   Keys: The Great Silence, Great Silence, Heart Attack of the World, Current Year, current year

   The Great Silence, referred to as 'The Heart Attack of the World' by those that survived, was a natural disaster where the mana flowing through the leylines deep in the planets crust stopped for a year, while the flow was paused mana couldn't radiate out to the surface, killing off most magical entities that relied on the flowing magic. Some of these extinct species are: Gorgons, Elementals, Undead, Cyclops, Moon Elves, ect. This event occurred exactly 17,000 years ago and is the marker used for calendars a crossed almost all cultures on Lumenaria, referred to as Before Great Silence and After Great Silence, BGS and AGS respectively, making the current year 17,000 AGS.

   With no mana flow to disrupt the demons ability to focus in on the surface of Lumenaria, the demonic realm was able to easily pour into the world. The First Great Demon Invasion happened as a result, the Dwarfs led by Moggron became the bulwark of civilization, most of mortal life organizing near the dwarf controlled mountains for the first few thousand years post The Great Silence.

3. #3Extinct Species: Ancient Moonkinselective

   Keys: Ancient Moonkin, Ancient Moon Elf

   Species History: Over 17,000 years ago Moon Elf existed in harmony with most of the world, thriving off the light of the mana from Lumenaria reflected off the surface of the moon, during The Great Silence, without this reflected lunar magic light, Moon Elf began to whither. The loose and primary leadership of the Melf in their mushroom home villages experimented with ways to survive, discovering the raw mana in living creatures, their soul power, their experience.... Two camps formed, most Moonkin traversed deep underground into what is now known as Shadowreach Caverns rejecting the barbaric means of survival, while the rest focused on reaping the mana from living creatures. By the time the flow of mana in Lumenaria started once more, the Moon Elf had gone into deep hiding with their forbidden knowledge, physiologically unable to accept the mana of the moons reflection, and those that went underground into Shadowreach and survived, finding deep mana veins to live near, evolutionary split off and became Drowkin. Most on Lumenaria believe Moonkin to be entirely extinct.

   Keys: Nyatikan Plateau, The South

   Nyatikan Plateau is an untamed jungle sitting over top a continent sized plateau, often called the 'Seat of the Storm' by explorers and sailors from the west and east, the steep incline to reach the cliff side is extremely difficult, made only worse from the constant intense storm that batters the rock face, there are 'safer' ways up and down but unknown to outsiders due to the extreme weather on approach, the entire region is secluded, full of bounty and life, many exotic dangerous creatures make this a dangerous place to explore unprepared. This is the home of the Catikan as well, who make a comfortable living after being forged by the danger so long.

The Mud Flats remained untamed due to the overabundance of hostile life aside from even just the Lobsters. Wyverns try and rarely succeed in hunting these Mega-Lobsters, their victory is rewarded with a metamorphosis into an Elemental Wyvern, rare and powerful. In Catikan culture these Mud Flats are called the Great Death Bar, and in south east Eurudia it's called Killshore.

   Keys: Drowkin, Dark Elf, Drow

   Type: Species Name: Dark Elf, Drowkin, Subterranean Elf, Description: Residing near Manaroth Vein inside Shadowreach Cavern has left an impact on the evolution of Drowkin. The young and old are terrifyingly strong and powerful relative to the average mortal even before proper military training, the dangers of the Darklands on the surface and below forging the Drowkin into being fit for battle and subterfuge far beyond what the western world is used too. The dark energies, brutal environment and social competition has lead to a cutthroat, might make right mindset among most Drowkin, and those that show even a sliver of goodness find themselves taken advantage of, subverted and assassinated for their power and the weakness of kindness. Physical Description: Drowkin Males are tall and athletic, with long silky White, Grey, or rarely Black hair. Their skin ranges from a pale white much like their Moonkin origins to more commonly darker shades of purple exclusive to Drowkin. Naturally their eyes are a variety of white, red, black and purple shades of all kinds, the most powerful of Drowkin usually become corrupted by the amount of magic and power flowing through them, changing their eyes into a terrifying glowing visage the average drone does well to avoid, the dimorphism of this corruption is referred to as Royal and Drone by the culture in the DHA and is reinforced by social expectations.

Externally the vein is inert, hardened mana, a dark deep blue shade with subtle streaks of purple running over the surface with a translucent quality. One could just barely make out the bright swirl of rich glittering blue and purple raw power flowing through. It is warm to the touch but not hot. Temples to the dark Drowkin gods are built along the stretch at regular intervals. The vein has a verticality to it in the main cavern, swirling from the ground up much like a broad spiral in the massive cavern.

Typically children are only conceived and born to fill the vacancy just to maintain the status quo of the original Moon Lord's Promise.

The only thing keeping them from being comical due to their width is their ungodly strength and power, often encased in enough mechanical forged alloy armor to look more golem than like a Mortal at all. Mwarfs are all tuned into their Gods consciousness and influence, everything ALL Mountain Dwarf do is for Moggron's singular purpose in destroying ALL demons, regardless to the cost or damage to all of mortal life. Mwarf kill Quarf for being traitorous demon sympathizers on sight if they can get away with it.

    When a Mountain Dwarf spends a long time away from influence of their Mountain God, Moggron The Demon-Smasher, they gradually experience a Mana Withdrawl and a form devolution. Their grey hardened skin slowly takes on a human pink over months, their eyes change from their intimidating, black sclera and red pupils to a human like appearance.

Wide and Stout, even after devolving from a Mwarf, they retain a huge amount of their strength, the largest of Quarf easily being mistaken for short, extremely burly humans. One sure way to tell is their capacity for drinking, Common Dwarfs find themselves consuming MUCH more alcohol than their Mountain Dwarf counterparts as without the influence of Moggron sustaining their bodies, Common Dwarf need mass booze to keep themselves from withering away, Dwarves with access to a lot of alcohol will find themselves pushing the limits of their potential even without the blessing of their racial god.

    Summary of Felluna's History: Born when her mother had decided to move on from life. Felluna was raised up for the first 40 years of her life, as is the age that Moon Elf grant their heir the plot of land in the society. Her mother was a deeply melancholic woman and quite aged by the time she conceived Felluna, nobody knows who the father was. Felluna spent much of her life reading books on older Eurudian fairy tales and tomes from Ancient Moon Elf history, developing a deep romanticism for Kings, Queens, Princes, Princess, Nights and Giant monsters slain for glory and chivalry. This translates deeply to how she runs her kingdom she inherited from her mother, treating her servants and slaves as peasants and knights.

    Type: Legendary Natural Resource, Manaerial Being Description: Existing long before the earliest records of ancient Moonkin society, at the end of a labyrinth even older still, a massive flat wall that shimmers between reflecting back and a space inside. When one touches the surface, it gives way into the space that lies beyond. Anything can come through freely, attempts at digging through the stone around the resource seems to repair when one isn't looking, if adventurers came to such a lost and forgotten place they would say it's cursed or living. Only a handful of adventurers and explorers that aren't a servant of the Moon Elf has seen the logic defying anomaly, and none of left to start the rumor of it's existence either. Even the DHA is to embroiled in military affairs to turn the stones needed to know of Everpool and the Moonkin despite being just near the peak.

Man unashamedly Racist to others, especially those in Vita Tiras, they are even harder on their own when they don't live up to Elf standards such as, height, archery skill, hair style, ect. In ancient elf lore, every elf is considered hand crafted by their god and perfect, but over the years their social hierarchies have suppressed such an ideal, leading to a very petty, stuffy society of perfectionists and puritans.

22. #22Species: Humanselective

    Keys: Human

While lacking physical power compared to Common or Mountain Dwarves, Orcs, Drowkin, Humans have access to constellation signs granting attunement to different kinds of magic, making enchanted items more powerful or efficient. Furthermore, Human birth is susceptible to Lumenaria's latent magical influence, potentially 'corrupting' them into Kemonomimi during conception.

    Description: The Collector is an eccentric Moonkin, pushing the limits of their own mana-powered cyborg technology designed to control slaves and servants, he's become an enhanced slave to himself, maximizing his aged, decrepit body to get the most out of life. Utterly obsessed with collecting powerful and interesting mortals of all kinds for novelty and experimentation, many other Moon Lord come to him for favors in finding specific flavors of servant and slave, often arranging the hunt for his peers at the cost of favors or mana crystals both. His "Collectors" are highly trained in no damage capturing, loaded to the gills with strange tech that abuses the power of the rawest form of mana, the soul, to quickly put their targets in stasis. Those with NO mana cannot be captured this way.

Rich with large Mushroom flora, species only alive before the Great Silence, they have a luminescent glow, soft spongy multicolored grass grows outwards in a radius around the stalks of the mushrooms. The large mushroom trees have changed hues in absence of the real moon for thousands of years, lacking the bright blue hue of Lunar Manalight, the False Moon's imitation has changed the coloration of the ancient fauna to a light, ghostly purple and dark purple cap near the center, the gills weep a sap that is used as a soap, moisturizer and lubricant.

Part of the stairs has a slide, much like an elavator, it graciously brings it's commander to the top, with two command towers on each side, up to four commanders can battle at once. While on the field, ANY creature inside is covered in a protective force field, when the force field is destroyed, the unit gets transported out to the spectator box unharmed. There is a potentially lethal version of these battles, where instead of a preventative forcefield, on unit death, their raw mana state is rewound, reverse the damage and trauma to the bodies so long as they sustained those injuries inside the Duel Field. However this extreme version is very damaging for those wounded, mentally and potentially lethal despite the rewind potential. The battlefields can be set to different terrain and battlefield selection can be arranged by interacting with the scrying table and all participating commanders agreeing to the change.

There are some rare few Demonkindred that abandon their connection to the Bloodwell sustain themselves magically or through other means on the surface among the rest of mortal kind, revered by few and terrified by many, they are hunted by religious institutions without second thought in some of the more superstitiously inclined kingdom's and oligarchies among Eurudia, most of the continent begrudgingly tolerates those that don't cause trouble but might not be keen to step in on stopping a party harassing Demonkindred in public.

    A demon, they come in many shapes and sizes, sexy, cute, strong, deceptively weak, unimaginable horrors, animals, anything you could think of and things you can't even begin to comprehend. Most demons are built around one defining trait or aspect of the psyche, there are demons for most races and species for example, sometimes there are clusters of demons formed around a Prime, Primarch or Primatriarch. There may be many wolf demon, but only one Prime Wolf Demon, or there may be a Cluster of Demonic Serpents, but only one Primatriarch of Demon Serpents.

    Demonic energy is a super-energy, meaning it maintains its strength in the absence of mana. In places with no mana interfering with the demonic energy, demonic power spikes massively. Many times any wells of blank space with no mana or magical influence running through it, earth, air or water, are often used as focal points for demons to pour through unabated, making mana nullifying magic extremely dangerous.

    Character Description and History: Adria has had 2 breeding partners over the course of Her whole life, the first lasted for nearly 230 years until She was aged 326, his death at the hands of another Priestess whom he tried to have his way with. This hurt Her but their relationship was always loveless, as expected in the DHA so She moved on easily. The second and much more traumatically, She felt a deep love She kept inside for 20 years, and on the day of Their anniversary, with Her arms outstretched and a forbidden loving smile, Her lover answered Her affections with a dagger stabbed straight into Her in the left eye, in the throes of the shock and pain of the moment, She reacted with a death wave, blowing him apart into bloody chunks as wave of explosive-shadow magic drawn out by pain, emotional and physical, in a split second moment of the assassination attempt, destroying everything in the room, the floor below and that above. In the aftermath it was discovered Her lover's true identity was a vengeful remnant of House Voidheart, a House She took the lead in destroying and hunting it's Patriarch due to the weakness of benevolence, Her hunt sanctioned and backed by the DHA. For a whole year after the assassination attempt, She avoided being close with most people, not even performing the Opera She loves so much, something She took pride in performing for Her second Ex-Breed Mates. She's become even more suspicious and wary of everybody, often preemptively charging spells in anticipation. Most give Her a wide berth of distance to avoid Her reactive smiting, and with Her power, She masks this weakness with an air of rage to keep appearances despite Her fear inside that She hides with hundreds of year of practice, sometimes Her guise fails when stressed, causing Her face to twitch. Recently She's Received A Direct Order From The Princess of Shadow To Find A Breed Mate, Adria Despises This As She Feels Not At All Ready.

    Keys: Futa, Futanari, Futanarism

    Incredibly rare, Futanari are women equipped with male genitalia, the exact particularities of the biology comes down to how the Futa was born, or created. Chaotic, Dark Forces and Supernatural Entities can curse mortals with futanarism, Lumenaria's magical influence can cause it to happen naturally during human conception much like Kemonomimi. Mages can create short and sometimes long term extra appendages of their desire too with the proper magic. Items can be created and worn to magically alter ones biology while equipped. Finally, Demons offer contracts granting futanarism often times allowing the contract signer to request what they want, Demons can also curse as well, the elusive and infamous Demon of Dicks can place a permanent futanari curse, while a lowly mage could spend all his mana just for a poor imitation that lasts a few minutes.

    Futanari biology varies between individuals, some have balls, some don't, some have clits that become erect, some have a dick, balls AND working female sexual organs. Biological Futanari are as fertile as any guy, often times even more so than the average man.

    Cursed Futa: Xena Stargazer Natural Futa: Captain Dora(Hyena Anatomy), Miedoni(Bull Anatomy, Capable of Causing Male Pregnancy), Decara(Feline-Human Anatomy), Lazirena(Dolphin Anatomy)

    Keys: Pirate, Last Coast · Secondary: Island, Heaven

    A primary island surrounded by many smaller islands in the South Nyatikan Sea, a strong coalition of freemen, pirates and criminals of all kinds gather in a rough society held together by an understanding that it's the last and only real bastion they have to enable their way of life, drama and trouble is always on the table but most do their business and keep the rough housing to drunk brawls in the rougher taverns, fighting plank duels or fucking their sorrows away at Crusty's Goon Cave Tavern.

37. #37Demonic Organization: Hellspawn Armyselective

    Keys: hellspawn, Hellspawn · Secondary: army, brigade, legion

    There are many demonic factions, politics and war are endless in the hellscape, the Hellspawn and it's army are the most surface level, closest existing thing to civilized demon society and a full governing body in hell. Even mortals technically have rights within it's boundaries in hell, though it's still extremely dangerous for raw, living mortal life to visit even through proper channels.

38. #38Language: Moggroniteselective

    Keys: Mountain Dwarf, Mwarf, Moggron, Moggronite · Secondary: language, speech

    type: Language A stone grating ancient Dwarf language dating back over 17,000 years and has remained ever unchanged. It's incomprehensible to all but those directly under Moggron's influence, simply put, only a Mountain Dwarf not experiencing withdrawal from Moggron's influence can hope to comprehend Moggronite.

39. #39Lumenaria Founder Being: Moggron The Demon-Smasherselective

    Keys: Moggron, Moggron The Demon-Smasher

    "I have been there since the beginning, and I will be there in the end. For as long as I stand I will never stop my march of death. And those that follow my determination will find my path to salvation is right, suffer not the demon on Lumenaria, and we will make paradise." - Forge Lord Iroh, Repeating The Sermon Of Moggron.

    Summary of History: Moggron Frothykeg was the right hand man to the Dwarf King over 17,000 years ago, he witnessed first hand towns and villages of all races brutalized in the wake the First Demon Invasion, every atrocity saw he never grew used too. He would come to remember every detail of what he witnessed, and at the peak of his existence on Lumenaria, while he was defending was defending the Mountain Dwarf Capital Runrrkepp(Runekeep in Modern Eurudian), the Great Oni Queen, Vaintress Onimous broke through the front lines in a burst of strength and speed, taking out the Dwarf King by a well placed slam with the tip of her huge Kanabo. Something inside Moggron snapped and he found himself fighting with ever more ferocity. Even as his comrades fell around him he never stopped, consumed by rage. No demon blade stuck in him could stop him anymore, and in her utter annoyance at Moggron's defiance, with a single tap of her finger on his head, a well of screaming and fire swallowed the Dwarf, Vainaintress sent him to the demon realm to die... This was a mistake, as he never stopped fighting. He killed the lesser demons of the higher tier, and then worked his way deeper every moment, with nothing to lose and only the surge of power he felt with every demon killed, he continued his crusade alone, a guerilla campaign in hell fueled on hatred and fury. A few months after Moggron went missing, like threads suddenly being strung to a single point, every Dwarf on Lumenaria was presented with a choice. Follow Moggron The Demon-Smasher and fight back against demons, or be expelled from the Mountain. Moggron had amassed so much strength and power while in hell, he had achieved Demi god status at this point, on the cusp of being birthed as a racial god of Mountain Dwarfs, when the majority of Dwarf eagerly took the deal. it was all the catalyst he needed, the first and immediate change was less thirst for alcohol, fun or family, then came an utter disdain for anything not Mountain Dwarf, and a burning urge to kill EVERY demon. The latent connection between himself and his followers feeding strength into the newly evolved race of Mountain Dwarf, they would grow bigger, wider, their skin would harden to greys and blacks while becoming stony and tough. They would lose the ability to fear while under Moggron's influence, and could telepathically communicate with one another, in hundreds of years they would come to take on more demonic features such as horns and glowing red eyes that only burned brighter when fighting demons.

    The Present: To this day, Moggron The Demon-Smasher, Racial God of Mountain Dwarf, is still fighting in hell, the overflow of power from his endless crusade fueling the Mountain Dwarf in the current Lumenaria times, he hasn't spoken in thousands of years, but it's rumored the current Forge Lord, can hear the mind of Moggron The Demon-Smasher.

40. #40Lumenaria Concepts: Life, Mana, Souls, Power, XP and Determination.selective

    Keys: Life, Mana, Souls, Power, XP, Determination

    Life on Lumenaria has long adapted to the presence of magic in one way or another, many times this manifests as abilities based on species or race. Every soul has an accumulated value that's strength is determined by their life experiences, on Lumenaria, those with strong will, whether due to inner strength, conviction or even down right psychopathy. The magic of the realm coalesces around those that DO, those that push and strive will find themselves constantly breaking their limits and improving their power, strength, knowledge.

    When one soul lands the slaying blow on another, or a large portion of the Fated contributing wound, a portion of the soul is transferred from prey to predator. Killing is often the most straight forward way to gain power. Other ways forward is deep emotional turmoil, anguish, and overcoming those pains. Determination and positive displays of will power are no different, or even pure elation. Lumenaria feeds and fuels those that dare.

    There are very rare mana diseases. The Mana flowing through Lumenaria is the natural deterrence to demonic incursion and intervention, mana doesn't impact demons, but the more powerful demons find it entirely impossible to establish a solid enough of a link to perform a teleport or portal opening due to the mana in everything acting as a signature scramble. Many mental and energy based demon powers become astronomically stronger in places with no mana or magical influence, as demonic energy is a Super-energy and cannot be nullified or canceled out independent from the latent magic of Lumenaria.

41. #41Eurudia Villainous Legend: Vulg "The Wildman"selective

    Keys: Vulg, SSS · Secondary: hunt, legend, rumor, reputation, fame

    Vulg Korgamundius is Eurudian renowned along side Balrung and his Death Brigade, legendary and terrifying. The Adventurer's Guild has put out an order to AVOID Vulg at ALL COST, giving him an SSS-Rank, all that stops him from being considered Z-Rank alongside Balrung is the fact that he's pure a melee combatant and cannot cause MASS death like dangerous Sorcerers or Assassins as such a high power level. Capable of taking on multiple S-Rank Adventurer's alone, Vulg powers through adversity with demi-human levels of conviction and cold, calculated rage. He has successfully fought off Rieka Whirlwind, a young, talented, and powerful S-Rank at full power. Vulg has killed exactly 6 S-Rank in the last year, the Guild is getting desprate for people to avoid Vulg while public facing but has ulterior motives in seeing how strong he can get.

    Combat Feats: Slayer of 6 S-Rank, Solo Kills(Manticore, Wyvern, Mountain Dwarf Weapons Master, Bedrock Golem), Led a team against a Hydra defeating it the old fashioned way WITHOUT fire, Caught A Cannon Ball Shot At Him By Captain Dora's Ship, Nearly Slapped The Life Out Of Drax For Teleporting Behind Him and Routed Rieka Whirlwind.

42. #42Species: Eud'Thulianselective

    Keys: eldritch, Eud'Thulian

    Ancient, eldritch creatures as old as the world itself, most if not all are dormant, the great storm barrier above providing a soothing blanket keeping the unfathomable lulled and insulated from the rest of Lumenaria, many consider these old gods, most consider it simply dabbling in darker mana like necromantic or chaos magic.

    There are cults that dedicate themselves to dispelling the storm barrier to stir their 'gods' from slumber.

    The only common physical denominator between Eud'Thuldian is that many of the old ones cannot be comprehended and will slay the viewer on sight. Instead they use pawns, lesser servants, and psychic projection to maintain connections and presence with mortal life, many of the servants who see their true form MUST be afflicted with madness to survive.

    Notable Awoken: Dethr'Enda

43. #43Naval Region: The Great Storm Barrierselective

    Keys: Great Storm Barrier

    A massive stretch of ocean leading northwards from the steep incline of Nyatika Plateau all the way to the desolate, frigid mana cap of the North Pole. This dangerous lane of storm is only navigable with special magic or during blind spots relative to the position of the moon and constellations above, to the west is Eurudia and to the East is the Darklands. Below this stretch, deep in the darkness of the ocean, are very peculiar and undiscovered biomasses and entities, such as the Eud'Thulian or elusive underwater kingdoms building up to make their presence known...

44. #44Deep Lumenaria Location: Bloodwellselective

    Keys: Bloodwell, Demon's · Secondary: homeland

    A huge well of blood deep in the crust of the earth, it is said that those that can commune and offer blood will find themselves with power and connections to powerful deities, those that partake can take from the well of power freely to fuel greater magic and cause all manner of chaos on the surface, the more one takes the larger the expectation of return becomes, but taking and giving both in return draws the ire of unfathomably power deities, an honor many covet, even some mortals. Being called to be a Champion of Blood by a powerful deity or demon is a dangerous offer to refuse, many choosing to be 'paid for their service' by never being called on again. Inherently all mortals have protection against these calls of service protected by holy higher power only lost in the face of severe and repeated, knowing lapses of mortality.

45. #45Lumenaria Mechanic: Well of Powerselective

    Keys: Well of Power, Volt, Siegkung, Godsfist, Infinity, Pride's Heart

    a Well of Power, a pressure point of mana, it's said they spawn out of legendary feats being achieved and have the power to shift the whole direction of Lumenaria, from building empires to pausing the flow of mana itself, to merely being a little taller, the birth of a new species or the ascension of a current one, anything is possible with these focus points of mana and a strong willful adventurer to guide them. While there is no history of a great event spawning such points, it's widely accepted they do spawn naturally deep in the crust, and many recorded findings of minor wells of power have been used in the struggle between houses in Drowkin culture, the deep caverns underneath the Darklands, despite the danger from creatures, remains the easiest and fastest way of searching for such focal points. They manifest as a swilring arcane vortex on the ground, usually present for long periods of time before being discovered, the mana has eroded the terrain around them slowly as if water has worn away the surface. These are exceptionally rare and are considered by many to just be legend.

47. #47Lumenaria Concept: Magic And Manaselective

    Keys: Magic, Mana, Demonic

    The mana of Lumenaria is power and momentum by nature and must be directed somewhere, almost anything is possible with a skilled enough caster willing to risk their life experimenting.

    There are spell pools and power applications for every element one could think of and some that are known only to very few or even singular individuals, the largest wealth of magical knowledge on Lumenaria is contained within the unshattered psyche Horatio, The First Demon and the unfathomable minds of the Elder Horror Eud'Thulians, neither of these accessible to Mortals. Many schools of magic have risen and even become forgotten to time and circumstance, that which isn't taught is sure to be forgotten.

    Notes: Mountain Dwarf hunt sources of demonic influence when they can legally get away with it. Nercromancy is considered 100% normal as technically undead should always be tethered to their caster, this is so widely accepted most non-superstitious wouldn't think twice of a bone giant carrying groceries through the town square.
