Auire

The name of the world. Legend has it, it was created after the previous world, named Earth, was destroyed in a mythic war, known as Quorangar.

Legend is, all cultures began as one, from the first men whom the gods placed upon Auire. Dragons were the native race of sentients of Auire, and were worshipped as demi-gods. It is said the dragons first taught magic to the humans of this world. The humans began to spread, and they founded a religion based on nature, since they believed their previous world was destroyed through technology and not enough spirituality. Tribes spread all over the planet, and people lived technologically primitive, but rich lives, filled with plenty of resources and the help of magic to replace devices and labor society would otherwise seek from civilization and big cities.

Over thousands and thousands of years living like this, many of the human tribes began to change. The orcs, goblins, and trolls began to evolve and due to isolation, they would not meet again until they were fully formed races. Some races like troggs, ogres, and trolls became more animalistic and less intelligent, taking on traits of apes and other animals. Nazrath are a peculiar tribe of ape men who have retained dignity and intelligence, though their appearance has devolved, and they continue with the ancient traditions of living with the land, even through the Magic Crisis.

Dwarven and gnomish tribes stayed relatively human looking but their physical appearance changed to fit a subterranean lifestyle.

At some point, many of the human kingdoms, along with dwarves, gnomes, and some of the goblins began to create cities again. Magic was used to build great civilizations that were relatively in balance with nature, and the world began to fill out and have contact with each other, sharing their cultures, and occasionally engaging in war and trade.

The elves came about at this dawn of civilization of Auire, from the most talented mages of the realms who transformed their very blood (DNA) into a superior type of being based on the human, and they were able to produce a whole race with the traits of heightened senses, superior agility and strength, elimination of all genetic diseases, resistance to nearly any infectious disease, a naturally strong connection to magic, and a brain capable of photographic memory and advanced calculations, in other words, they're smart. They separated from the humans and left them behind because they believed they had lost the true spirit of living with nature.

The Earthborn Empire rose from a conglomeration of ambitious human kingdoms in the southern continent Rielli.

The known world consists of 2 continents: Rielli and Zjik. The large island named Genarctana is considered a part of Rielli even though it is far from the mainland.

Pronounced: "Aw-ear'", sometimes sounds like "ire" or "aw'-yer"
