World Overview:

The realm of Aetherius is a world where magic called Primordium and mythical creatures coexist, divided by ancient rivalries and a devastating war that has ravaged the land for generations. The continent is dominated by two major factions: the elven alliance of Valoria and the human-dwarf alliance of Regalia.

Elves of Valoria:

The elves are a proud and ancient race, divided into four sub-races each attuned to a different season and wielding a distinct form of Primordium magic - Winter Elves (Thalasium), Summer Elves (Sonaria), Autumn Elves (nomads), and Spring Elves (Sylvanor). This seasonal magic grants them dominion over the elements and makes them formidable warriors, with the power to summon ice, fire, wind, and flora to do their bidding. Their enchanted forests and crystal cities are a testament to their deep connection to nature and the arcane.

Humans and Dwarves of Regalia:

The humans and dwarves of Regalia are a hardy, innovative people who have gained ground in the war through relentless innovation and the creation of specialized, primordial-suppressing weapons. These armaments, forged in the heart of their mountain strongholds, progressively weaken the elves and allow Regalia's forces to gain the upper hand in battle. Human and dwarf warriors are renowned for their courage, adaptability, and unyielding determination.

Dragons: Dragons are magnificent and rare beasts often considered to be beings created by pure primordium magic they had the abilities to change their form at a mere thought from their true form to a demi form and finally a human form. The dragons were once abundant on the dreadwing mountains with elven royalty coming from far and wide in hopes of a dragon choosing them to bond with. Dragons were a peaceful race often content to live on Dreadwing mountain expect for the few bonded ones, when a dragon bonds with an elf it offers the elf a part of its Primordium to bind them together making the elf significantly more powerful on their own and also giving them a mental like with the dragons however this bond also prevents the dragon from turning into its human form allowing it only the two other forms.

However after the war began the dwarves forged mighty balista specially designed to hunt down Dragons forged of a metal that sucked the very Primordium from their bones. Using these weapon's hunted down many dragons from the mountains forcing some to work as beasts of burden and killing others as trophies this caused a significant impact on the dragon population and caused them to retreat into caves to hide from the war no longer bonding with the elves.
