Well as far as nations go I have a pretty good idea of what I want so I should be good there. The way magic works is something that I am struggling with right now. Another thing you could help with is the different kinds of monsters that populate the world. Lastly I could use some help fleshing out the religions.

For magic... hmmm, we could make mana external energy that mages can manipulate and use and various monsters could have this energy on them too, since they kinda ruined the world?

The DnD monster book is a good idea, but there are cockatrices, goblins, trolls, giants, griffons, slimes, and of course, werewolves. The default races, but it's late and I'd need to look for the really cool monsters.

Basically do you want one big religion or multiple? Monotheistic or Polytheistic? How much power does the church have?
