WAR OF THE MAGI
4000 years ago, the War of the Magi decimated most of the world's technology and most known magic. The only magic’s that remain are the pure magic’s: Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Dark and Light. Today the world as we know it has changed dramatically. The reigning Empires remain at war with each other, causing unrest among the masses. Nonetheless, the world is striving successfully to rebuild itself from the perils of War.
However, the Demon Empire has grown curious and power-hungry for the ancient power known only as the “Obentration stone“. Their leader craves this power, and will destroy anything that comes in his way. With the finding of an ancient Oben vial, a seemingly vital source of information on the location the stone, the Demon Empire is poised to take full control of this mysterious power. Several warriors, from all walks of life, must band together despite their differences in order to save the world from one who would conquer it.
No one knows exactly what the stone is capable of doing but it is rumored to be the only thing that can stop or help the Demon Leader in his conquest of the world. The location of the stone is with held in vials of Oben, a element that alone is extremely powerful. Each vial is guarded by Magi, beings that have transcended humanity and become beacons of pure energy and light/dark. In all there are 5 vials. 4 remain in the world, but their locations are unknown to anyone except the ones that hold them.
Each of the 6 kingdoms of the world control their own element. Demons: Dark, Angels: Light, Humans: Fire, Elves: water, Dwarves: Earth, Gargoyles: Air. Most in these kingdoms are content with just using their own magic…except the demon kingdom. They seem to be the only ones that are bent on ruling over all the elemental magic.

THE WORLD AS IT IS NOW
HIGH REALM: This realm is where the angels reside, it is a very beautiful land, of lushes fertile land good for growing food and nutrients. This land rises high above the other suspended by an unseen force. The angels can come and go from this realm, but if another race was to try and make their way to the high realms…they would die from the lack of air. The angels use their powers over light to give the beings in the lower realms warmth and life giving sun light as the high realms itself block most of the natural light.
MID REALMS: This is where most of the other races live. Each race as their own region, more like a large suspended island in the air. The Humans live on the region known as Pyan. This region is a land with parched land, and harsh conditions not suitable for the growing of food. Most Humans are either traders, mercenaries, or thieves very few know the ways of their own fire magic. The Elves live in a region known as Chelsta. A beautiful area with much water and fertile land perfect for harvesting vegetation. Most Elves trade with the humans, or are farmers growing food. A few live in the temples learning the ways of water magic. Dwarves live in the region called Abrake. This area is stony and not very good for growing many crops, however there are many caves that contain vital minerals and precious gems. Dwarves tend to be shop owners, or miners. Only the noblest of Dwarves are sent to the temples to learn earth magic. The Gargoyle race live in the region called Airna. Most of this region consists of trees that block all sunlight from reaching the ground, which is fine with the Gargoyles seeing as they have built massive cities in the trees themselves. The tree not only provide the gargoyle race with protection from invaders it also provides them with food. Since their race has ample food and no need for much of anything else most Gargoyles are sent to the temples at a young age to learn Air magic.
LOWER REALM: This is the realm where the demons reside. This realm is void of most light, natural or angel made. The demons have been able to adapted to the conditions of their realm and are able to grow a strange array of food in their realm. Most Demons serve in the army of their leader, who is bent on ruling the other realms. All demons are required to learn the ways of their dark shadow magic.
------------------------------------------------------------
RACES:
ANGELS: These beings are of great importance to most of the other races (except demons) They provide the light that allows the other races to live. They are taught from a young age to generate orbs of light using their own life force. The orbs of light have many purposes, both offensively and defensively. They are also used to give life supporting light to the realms below. The angels themselves are highly social and will from time to time visit the mid realm. However they very rarely descend to the lower realm to visit the demons. The angels think of themselves as the greatest being in the world and tend to have a very big ego problem. The see themselves as superiors to all creatures since they provide the light to the lower realms for their well being. Despite this though the angels are outgoing and will not hesitate to start up a conversation.
HUMANS: The humans are a cold hearted bunch, most of them are mercenaries or thieves, just doing what they can to get by. Very few are mages and use the fire magic. But the few that are allowed to learn it are the most powerful in the kingdom, The king, queen, their children, and most of the royal court know fire magic. They use this skill mainly heating their homes and defending themselves against invaders. Humans see themselves as equals to the other raves, but most other races do not agree with them.
ELVES: The elves are lively and will jump into a conversation at the drop of a hat. They love a good talk and gossip. They are the first the angels come to see when they visit. Elves use of their water magic helps most of the other races survive, since it makes the elves able to harvest and grow food. The elves view most of the other mid realm races as inferior to them, because the elves believe they hold the lives of the other races in their hands, well except the angels. The elven kingdom does not go around looking for conflict but they will not hesitate to fight back.
DWARVES: Dwarves are short, stout and strong, they spend their days mining for gold and other materials in the mines that surrounds their cities. If one was to ask a dwarf his view on the other races they would simply shrug their shoulders and go on about their business. Dwarves live the politics with the other races up to their royal family, who most dwarves see as very respected and powerful. Only the noble families are allowed to use the earth magic because to be honest most dwarves would rather use brute strength to do their daily work.
GARGOYLES: If the elves thing they are the superiors beings in the mid realms…they are wrong. The Gargoyles are, for the Gargoyle kingdom is the only kingdom that is self sustained, meaning they have no need for any other races help. They tend to lead normal lives and not bother with the other races. Their views on the other races is that they do not care what happens to them, their race can care for itself. Most Gargoyles know how to use air magic, even if it is just the very basics.
DEMONS: If the angels are the most important beings in the world…the demons are the least important. The demons live on the lowest realm of the world, away from the eyes of the rest. The demon kingdom is very close and will protect themselves even if barely provoked. Most demons want nothing more than the destruction of the other races and will stop it nothing to achieve that goal. From the time demons are born they are trained in the art of dark magic. Doing so they achieve a high mastery rate by the time they are able to join the army of the Demon King.
MAGI: Not much is known about these powerful beings, except that they guard the vials of Oben which contain the location of the Obentration Stone. They have moved past the plane of existence and live as beings of pure and powerful energy, they come and go as they please and do not meddle in the affairs of the other races (even the angels and demons).
