The first of dragonborn were humans who were transformed by the dragonic deities, but now they are a truebreeding race of their own. Almost two millenia ago the Drajaar race came to the brink of extinction. To be exact only one Drajaar, a female called Sheraas survived the destruction of Drania. She was among the hundred Dragonriders exiled to the great desert and she was pregnant at the time. The luck was with them as they found ancient ruins of an elfling city in the heart of the desert. There she laid her eggs. She had hoped for two as was usual of her kind, but miraculously she had almost two dozen. The Progenitor Dragons were smiling. Of these eggs hatched the new generation of Drajaari, and with the help of her human and half-elven friends she raised them and passed on to them their heritage. The life in the desert was hard but they managed and when 50 years later two dragons found them the Drajaari population was already on the 4th generation. With the help of the dragons, the humans and half-elves left the desert, but the Drajaari stayed behind. And in the following two millenia their population grew thousandfold. The ruined city was rebuilt and it became central place of worship for the Drajaari Clans that scattered to conquer the desert. And the tomb of Great Mother Sheraas is still to this day a place of pilgrimage and reverance in the great city of Sherastion.[/sblock][sblock=Dwarves]Dwarves have always been a race of mystery to the other races. Never interested in the affairs of aboveground people they have kept to themselves in their underground cities. The dwarven history exists almost completely separately from the history of the aboveground. The first dwarves in this world were exiles from other-place, runaway slaves of the giantkin who had used them as miners and crafters. Having never seen the sun, nor the stars, they panicked, and hid themselves under the mountains. And there they stayed to this day. Their first city laid somewhere in the north, and from that city they began claiming the underworld as their own.Thousands of years ago, around the time when Elflings ruled above, the dwarves expanded their own empire rapidly. The greed for all things that shine and glitter drowe them onwards to claim new mining areas across the continent. But under the rock has always lived other creatures too. Creatures of horror that has kept other races from venturing too deep into the caves. In their greed the dwarves ignored them, and eventually this cost them dearly. They claimed new areas, and after a while they dug too deep. The creatures of lightless deeps drove them away. But the dwarves never gave up, instead finding new veins of precious metals or jewels, and starting the cycle again.But even if they were driven back, the dwarven empire kept expanding. Untill they met the hated elves. These creatures were exiled underground by their cousins and they were treacherous. At first they came as friends, pleading for sanctuary, but soon they started conguering the dwarven holds.Then the orcs of the north found their way underground, led by their demon-god. A war was inevitable. The dwarven emprire dwindled, and fell. This forced the dwarves to open up nominal relations with the only above-race that didn't want to exterminate them, the humans. When their own tunnel-roads were no longer safe, they made trade-agreements to get much needed resourses from humans.Now the dwarves are isolated to individual cities under the greatest mountains.[/sblock][sblock=Elvenkin]Down to south-east and one world apart, lies the Starhome, ancient homeland of all the elvenkin. A religious schism incited a civil war which ended in the greatest side expelling the others. With ships crafted from starwood they sailed off to a new home, across both the veil of worlds and the great ocean. Some were lost along the way, but most ended up on the shores of our continent. And when they had finally settled down the war broke out again. And once again it ended in one side being exiled. This time the dark followers of Spider Queen were sealed underground.[/sblock][sblock=Fae]The elite caste of Shee people. They are called Tieflings by the easterns. Fae are very alike to normal Shee, but they are taller and their eyes are like glowing embers.[/sblock][sblock=Humans][sblock=Shee]The people of the west. Shee have very sharp and angular facial features[/sblock][sblock=Dranians]Modern day Dranians are descendants of those Dragonriders who were sentenced to the desert and subsequently rescued by their allies and relocated to New Drania. They are generally fair skinned and reddish hair isn't uncommon among them. Most Dranians have emerald green eyes which is due to the very narrow magical heritage among them. Also for the same reason their faces have minor elvish details, since many of their ancestors were half-elves who were prominent among the Order of the Dragon.[/sblock][sblock=Normen][/sblock][sblock=Venii][/sblock][sblock=Taranian][/sblock][sblock=Plainsfolk][/sblock][sblock=Jahle][/sblock][/sblock][sblock=Folk]The small folk, also known as halflings by humans.[/sblock]</blockquote>
