trade for the worship. Quetzacoatl rejected every single request, and thus ended up with no followers. He then decided to create a new kind of people, not meant to worship him themselves but to crush the other kinds into submission and make them worship him. Thus, the first dragons were created. They were initially all feral dragons, like the ones described in the article on creatures, but, as the humans came to learn, they could be converted into fully sentient servants if they were approached and cared for by worshippers of Quetzacoatl. With that, a very small group of humans managed to dominate the dragons and use them to conquer all continental kingdoms under the Quetza Empire. The Empire attempted several invasions of Alfheim, but all ultimately failed. After a few hundreds of thousands of years making small gains against ultramarine tiefling kingdoms, the Empire managed to take over the biggest one of them, one which had held control of the island of Nysirios for a couple of centuries then. With possession of the island, the emperor ordered its destruction, greatly angering the tieflings. The henad Tezcatlipoca, seeing that all genus of monsters were furious with the behavior of Quetzan humans, took the opportunity and gave a ragtag group of monsters access to four sickles capable of freeing the sentient dragons from the dominion of their human masters. With that, a great war against the Empire started, eventually resulting in its downfall and the independence of the dragon genus. They would eventually come to inhabit Elmar too through the blood balance. The ten species of dragons that developed during the Quetzan reign and exist to this day are:

### Wyverns

Wyverns are a species of dragons with twenty feet in height, two large legs, arm-like wings, and a large, poisoned tail. They emerged as the children of the henad Orochi through a female black dragon. There are ten races of wyverns:

#### Black wyverns

About four billion years ago the henad Maya took control of the planet closest to the Sun. There, she created a race of humanoid to inhabit the planet, the goblins. The goblins were given the choice to worship different deities and, from this choice, their looks and powers would be molded by their patron henad to fit their character. As it turns out, Maya's creation turned out to be greedy, envious and wrathful, leading to a despicable appearance and affinity to dark magic. Soon, the people in her planet angered Maya, leading to her abandoning and handing it down to Hermes, who then baptized it Mercury. The place was barely tolerable and the goblins hated it, longing to live in Elmar and directing their studies into alchemy with the objective of creating a portal to the facet. While they did try to intermediate this process through Janus, the henad of portals, their relationship with most decent henads was very precarious and unfruitful, so they mostly relied on their own genius. After receiving a message from Hermes about the emergence of the Alfheimic Empire on Earth, the most powerful goblin king decided to reform his genus and started civilizing his ranks with the objective of getting an alliance with Frey and thus merit some of his aid in their path to Elmar. Delighted by the interests of the king, Frey helped him in his civilizing quest. Angered with the initiative towards the other henad and the lack of care for him, Janus decided to become the patron of opposing kingdoms, affirming their savagery and helping them in developing their own portals. With that a sort of million-year-long war and technological dispute rages in Mercury until, at one point the freyan kingdoms, now much divorced from Frey himself, who had lost interest, but still more civilized and centered than the other goblin bands, managed to create a portal. Angered, Janus instructed some of his priests to cast powerful spells against the portal, making it lead to Earth, not Elmar, thus creating an opportunity for the savage goblins to still win the race for Elmar. As the priests were themselves wild-like and lacking any formality in their spell-casting, though they did successfully redirect the portal it also ended up turning into a vortex and sucking up most of the goblins near it, meaning a majority of the civilized ones and a few wild ones. After a few hours, the savages managed to close the portal and would then go on to use the already constructed infrastructure to remake the original portal and migrate to Elmar along with the few surviving and now jailed freyan goblins. Knowing that they would spend thousands of years to replicate the portal due to their lack of ready-made infrastructure, the goblins on Earth decided to settle, invading nearby human kingdoms in the planes, dragon kingdoms in the mountains, orc kingdoms in the dry prairies, tiefling kingdoms in the shores, elven kingdoms in the colonies and even dwarven kingdoms in the underground, forming their own bands in a variety of models of governance, loosely yet collectively orientated towards the eventual creation of a portal do Elmar. While this happened, a similar invasion occurred from the savage goblins against the elmarians, leading to a brutal war for control of the southern continent between the two groups. Pressured by an advancing human army and the army of Alfheim, the goblins managed to create a portal to Elmar only a few hundred years after arriving. The portal was small and only a few scouts were sent to the other facet. These explorers were then ambushed by the elmarians, creating a necessity for diplomatic contact between the two groups. They eventually peacefully agreed to a deal: half of all Earth goblins would migrate to Elmar and help them drag half of the Elmar goblins into the portal to Earth, while the other half of Earth goblins would stand firm on their original facet to stop their enemies from destroying the portal. The plan works, the major reason behind it being that the newly arrived savages created a new, unexpected pressure against the other genus. That said, after a few thousand years after the migration was done and the portal had been deactivated, a group of humans managed to steal it, using it to form an alliance with Alfheim and many other kingdoms and throw any goblin prisoners they could capture into the portal. Due to their lack of experience with the technology, the alliance only managed to open the portal to the planet Venus, which was seen as good enough for their purposes, as they could still use it to throw away the invaders. After tens of thousands of years more, the alliance finally managed to clean the Earth from the stains of the 'sons of Maya', as they were called. At the time, planet Venus was a paradisiac green planet, full of open planes, gardens and court houses, just like how it still is today. This state had been reached through the intervention of the henad of the same name, who received the planet as a concession from Zeus two billion years prior, during the same general era the goblins had been created in. At that time, the henad also gave her son, Priapus, the right to create a species of mortals to natively inhabit the planet, and thus the colorans had been born. Besides them, the fortunate saved by Venus and some of here associates also resided there. With the coming of the goblins, the place was torn up and the colorans were corrupted. After about one million years fighting some less corrupted natives, the more corrupted ones and the goblins finally managed to build a portal back to Earth to get their revenge on the other monsters, but Venus ended up using this opportunity to turn the portal into a vortex and expunge both genus from the planet, including the less corrupted colorans. With that, goblins were back on Earth and Janus, wanting to avoid more confusion among the henad involving him, changed the rules for portal creation, making it impractical for any such inter-facet events to take place ever again. There are ten species of goblins, all of which developed back on Mercury:

### Goblins (species)

True goblins are the original species of goblins with three feet in height, a slim body, large, elven ears, head, hands, mouth and feet, small eyes and greenish skin.

## Colorans (genus)

As explained before on the section on goblins, the genus of the colorans first emerged on Venus as the creation of Priapus. With the forced migration of goblins to the region, the colorans were corrupted by their magic and bad manners, coming to worship henad outside of the planet's pantheon and even having sex with some of them, leading to the emergence of new species through nephilim. Both genus were eventually expelled off of Venus and into the Earth, wherein they are still situated. This exile happened about one million years before the jotun migration. Two million years later the colorans would come to inhabit Elmar too through the blood balance. There are ten species of colorans, all of which developed back on Venus:

### Coloroids

Though they are not named colorans as a species, the coloroids are the actual, original species of colorans. They have a human-like appearance, size, body, varyingly cartoonish facial features, cartoon-related magical powers as well as some inclination towards drastically different types of all sorts of magic, a saturated, monocolored skin and, normally, hair of the same color. The color of the skin varies from race to race, with each race emerging from the henad Venus through a male member of another race. The original race is that of the blue coloroids. Hybrids between races tend to have their father's skin color and their mother's hair color.

### Colorans (species)

True colorans are a species of colorans with a varying height (normally around five feet), body shape and skin color, all of which tend to gradually fluctuate throughout life, and magical powers that correlate with body shape. Like the coloroids, colorans tend to have only one color for their whole body, but it varies due to hybridity. Whatever was the color of your parents when you were born will tend to be your color in your infancy. They emerged as the children of the henad Regin through a female coloroid.

### Goos

Goos are a species of colorans with human size and a very amorphous, humanoid-like body shape made out of coloran goo. They emerged as the twenty children of the henad Ususama through a female ooze. Each couple of the original goos would originate one of the ten races of the species. The color of the goo varies from race to race, with each of the following ten races having excess to a different type of magical power:

#### Black goos

Goos with black color and shadow-related powers.

#### White goos

### Gelatinous cubes

Gelatinous cubes are a species of colorans with three feet and four inches in height, a cubic, crystal clear body made out of coloran goo, various acidic and paralysis-related magical powers. The main method of attacking enemies the cubes use is to receive an attack unto their bodies, create a mana string through the contact made in the attack, extend the string until it reaches the body of the enemy, paralyze him through the string and then pull him into the acidic goo to be corroded. They emerged as the children of the henad Skoll through a female goo.

## Ghouls (genus)

After the controversial migration of the jotuns to Earth and Elmar, the henad Anubis' eyes turned towards the two facets. There he created cults dedicated to him among both elmarians and gardeners, the former being led by a grand-priestess and the latter by a grand-priest. After one million years of cult service, Anubis decided to gift his followers, he created a sort of middle dimension between Earth and Elmar, and united the two cult leaders through it, making them have a kid, a female elmarian-gardener hybrid named Messas. Messas was then raised in Elmar and, upon reaching adulthood, became the new grand-priestess. During this time, Anubis created his own human-like avatar and, after the grand-priest died, turned himself into his own grand-priest. Through the middle dimension, the two mingled and the resulting children were the first ghouls. The ghouls were separated between the two facets, becoming the leaders and symbol of the Anubis' cults and the middle dimension was destroyed. This generated an even larger controversy than the one created by the jotun migration, leading Zeus to create the blood balance, as described by the section on orcs. This same cosmic legal mechanism lead to the different ghoul species being distributed among the facets every time a new one emerged. The ten species of the genus are:

### Ghouls (species)

True ghouls, also known as zombies, are the original species of ghouls with five feet in height, a hunched back, bulky body, bluish fermenting skin, a large mouth and paralyzing bites.

### Skeletons

## Ents

Seeing the devastation of certain forests by goblins and orcs in Elmar, the henad Silvanus decides to create a new genus to live in and protect the forests with plant-related magical powers from them: the ents. After a few decades, Zeus tasks Odin with bringing ents to Earth. The henad owes a favor to Heimdall, so he can't use the bifrost, but both Janus and Loki owe favors to him, so he tasks the two with tricking ents into coming to Earth. Elmar ents would later develop into ten different species which would all be eventually exported to Earth:

### Algaemen

Algaemen are a species of human-sized ents with a leaf-like appearance, resembling specific algae clades. They emerged as the children of the henad Algos through a bryowoman.

### Bryomen

They normally live on their own wheat farms, wherein they treat plantations like real fish treat the sea. They emerged as the children of the henad Njordr through a female scarecrow. Besides their plant-related abilities, the grainfish can also manifest telekinetic energy through specific rituals.

## Crystal spines

Two million years after the establishment of the blood balance, the henad Inari decided to play with concept: knowing there is a deadline of one century for the migration from one facet to the other to happen, he created the crystal spines, a genus of fox-like humanois with bulky torsos and a crest of crystal or gems coming out of their spines, giving them an ultimatum to create a major empire for themselves before the deadline comes. If they managed to create the empire, which they did, a few of their nobles would be transported to Elmar through the bifrost and the blood balance would continue. If they did not, their kind would fall under a rapid plague and perish. With their success, the Inarian Empire was founded only four years before the deadline came. This empire would last almost two billion years, frustrating the attempts of other empires of conquering the whole Earth, even those that managed to briefly conquer Alfheim. In the beginning, Inari made ten couples of each species of the genus:

### Ruby spines

Crystal spines with ruby crystals on their backs and fire-related magical powers.

### Topaz spines

Crystal spines with topaz crystals on their backs and solar-related magical powers.

## Petrites

After Cain, the eldest son of Adam killed his younger brother Abel, his father cast him out. He then journeyed throughout the immense deserts of gray rocks that survived the genocide of the prometheans but were not yet explored by his progenitor. After a long time wandering, he found the floating, abandoned castles of the Rose Guard. By reading the documents there contained, he and his wife Aclima managed to figure the history behind the organization. Searching for redemption, Cain revived the Rose Guard and, ever since then it has continued to exist under the control of esoteric gardeners and some occasional monster members, taking on the mantle of watching the Sukon and conducting research into magic. About three million years after the establishment of the blood balance, a powerful coloran named Igrim was born to a peasant family and, after being discovered as an untapped talent by the rose guards, was adopted into their ranks to first become a scholar and then be trained as a proper guard. Igrim turned out to be so proficcient and exceptionally talented that he quickly rose through the ranks of the organization. By the time he was only 17, many curious rivals of his started suspecting that he was more powerful than what is normally possible for a coloran to be, a fact which would imply he was some sort of major nephilim with a henad father. While that wouldn't be problematic in most organizations at the time, the Rose Guard is, to this day, a purist sect that excludes nephilim and even children of unascended nephilim, given that they may become nephilim themselves as soon as their nephilim parents become henads, that is, if they do become henads at all. In this sense, when accusations of divine origin were publicly brought forth against Igrim in the following year, once his supposed coloran dad had passed away, this was seen as a grave charge. Initially, the coloran used illusions to keep his reputation in good standing and managed to continue going up in the Guard for six more months, but new evidence eventually came to light and he was revealed to be a son of Loki, leading to his suspension and expulsion from the organization by the head council. By that time, Igrim was already a part of the second highest cast available to him at his age, that of the grand masters, below only the desired seats of the overdenominators and the human-only head council. Furious, he planned a coup and started a major conflict within the Rose Guard, leading to a bloody battle and his eventual death at the hands of one of the head counselors. One of his more powerful human allies, after just witnessing his death, successfully attempted to cast a powerful spell on the soul reaper nearby and free the coloran from his dominion, turning him into a ghost: the infamous rose phantom was thus born. After a few weeks of reconstruction following the defeat of the coup, the phantom came to haunt the organization, leading to a general effort to get a soul reaper to catch him. In a total of three occurances the soul reapers failed to hold on to him due to some infiltrated supporter of his freeing him again as soon as he would be captured. To avoid repetition the Rose Guard decided to create and utilize a spell to cast him out of Earth and into the facet. Though this did result in less influence of the ghost on the guards on Earth, he still managed to manifest to them occasionally and, wrost of all, apparently managed to haunt people in Elmar too. Knowing this could be framed by Zeus, a henad they angered multiple times before, as some sort of cosmic crime on their part, the head council decided that they themselves should try to go and trap him in one of the prisons in Jerbud before it got out of hand. To do so, they developed a stamp weapon capable of doing so, but they could not use it themselves because their access to the Nexus was restricted. They then turned to Poseidon, the king of the Nexus designated by Zeus, for help in finding people unrelated to the Rose Guard that were worthy of sailing in between the facets to carry out the mission. In trade for the help, the organization would worship the henad for one billion years. Poseidon accepted the deal and immediately turned to a group of tiefling pirates who worshiped him. They were gifted with a new boat named Voidship, capable of sailing the Nexus with them inside it. Though the pirates wanted to accept the mission, they feared the sacrifice of their lives was too valuable for the other tieflings that depended on them to be done for no reason other than being saved as a hero. Poseidon then decided to gift their fellow tieflings with the petrites, a race of rock and stone-like beings with various imagetic, water and stone-related powers that would help the pirates navigate, trade, dock and pillage as they wanted too for one million years before being freed. The only extra obligation there was that twenty petrites, a couple of each already created species, would have to accompany the tieflings inside of a hidden contraption in the Voidship. The whole idea was that the pirates would search for the rose phantom, stamp him into Jerbud and then leave the magical boat in Elmar, wherein it would sink into the bottom of the ocean, be consumed by it and let free the petrites in this new facet so that the blood balance could be mantained and the mission of the Rose Guard could be completed. Almost all went according to plan, but the process of stamping the phantom released so much energy that the whole crew of pirates died, leading to ship being driven by the petrites into Elmar and the stamp weapon never being returned to Rose Guard, but rather resting among the ruins of the divinely protected, magical shipwreck in the middle of the southern ocean. The ten referred species are:

### Alabasterites

Petrites made out of alabaster with shape-shifting magical powers.

### Basalites

Petrites made out of basalt with lava and fire-related magical powers.

### Granites

Petrites made out of granite with water-related magical powers.

### Quartzites

Petrites made out of quartz with illusion-related magical powers.

### Sandites

Petrites made out of sandstone with sand-related magical powers.

### Onyxites

Petrites made out of onyx with shadow-related magical powers.

## Beholders (genus)

A few hundreds of thousands of years before the goblin migration to Earth and Elmar, the titaness Theia, tired of the boredom of Tartarus, contacted Zeus to debate him on wether or not cosmic law allowed for henads locked in the Underworld to create mortal species. Using the case of Polybotes as an example, she managed to convince Zeus to let her use her deceased avatars on the ocean floor of Earth and below a mountain in Elmar to set up the same trap Polybotes did, though she was not personally allowed to lure anyone into the traps. This limitation lead to them being unutilized for millions of years, until Loki, upon hearing of the news that the petrites on Earth were finally freed from the tieflings, decided on his own to trick a band of them into falling for the ocean floor trap, leading to their conversion into the first beholders. Loki then managed to gain permission to guard the blood balance by tricking petrites in Elmar into doing the same, leading to the spread of the single species of the genus into both facets. After one million years, the present ten species of beholders had already come into existence:

## Golems

About one million years after the liberation of the petrites, a group of gardener nephilim from the ancient region of Cotta managed to steal tons of research papers from the Rose Guard, using it then to create many magical artifacts they ultimately used to create a large empire, the Cotta Empire. After a few generations, the Empire had managed to conquer most of the surface, with the exception of a few imperial Inarian territories, and also vassalized Alfheim. The main event related to that late expansion into facet-state status was the creation of an army of bulky, humanoid, mindless mud soldiers by the genius archwizard and imperial marshall Kloud. Kloud used both his overwhelming power and the stolen knowledge from the Rose Guard to achieve his creation. Once he discovered he was a nephilim, a fact which partially explained why he was so powerful and talented, he got disillusioned with himself and the empire, deciding to leave the Earth for Skyworld as he ascended and became a henad. The imperial court assumed that he would be their patron henad and would continue to run their army for them, but, due to their hubris, he decided to turn his soldiers into a new genus of individuals: the golems. That said, he premeditated that the blood balance would lead to some of the golems as well as any other future new species that would be created having to be troublingly transported into Elmar, so he created a magical sword named the blood fairer. Everytime a new species would have to be moved from facet A to facet B, the sword would appear on facet B and potential wielders would be offered gifts to use the sword to fulfill the blood balance. With that, both Elmar and Earth house the following ten species of golems:
