So, I'm trying to get this going on another site but it seems to be dwindling miserably, so I'd love to find out if I could have any better luck here. ^^
The plot is reposted below; it is not set in stone but the basic premise is. I would love to see everyone create their own nation with whatever degree of fantasy and stick 'em all together into a world of our own creation, with enough drama and romance and conflict to last at least a month or two so our summer will be more fun.
Who's with me? ^^
For ten thousand years on the continent of Aimre, the races have lived in a constant state of apartheid. Fear, hate, and lack of empathy drove them to create their own independent nations, erecting walls and wards to keep out anyone who was not like them. There was no trade, little communication, and no understanding between the fey peoples of Aimre.
That is about to change.
Across the Sea of Storms on the continent of Tamre, the humans are growing more powerful. Bereft of the magic that blesses the other sapient races, they have devoted their time and energy to the pursuit of technology and agriculture. Now humans outnumber every other race by many million, are in possession of great steam engines and rudimentary electrical devices. It is only a matter of time before they discover Aimre and, in their relentless pursuit of power and progress, decide to invade.
If the races stand separate and alone, they will fall. The Immortal Prophet, a god-like being recognized by every society, has proclaimed it this. He and his siblings have constructed a palace in the mountains which they name Mistval, and to Mistval they have invited a male and a female heir from each race. There they will spend six months, in which time the Prophet and the rest of the Pantheon will attempt to prepare them for war and, more importantly, for peace.
Marriages will be arranged to bring two races closer and to provide proof of compatibility. Training will be given for strategy and warfare, for history and language and humanity and anything else they may need. But, in the end, the Pantheon can only do so much. It will be up to the heirs themselves to make the alliances work.

And, Dryads sound the most appealing to me,
