The world of "Edolas" and its events have always been dictated by those who had the greatest control over the element of 'Magnis', and for entire centuries, it was an ancient race of creatures known as the Draconis. Draconis or Dragons in more basic tongue, ruled with their enormous pools of Magos with in their body. For the greater part of almost 1000 years, dragons dictated with an iron fist. No one could stand to the might of the mighty dragons, and for these 1000 years, the other races simply took to the Dragons dictatorship without question. But then an elven male, one of the oldest and wisest of the race found something that would change the course of the entire history of Edolas. What he found was a stone of Arcane Creation, and with it he become known as "Kénómo The Arcane".
With this magical stone empowering him, Kénómo effectively became a god in the eyes of the other races. Before this, Magnis was an unknown subject in Edolas. There was only one race, other then the Dragon's, with knowledge of Magnis, that being the Dark Blood Elves residing mostly in the deep hidden parts of the Forbidden Forest located in the Mountains of Meölnom. What Kénómo did to give the other race a fighting chance and not get completely slaughtered, he formed a plan that changed the tide of the war. Using the vast majority of the stone he created what is now know as the Arcane Cataclysm event. This event caused every race not only to gain the ability to use Magnis, but caused a wave of new heros able to stand up to the Dragons. This in turn caused a civil war against the dragons, starting with the death of Thélnuth the Destroyer, it sent Edolas into a living battle field.
If a battle was not being fought, there were attacks on both fronts with huge amounts of casualties, however there was one thing that wasn't in the dragon's favor. With every human lost, Kénómo was able to raise another soldier to power, using a variation of Magnis and a newborn, he was able to speed up the aging process, something once thought forbidden with Magnis rules. The dragons however would not cross the line, and in turn they were not able to replace lost dragons. In fact towards the end of the Edolas Civil War, the Dragon Council sent newborns into the battles, only to watch them get slaughtered with ease. The last battle known as the ending to the "Star Breather Age". This battle lasted three months and held more casualties then the entire civil war in total.
In the last day of battle, Leörérë the Bright Star the fourth eldest of the Dragon Council, proposed something to end the blood shed. In turn for the ending of the battle and calling a cease fire, they would retreat back to the biggest Nation-State and rule solely that Nation-State. In turn for leaving Edolas to the other races, they asked for infinite trade with all races, so that they could sustain a Nation-State. Many saw this as a ploy but Kénómo was tired of the fighting, having aged to the age of ten thounsand from use of the Stone of Arcane Creation, he realized his mistake too late. With making more troops, he had taken away many of the soliders childhoods, making them battle born killers. He had seen the tide of war shifting into something that he did not want to witness. So he agree'd to these terms and they formed a Magnis packed known as the "Treaty of Magnis".
The dragon's soon after that acted upon their word and retreated back to the center of Edolas into the floating Mountains of Élsaithe. With that, it was time to decide a new government. However many were mad at Kénómo for signing an unbreakable vow. An in anger, a group know as the Shadowmares attacked Kénómo causing a second civil war against Kénómo. This however was what Kénómo did not want to witness. The bloodshed of a once unified army, now turned against each other for power, a desire lead by hatred. Kénómo saw only one thing to do and he left, it's not quite sure where he went, but many assumed the Shadowmares had broken through the castle and killed him. Not even the Shadowmares understood what they saw that night, but they took the opportunity to take the second biggest Nation-State under the impression that they were the ones that killed virtually a god. After his death, there were many talks about what to do, with the new super powered shadowmares who took control of a Nation-State able to challenge the Dragons once more, there was talk of another civil war.
But many were tired of war, looking for peace and nothing but peace. Of course hatred controlled the Shadowmares and they broke the pact, fighting the dragons while they were down, however most of the others decided to stay away. This begun the splitting of Edolas, Nation-States being grabbed by the strongest warriors, who then in turn formed Guilds or what is rather called Houses and Clans. Edolas quickly became a world of 300 Nation-States, each with a distinct government style and power. At the top, there were 20 Nation-States that would hold the 20 biggest Nation-States and be deciding forces in Edolas. Marking the 200 year anniversary, the Dragon Council realized the situation and called a meeting with these 20 nations, in hopes to form a second council in hopes to stop another civil war. This second Council was named the Council of Kénómo in respect to the Arcane God himself. It was a rocky start at first, and the Shadowmares effectively killed Leörérë the Bright Star in an assassination on the old dragon. This almost caused the 3rd civil war, however a House by the name of Dragon Oblivion was able to keep them together. After that the Shadowmares, or rather the new generation of the once Hatred filled Clan, cooled down and stopped the 200 years of war against the dragons.
Now there is peace in the World of Edolas, but will it last forever?

Now there is peace in the World of Edolas, but will it last forever?
In this war-torn world of Edolas, there are hundreds of nation-states scattered across the land. Some bigger then others, some stronger then others. Each Nation-state is ruled by a guild, or "House/Clan" as they're called. Typically placed in the most strategically advantageous area, the guilds buildings are usually huge castles or fortresses in which a group of a nation's greatest individuals are gathered. These 'Guilds' act as the sole governing body for each nation-state and they both decide the nation's laws and personally serve in upholding them. There is a total of appoximately 300 nation-states located all around the continent, with 20 of them bearing the largest portions of land and are looked at as the most dominant and feared powers.
Magnis is an element that exists all across the world of "Edolas", flowing through every object and being. In a sense, it could also be considered a 'Soul'. Those bearing a strong 'gift' and 'sense' of this element are able to harness this 'phenomena' into different physical forms called 'Magic'. Magnis is a very interesting subject, effectively it is something that can allow you to do anything. However Magnis is very selective, it follows most guidelines, and can also be special to a certain race. Very rarely will certain races have something different from what their fellow race has, but it is not so out of place.
(You can feel free to pitch your own race idea or one that isn't listed to us, and if we find that it is reasonable, we will allow it.)
Human - The Vanilla. Can be adept, even masters of many forms of magic, but they are crippled by their lack of true specialty. Being that the are part of the few 'original races' that existed in Edolas, and as a whole not cursed or reliant on Magnis, they lack any magical weakness.
The Dark/Light Elves - The difference between the two is practically night and day. They look similar to each other however there is many difference to each others. In fact they cannot stand to sit in the same room together. Partially because of their Magnis natures. Elves in general are some of the magical beings that were around before the Arcane Cataclysm event took place. However after the AC event, the elves as a whole were split in half reacting the stone in two ways.
On one hand the Light Elves came into existence, these Elves are the closet thing to a divine being as an nonreligious being can be. They typically have two signs that they are a Light Elf and can have either one. One is the marking of Teölnale, a yellow ring-like tattoo around their neck. The second is much more rare, only the strongest are gifted with it, a pair of wings located on their back. Their appear when not out as tattoo's down the back of the elf. If they have wings, they're typically considered as part of the Royal Family, though there is no Royal family, simply just a title that Light Elves will respect if heard. Their Magnis nature is typically helpful for healing, light based Magic and defense magic.
On the other hand you have the Dark Elves, a vicious race to say the least. They are normal in appearance but underneath they have warped minds. Dark Elves are elves that had committed some type of action deemed evil by the Stone of Arcane Creation. These Elves are more closely comparable to demons. There is only one sign that they are a Dark Elf, the Stone cursed them with the Marking of Soshnugh, a scar like marking on their neck, it's almost as if they looked like they were hung. They're magnis is typically very twisted, summoning unspeakable monsters of the dead, torture magic and dark based magic.
Spectra - After the death of so many during the First Edolas Civil War, the arcane energies that now flowed like water in the air seemed to sway the Souls of the Dead from their passage into the afterlife. With these Souls being unable to cross over, and unwishing to wander their graves for untold ages, they decided to rejoin the living and inhabit into the beings of the original races, the humans and elves. Entering the vulnerable bodies of newborns hoping to take control of them, little did these Spirits know, they would merged with the Soul of their host. Now combined with their Souls combined, these children became powerful nodes of the Supernatural.
Basic abilities are that they are able to see 'Spirits' among other thing like momentary phasing through objects and carrying an unnatural chill. Their Magnis as well is more ghost based, so things such as levitation or invisibility, even teleportation.
Elemental Wight - After the event of the Arcane Cataclysm, these unnatural beings are the result of the forces of nature gaining sentience and manifesting into a physical lifeform to interact with other inhabitants. Being as they are born without any knowledge beyond basic instincts, they are often like children, often mimicking the other races and learning from observation. Their Magnis nature can vary depending on what force of nature that it had manifested from (Fire equals Fire Magic, Water Equals water type Magic, etc.).
Xanara - Much like the Elemental Wights, this is a race 'created' after the events of the Arcane Cataclysm. Due to powerful energies residing in the air during this period, the creatures that lived in such climates underwent an extremely rapid evolution. While they resemble a mix between human and elf, their bodies bear more bestial traits that correlate to the animal they had evolved from. From the more lithe and fun-loving Feline Xanara, to the hardened hunters of the Ursan Xanara. Their Magnis is however a quite interesting variation, they tend to be more physical based with their Magic.
Halfling - Not really a distinct 'race' by itself, this is more a term used to describe beings that are offspring of members from two different species. While these individuals gain the physical characteristics between both their parents, they also gain the distinct weaknesses that pertain.
