In the beginning, all energy in the universe was formed together into what's known as the Sphere of Existence and the Dark Cosmic Sphere, two massive structures that circled around each other for untold millennia. However, the must subtle of variations lead to the two eventually colliding, bringing about a massive burst of energy as they were thrown into different dimensions, in the middle of them the creation of the universe, gods, and spirits, both of which were beings of pure energy until they further coalesced with physical matter, the difference between the two being how much energy they had absorbed during their formation.

Although the gods inherited vast powers they were not invincible, all knowing, all powerful, etc. Rather, just like us mortals they all had strengths and weaknesses and squabbled amongst each other about how best to proceed from their current position. Some used their powers to achieve selfish goals, some wished to rule all gods, some wished to share their powers with others, while some just wanted to be left alone. Although most were against it, one group with multiple different motivations behind their actions banded together with the joint purpose of creating life, a thriving ecosystem other then their own stagnant one. It was this endeavor that was known as the nine years of creation.

Aedea, a goddess otherwise known as Mother Nature, was the unofficial leader of this group, and through her powers much of their chosen planet was transformed from completely barren to a state of life bearing. However, she still needed the help of others to work out the more detailed aspects of their specializations, such as but not limited to water, earth, and sky. Viralith and Taohlno developed animals and plant life, respectively, through cells created by the god Plesaudus. However, Thurssius, the "breath of souls", was the only one of them who could create new souls from stray energy capable of true consciousness. This lead to a combined effort to create the first sentient race, the ancestors, the greatest creation of the gods. Spirits placed inside living, mortal beings were now called souls.

Many of the gods who were against this project from the start went from voiced displeasure to far more stern warnings and even outright violence when they saw the ancestors come to fruition, secretly threatened by what those mere mortals could be capable of if left to develop even further. With the other side not wanting to see all of their hard work be destroyed, this lead to a rift between the gods large enough to escalate into what's known as the First Creation War or the God vs. Spirit War. The side fighting the gods bent on destroying them needed a lot of help if they were to win, despite the aid of some gods of their own and most of the spirits, who largely wished to usurp the gods rather than be satisfied with their current subservient status.

Spirits engorged themselves with different elements through the stray elemental energy strongly present during the creation period and the war that followed. The ancestors then used the elemental power of the spirits to combine with their own soul and change their bodies, gaining new abilities and even altering their appearances until they were no longer recognizable as an ancestor, becoming other races entirely. The two most ancient and powerful of them were the giants, who then turned into titans, and the drakannians. Both of these races had the most raw power infused within them as well as elemental power, the giants only at 20 feet tall becoming titans as tall as 500 feet and the eldest, most powerful drakannians becoming equally as large.

Their combined powers became large enough to tip the scale, saving creation from it's premature extinction as more and more gods either gave up or even outright joined the mortals and spirits. What is known as the Great Pact was signed and magically enforced through a great power beyond any individual god, preventing direct interference from the gods outside of certain approved measures. Although this stopped the gods from preventing a lot of hardships that the mortals would face along the way, it also stopped them from causing it, so it was a sacrifice that had to be made. Some gods were able to give up their godly powers and become mortals, thus allowing them to interfere that way as part of a loophole, but this was a risky maneuver so most relied on followers to do their biding. Even if they retained a high level of power they could still be killed if they get too careless, which famously happened to a god named Phulantus who was slain by a lowly peasant.

Things were relatively peaceful until a power struggle between the titans and drakannians began. Now that they didn't have the gods to worry about they wanted to fill the power void for themselves. This war was even longer and more brutal then the last, reshaping the world through the collateral damage. The war only ended with the ancestors and other races forcing a ceasefire, but not before the population of both sides were devastated and even many others who were caught in the crossfire. With the titans unable to reproduce on their own and the vast available energy present during their creation dried up, they were doomed to near extinction as only the giants who didn't turn into titans remained to reproduce. The drakannians began to grow in number again but have still never recovered completely in population and didn't achieve their power status despite eliminating their titan rivals. In the end, this means that both sides lost horribly.

Most of the races around at first either died out or changed even more so no longer exist in the state they had been during ancient times. As more and more showed up and managed to stay for longer periods of time, not shifting in powers and abilities so much as the spirits are loosing power to do so, various nations began to also come about rather then the one world government they had set up since the beginning of their creation. The ancestors have spread out to become many different races so very few still exist as they had those many years ago, their continued existence a supposed myth. The most numerous race by far is the elhdes, a race comprised of traits of elves, humans, and dwarves. Various races have now occupied and explored most of the continent now known as Highrealm.

Light spirits (angels) and dark spirits (demons) are allying themselves with different gods and the dark spirits have devastated certain smaller nations, threatening to once again throw the world into chaos if they cannot be stopped, but the various nations are not all cooperative with one another. In fact, war may be brewing once again...

The following is an incomplete list of races containing basic information on them.

Gods - Gods have been around since time began, although some can potentially become them or loose their status later on. They're generally much more powerful than any normal mortal but there are exceptions. They're very diverse in the types of magic that they can employ and how powerful they are at it.

Spirits - Created alongside the gods but often with far less power. They are extremely diverse, some with what could barely be called a consciousness while others are intelligent as humans or greater. If a spirit has magical powers it's often related to a single element. A spirit can join a soul of someone to become one with them and give them magical powers. The spirit often looses it's consciousness but not if it has a strong enough one.

Giants - Giants are among the oldest of races. They have immense physical prowess and in some cases, even in magic. Their sizes vary greatly from 8 feet to 40 feet tall, originally being around 20 feet but have spread out and changed over the many years of their existence. They look mostly human but some can appear more rugged like how cavemen are stereotypically portrayed as. This depends on the individuals because there are beautiful giants as well. Some giants appear sort of like their elemental power in certain ways.

Titans - What were once giants, the titans grew to even greater size and power in an effort to combat the gods and later the drakannia by way of ancient magical arts. They have no reproduction and most were killed in the war so very few titans still exist, the ones that do often secluding themselves. Due to an increase in magic their bodies often take on the appearance of it even more completely then the giants, so ice titans have their skin coated completely in icicles, for example. The maximum size of a titan is highly debatable and rumors claim of a 500 foot one, making the tallest giants only go up to their ankle should that be true.

Drakannia - The drakannia were created alongside the same time as the giants and hold immense power in general, although weaker races of beings have spawned from them. Some are called dragons as their informal name, but often only for the winged ones. Drakannia do not all have wings but most have a dragon-like body to some extent. They never stop growing, their babies about the size of humans and the largest elder on record able to rival the titans in size. They come in different types such as fire, ice, etc, able to breath out and otherwise control their element to an extent. They got into a massive war with the titans. Many on both side were killed, which the Drakannia still haven't recovered from as far as population size is concerned, originally said to be as common as birds. Drakannia and giants still feud quit often, although not on such a large scale, drakannians seeing giants mostly as a food source rather than something to send huge invasions forces against.

Ancestors - The ancestors were the first sentient race created by the gods and from which spawned many other races. Rumors of their continued existence are debatable.

Elhdes - The most common race and spawned from the ancestors. There's further distinction amongst their race by the slang terms "human, elf, and dwarf" based on certain qualities that they have, but they're basically just like different ethnicities of elhde. Due to their great diversity, however, many differences can indeed come about amongst different elhde groups as they traveled around the world. Some look like normal humans but common qualities in all groups, especially in the elves, are pointed ears. They can be large or small in stature, the elves being the largest and slimmest, then the humans, then the dwarves. However, the human ethnicity shows the greatest diversity so can be very tall or very short to match the other two groups in height. Their body shapes and facial features can also be realistic all the way to more cartoony looking, capable of having unique features such as massive noses, a squat body, bizarre mustaches and eyebrows, etc. Imagine Wario and Waluigi type people.

There are abilities that can be learned based on the character's unique abilities, their race abilities, their level abilities, their class abilities, and their equipment abilities. The list of abilities will be filled in the coming days and whenever new ones are thought up and approved for use.

Equipment will be things like weapons, magical trinkets, items, armor, etc. Like abilities, the list will have to be created in time. We clearly have no time to wait for this massive amount of information to come out so equipment will only be put in as it comes into importance.
