RACES
Maifs
Creatures not much differing from humans. They live in forest environments, usually on the forest borders. Their burden is to watch the piece in the forests and to not let the creatures of the deep thickets to get out and loose control. They are taking care of the forests as well, not letting the fires and droughts to happen. They have some magical powers, which help them to cure trees and other plants.
Ceveld
In their majority, they are males, rarely females, of powerful complexion with extreme force, which they have since the birth. They are one of those who make a huge part of the army and who are responsible for guarding the kingdom or the cities. Apart from the height and well-developed bodies, they have nothing in common between each other and don’t possess any particular features in their appearance. Have an ability to almost instantly cure themselves after small injuries and light wounds.
Drym
The main part of the populations, almost the same to the high race (humans) by their appearance. However, from the complete resemblance they are separated by the ability of magic. Among the representatives of this race one can find creatures that are able to control water, fire, earth, wind, thunders. A bit more sparingly one can find the lords of drought, poverty, famine and chaos. Those are, however, are often immediately isolated from the society, by being sent to the islands.
The major problem of this race consists in the fact that the marriages are allowed only between the representatives of the same kind of magic, as it is believed that the born (cleavelogs) from two different elements brings the complete chaos.
Cleavelog
The ones born from the Dryms of different magic. In early childhood they are either thrown into other families, or are left alone for arbitrariness. Those ones have to live in hiding, so not to be caught and sent under the surveillance of the king or for using them for scientific experiments.
Pramdocs
The part of the population, which is occupied with science (alchemy, medicine, meteorology, etc.) They aren’t counted as a high race due to an old legend about their connection with dark powers.
Horclig
All of the werewolf creatures, officially approved as being harmless for the society and who can control their transformations. This race is living calmly among others. Strange enough, they aren’t gregarious and they aim to live as far away from their race as possible and not to cross with them.
Wics
Species, responsible for animal husbandry and weaponry. Among them the best archers are born. They are one of those rares, who has the ability to communicate with animals. Themselves, they speak on a completely different and not understandable language from others, and they are unable to teach anyone this language. How they explain it – the communication is happening automatically and when talking to animals they hear it as their mother tongue.
Obreavelt
So called “High race”. These are the pure humans, who have no signs of magic at all. They are respected and are considered as the envoys from the Gods, burdened with bringing purity and innocence into this world. They are the major pushers of the progress, who are valued in every kingdom. They take the posts of rulers, judges, commanders and owners of various important properties. However, with time, this race divided into two:
- Fymni – those, who are by any reason weren’t accepted as “High”. They spend an ordinary and calm life as well as Dryms, working as merchants, farmers, bakers, etc. Fymni and deny voluntary the belonging to Highs, not following the aim of luxury life and everybody’s acknowledgment. Sometimes, it happens that humans can be banished from the Obreavelt for their sins, faults or for their plebeian origin. With time there is more and more of them, and the quantity of the nobility is decreasing.
- Tradair – those, who keep their noble posts and have no thought to get down to the second classes. They respect themselves, believing that since Fymni are denying by their will their grade, there’s no need to hold them. The less there are of the purest and the nobles, the more it plays for them, as the most powerful stay. Tradair are proud to be who they are, and even if though many don’t accept it, they believe themselves to be the highest of all of the creatures.

(on the right)
Race: Cleavelog, however no-one knows which magic she possesses
Place of birth: Sawheit, exact location unknown
Short bio: She remembers her childhood in Strouhale, but she doesn't know if she was born there or not. Her father used her to earn money by giving her to men. She knows nothing about her mother. Because of her magic she had to hide her tattoo marks under the head bands, as she could be easily arrested or killed. All her childhood she spent in fear, and one of the winter's nights she ran away as soon as she had a chance. She was 15 that moment. Somewhere on the streets of the small unknown town Raymar found her, he was 28 by that time. With Raymar Raina headed to Nozorra, where she started to accompany him in his sails, as they both continued their living as pirates.
Raina often suffers from nightmares as her dark magic, enclosed in her, can't leave her alone, giving her terrible apparitions.
Among pirates she is known by the nickname "Insane Beauty".
Race: Maifs
Place of birth: Odrai, clan Raflyae

She spent long evenings on the roof of the library reading and rereading various encyclopedias from all over the world. She had always had a dream to travel. On her 17th year of life, Saara finally decided to leave her home and set off by the fore planned route. However, she had never had a single idea of what she was going to face.

Place of birth: unknown, however she recalls to a place looking like the north of Xochines, as well as her physical appearance resembles to locals
Short bio: She had never thought about her racial identity as it never provided her any place in the society. She has no magic power at all, so she considers herself a fymni. She never talks about her childhood. At the age of 13 she got into the society with bad reputation and the connections she got at 15 pushed her to criminal activities. For 8 years she has been counted as an extremely dangerous and wanted spy in every kingdom. She usually goes under the nickname Anita Corrà telling her age to be 23 years old and she is from Neroque. This is just one of her most famous identities, while all her other alter-egos are to guess.
