A young woman looked down upon a blue and green planet through what appeared to be a crystal clear spring. She kneeled upon a crystal floor, and was surrounded by a vast hall made of marble. Magic runes glowed faintly on the walls and floors.
The woman herself was beautiful, albeit in a strange, exotic manner. She was tall and lithe, built like a gymnast. She had pointed ears, and gentle brown eyes with a silvery light in them. On her back she had a pair of angel wings, with pure snow white feathers. Her white dress was speckled with rubies. She had the tail of a dragon.
She set her hand on the surface of the pool, and closed her eyes. "Yes, I hear you..." she whispered, though the child who was now being shone in the pool could not hear her. "Your mother will be fine. One of my angels will visit her tonight and she will be cured."
A sparkle of light flew from her hand and down into the world. Though no mortal could see it, it raced through the boy's home and into his mother's room.
For a moment, she looked at the child with a tender face. He was kneeling in front of a statue of her, the Goddess of Life and the Creator of the World, Bandera. By her side was the likenesses of Efreet, Sylph, Gnome, and Undine.
Tears welled up in Bandera's eyes. He was an impoverished child, praying to gods he would never meet. All she could do for him was send an angel along with a small blessing.
She knelt there for a moment. A flame burst into existence at her side, and it transformed into a large, furry dragonlike creature on two legs. He was Efreet, the God of Fire and Kinship. He was muscular, and stood around 8 feet tall. His fur was re, orange, and black. His eyes were a red color, but they did not appear evil, rather, they looked kind and gentle.
"Sister, it is time. The other gods are waiting," he said.
The Goddess stood up, regaining her composure. "I see. The summer solstice already, then? Time sure flies. Very well. Let us go," she sighed. The both of them disappeared in a flash of light.

In ancient times, when the gods themselves were still young, they lived among their mortal creations in peace and harmony. All races were equals, and the gods were loving friends as well as faithful guardians to all of their children. However, an evil spirit named Khaous appeared and unleashed legions of Demonic Entities onto the land.
These Demons possessed both mortals and beasts alike, and could potentially take on physical forms. They preyed upon mortal weakness, and recieved mana- the energy of both life and magic- directly from Khaous himself. The six original gods watched in horror as their creations killed eachother.
Zeratos, the god of destiny, knew what had to be done. He took Khaous into his body, and in doing so cut off the demons from their supply of mana. Using his very soul, he created a six layered seal with the help of the other gods, who were reluctant to do so, for he would be sealed and imprisoned with Khaous in the final seal located in the magic tower Genera. All except for the strongest of demons were destroyed by this, and without a leader, they are drastically weakened.
The remaining five gods were unable to stay, for doing so would break the seal. They returned to Origin, the plane between Azere Danatos and the afterlife. Unable to enter either of the other worlds, they are now only able to send blessings and Elemental Spirits.
Now, over 10,000 years have passed. Two mortal empires have risen into power: the Nemasian Republic, and the Gatallan Empire. The demon plague of the God Era has left many species of animals permanently hostile- turning them into violent monsters. Tensions are high between the empires.
The world has one unifying trait- the Originthian church, which follows the teachings of the gods. Priests of this church are supposed to invoke the blessings of the gods, and use their magic to heal the sick and root out demonic activity were ever it may be found.

Magic
The ability that allows the universe to maintain its balance of energy. Magic can be used for essentially anything. When activated, magic circuits generate glowing light. (An example of this is the lines that appear on Aqualad and other Atlanteans when they use magic in Young Justice). Magic also often uses Egyptian hieroglyphs when a spell has a certain effect, such as curses, enchantments, and jinxes. Spells that target a certain Area of Effect also use Hieroglyphs.
Races of Azere Daratos
Humans- Originating from two continents called Selain and Ballus, humans have a variety of talents. They are pretty much a jack of all trades, master of some. Humans from the central continent of Ballus, humans have a mixed reputation. Some humans have been utterly greedy, but some have also shown compassion. While all other of the races have also shown this, humans are the ones who have gotten the reputation, because they are the most populated race in the world. (They have more members than any of the other races, although Gajuma are an extremely close second) Humans are relatively adaptable to climates, but suffer more in cold climates. They can thrive in hot climates, but only with a very large supply of clean water.
Orcs- Originating from the mountainous and heavily forested continent of Gergand and Morfand, the Orcs are a powerful and proud race of warriors. Their code of honor, which originated when they attacked the government of Fendel Dahan after the Dahan's attempt to take their land, dictates that they only kill those who attack them and the leaders of the enemy army. Their code states that they are to avoid harming civilians, and protect them if they have the chance.
Elves- Originating in the continents of Morfand and Dellios, Elves are a very adaptable race. In fact, their homes are made of anything they can find. In forest cities, they use Magic to create homes from living trees. The trees continue to live, and grow over time. In the past, their cities have served as large hospitals for both sides of the war during war times. They live in the same lands as the Orcs, who protect their homes in return for supplies. Because of were they live, they are also part of the neutral area were a mix of both Sorin Anemian and Dahanian laws are in use. Both countries are in support of having this neutral area, because it can usually serve as a peaceful place for negotiations in war times. This race is naturally adept at magic and alchemy. (Note: More Nemasian laws and customs are used in Morfand, but Dellios has very few laws because of it's desert climate and harsh terrain)
Shifters- Members of any race other than Gajuma, Amiohne,or Dragons. They have the natural ability to transform into animals. However, they take a risk. If they transform on the full moon, they lose all control of their other form until the end of the full moon. Also, electrocution makes them transform and return to human form rapidly and uncontrollably.
Gajuma- A race of animal people, they seem to have originated partly in most of the continents, however, their homeland is considered to be a large continent called Aferal. Aferal has a large mix of climates, ranging from freezing cold to blisteringly hot. The Gajuma race is a race of both warriors and healers.
Amiohne- A race of permanent children. Most of them are human-like, but on the rare occasion they are Elf-like or Gajuma-like. They originated in ancient temples in the center of each continent, as a gift from Banderia herself. They are almost naturally masters of healing magic, and are considered holy and pure by all of the races other than the Reaperven.
Reaperven- they are the most hated race. Once upon a time, they betrayed the Goddess, gravely hurting her feelings, by hunting down and feeding upon Amiohne. They look like skeletons with red lights in their eyes. Nowadays, many are making an honest effort to make up for their betrayal.
Dragons- Big, gigantic, flying, hero-lizards. Well, most of them are good guys, but some are bad. They originated on Ballus, as guardians for the other races of the world. As ordered to by Banderia, the very first dragons flew to all of the other continents, to deliver her news of hope. They led people from each of the races to their continent's temple, where the very first Amiohne were found. From then on, Amiohne and Dragons have been the signs of Banderia.
Rules
1. Respect the other members of the RP.
2. No godmodding.
3. Keep romance to a minimal. If you have any sort of interests between characters, keep it out of the sheets. This is a fantasy adventure, you don't have the time to do that.
