Over two-hundred years ago, the humans invaded. It may not have been for completely selfish reasons - they simply needed more space for their rapidly increasing population - however it was wrong to strip the elves of their homeland. Once a peaceful, rural country, Kasarylia is slowly succumbing to the human way of life. Cities are expanding each day and the land is greatly dominated by humans. Still, the tribes of elves live on in what is left of Kasarylia's woodlands. Angered by the little resistance their ancestors showed to the invaders, there is talk of war among the elves. The first war in over one-thousand years...
ELVENKIND - Generally referred to as 'elves'. Natives of Kasarylia. Generally, elves live within tribes and focus their practices on magic. Most elves are born with a natural talent of magic. They also make excellent archers due to enhanced vision. Elves can be recognised by their pale skin, pointed ears and graceful aura. Though humans and elves are supposed to be equals in every way, many humans see them as second class citizens due to their 'primitive ways'
- Tribes: Tribes are a collection of elves that live a simpler life than other races, say humans... They usually focus on the worship of one of the gods depending on their traditions and lifestyle. The tribe is lead by a "Tribal Leader". Close relatives of the leader will normally be treated as royalty and will go by the title of 'Princess' or 'Prince'. There is one medic or 'priest/priestess' per tribe along with advisers and other vital members.
HUMANKIND - Originating from a distant part of Neopolis, humans invaded Kasarylia to make space for their population. Being much more 'advanced' than elvenkind, humans were able to build cities quickly and even force other species into their new lifestyle. Humans tend to think of themselves as the dominant species as they think themselves stronger and more knowledgeable than most. Humans tend to live in urban areas and work or live in rural areas and farm. From their homeland, humans brought 'beasts' and threatened to let them loose on the elves if they did not co-operate. This played a major part in keeping down the resistance.
MERFOLK - According to legend, Merfolk were assigned to look after the waters of the world and can be found in many areas throughout Neopolis. They are generally peaceful unless threatened and live in a similar way to tribal elves. There are two types of Merfolk;
Greyskin Merfolk: Generally found in fresh waters such as rivers or lakes. Mostly eat birds and fish.
Greenskin Merfolk: Generally found in the sea. Dine on all kinds of sea creatures.
CHERUBS - Cherubs are flying creatures that resemble beautiful humans with wings. They generally wear little or no clothing. Make their homes in high places such as mountains. Peaceful creatures.
BEASTS - Beasts are ferocious mutations of animals. They attack anything and everything, even each other. Not many are known to have tamed beasts and those who have have died an early death. Used as a weapon against any resistance.
WITCHES - Witches are not really a race but reside in a sort of clan made up of mostly humans who have learned to use magic (Not a skill they are born with). Usually peaceful but are dismissed by humans and treated fairly by elves.
(There are many more races in Neopolis... feel free to make up your own, providing you check with me first )
Almost everyone in Kasarylia follows the religion of Moranism, especially elves.

Personality: Lorixara is generally sweet and gentle. She rarely becomes involved when it comes to conflict and never makes any trouble. She is well-liked and respected. Also considered to be delicate, but deep inside she's a real fighter.
Tribe: Princess of the Naziire Tribe.
Weapon of Choice: Bow & Arrows.
Occupation: N/A
Info: Lorixara is the youngest of the Bonegem family. She is the princess of the Naziire tribe and the daughter of the tribal leader. She focuses her education of that of healing magic and prays daily to each of the gods, especially Lia. Lorixara does not suffer as much prejudice when she visits the human-inhabited towns nearby for shopping and goods because her father is such an influential figure however she sees it around her and does not like it one bit. Of course, she can't do anything about as she is only one elf. As well as magic, Lorixara is also handy with a bow and arrow. She isn't really allowed to do this... but she still does. Lorixara is well known about the town as she talks to most of the shopkeepers and visits regularly. She has nothing against humans themselves but has started to hear rumours about humans trying to take over her tribe's land... and is not happy.
Likes: Animals & Nature, Magic, Pretty houses, Learning about medicine, Socialising, Quiet & Peace.
Dislikes: Grumps, Bugs, Beasts (Another tribe had beasts set on them for disobeying. It was very gruesome...), Those who use power for their own selfish wants and needs.
Extra: Likes visiting the tribal medic to learn more about medicine. It really interests her
