At first there was nothing, not light nor dark, star nor world. Nothing. And then, out of the nothingness came Light, and with it Darkness. The Light illuminated everything that was nothing and life was born. Galaxies upon galaxies were made in the presence of Light. Then within these galaxies were stars, and worlds, and upon the worlds creatures began to form. But Light was particularly fond of a specific world, and that world's name was Earth. She basked the planet in her holiness, and it flourished, not in size, but in life.
Five Races were born in her image: Elves, Dwarves, Faeries, Dragons, and Demons. All of which lived together in harmony, but this peace was not long lasted, for Darkness was a mischievous being. He lived to ruin everything that Light created. So in an effort to wreak havoc upon earth, Darkness entered the world as a new being; Man. He began to embed each of the races with cruelty. Elves with Dishonesty. Dwarves with Narcissism. Faeries with Mischief. Dragons with Pride. And Demons with Maleficence.
The world started to fall to pieces. At first it was just the Demons battling with the Dwarves, but then Man sided with Demons, and War broke out. Faeries, Demons, and Man joined together as the Sicarius. Elves and Dwarves as the Custos. Dragons, being the prideful creatures they were, chose not to enter the war, henceforth leading to Man's takeover. Without the powerful wrath of the Dragons, the Custos were no match for three races.
Sicarius annihilated them, to the point of near extinction. The loss of the war sent Elves and Dwarves into hiding. By this time the Dragons had sided with the Custos, but were unable to do anything against Man and its allies. So the once magnificent beasts concealed themselves in the place now known as The Devil's Sea. Man, Demon, and Faerie ruled side by side, but Man was full of greed. He turned against the Demons and Faerie, forcing them too into secrecy. And the Age of Man began. Elves, Dwarves, Faeries, Demons, Dragons. All turned to myth...but the truth is they still live among us, hiding withing the human world.
