Ai'unia

Demons and Nephilim are monotheistic and worship the same deity; Ai'unia.

The Goddess Ai'unia has dark wings, pointed elvish ears, fangs, and black horns. These physical attributes - while not shared by one race - show the connection to Ai'unia.

It is said that Ai'unia created both Demons and Nephilim, sharing aspects of herself and gifting them with magic. It is here that the lore of Ai'unia alters between Demons and Nephilim, and also part of the reason why these two races dislike each other.

Both races claim that they were the first of the two created, as being first made them closer and even more important to their deity. The Nephilim mocked the Demons for not being gifted the graceful wings. Likewise, the Demons taunted the Nephilim, calling them a weaker race.

This conflict between the two has gone on for an unknown period of time and does not show signs of ending.

Lilith

Lilith is the first vampire. Over time, she became worshiped as a deity.

Nothing is known about her, not even her true name. Her history and story is lost with only a few mentions of her from ancient texts.

The Sanguinists, a sect that revere Lilith as a goddess, believe that one day Lilith will return. When she returns, the sky will rain blood and the earth will shudder. Lilith will restore the power the vampires have lost over time and the mundanes will worship vampires as their masters.

The Sanguinists are an extremist group, viewed more as a cult. Most vampires simply believe that she was the original vampire and leave it at that. This results in Sanguinists secretly gathering to avoid persecution by the Vampire Council.

Sylviis

Sylviis is written as the Goddess of all Elves. However, she is not directly responsible for their creation.

Sylviis created demi-gods; the Gleisi. Like Sylviis, they had grace, beauty, and elongated pointed ears. Sylviis made only twenty-one Gleisi who resided with her in the Qasque Garden.

Some chose to leave the garden, curious about the mortal realm, but doing so cursed them with mortality. In a need to leave something of themselves to perpetuate, they created the elven races in their image, using their own life force to do so.

None of the mortal Gleisi survived this process, only leaving perfect alabaster statues in their place. However, they had gifted their creations with their own knowledge; language, survival, arts, and much more.

The elves took their creators and safely guarded their immortalized bodies, worshiping and thanking them for their sacrifice, gifts, as well as their creation.

Jitris

Jitris is the creator of the Drow. Jitris was convinced by the others who wanted to go to the mortal realm to join them. Against his better judgement, he tagged along. Finding himself no longer immortal, he grew bitter towards those who had pushed him to leave the Garden, and a hatred towards Sylviis who had abandoned them in the mortal realm to die.

 

[Fable]

Primis

Primis is the sole deity of the Elementals, an entity of pure energy that split itself, giving half of its essence to create their race. This essence was crystallized into the Metaerite Crystals.

The Metaerite Crystals took an elemental affinity and from them spawned the Elementals, sharing the affinity from the crystal that created them.

The crystals themselves are sentient, but they rarely communicate with the Elementals, and are viewed more as avatars of Primis.

The Elementals formed their territories around the Metaerite Crystals and are fiercely protective of them as they believe the destruction of the crystal will result in their deaths.

Neres

Neres was the deity of the Merfolk. Due to having to live so long in human society and losing their traditions and culture over time, not much is known about his lore.

Philosopher's Stone

Magician’s do not credit or use a deity to explain their existence. Instead, they believe in a legendary item known as the Philosopher's Stone.

While much of the lore surrounding this crystal is based around alchemy, that is only due to a resurgence in interest during the 1700’s when human alchemists discovered texts mentioning it and the powers it was capable of, much to the annoyance of the Magicians.

The stone has existed long before alchemical interest, though its origins are shrouded in mystery even to the magicians themselves.

What is known, is that an expedition of mortals had discovered the crystal, though their written accounts never reveal where. Three members of this expedition discovered its power to grant magical abilities and became the first Magicians. They experimented with the crystal, granting nearly the entire group they had come with magic as well.

The three decided to not return to their home, knowing that should the stone fall into the wrong hands it could impact the world negatively. Thus they created their own city; Cythytos. The city blossomed from the magic of the Philosopher's Stone.

The historical texts end there, with only speculated theories from magicians over what happened to the first magicians. One theory is that the first three managed to transcend into godhood. Another suggests that something happened between the first magicians that resulted in the downfall of the city.

The Stone’s location is unknown, but continued to be highly sought.
