   Keys: The Great Silence, Great Silence, Heart Attack of the World

   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. #3Species: Catikanselective

   Keys: Catikan, Sabertooth Women, Sabertooth Woman, Catikub

   Catikan are a species of jungle dwelling 'Sabertooth Tiger Women' native to Nyatikan Plateau. Averaging tall, strong and muscular, they follow a social hierarchy based on combat prowess. Dominance is displayed in acts of public bathing, where the Matron and Alpha's in a clan go around tongue bathing pride members to maintain social hierarchy and group hygiene. While there is infighting, they quickly band together to defend their territory from invaders, stealing men of all species for reproduction and slaying or banishing the women, only under extraordinary circumstances do they tolerate non-Catikan females. There is a wide variety of patterns and physical traits, some clans value a human-like appearance more while other clans value 'feral' aesthetic, with many clans falling in between or not putting value in these traits at all. Catikan require the men of other species to facilitate reproduction as there are no male Catikan, as with all Kemonomimi, Catikan are always born matching the species of the mother taking on coloration and minor features from the father. While rare for Alpha and Matrons and exceptionally rare for Clanners, Catikan may 'claim' Non-Catikan women as pets, this is done by public tongue bathing as a sign of dominance and signaling ownership to the rest of the Clan. Notable Clans: Moonshadow, Goldmane, Frostheart, Beachpaw Destroyed Clans: Woodpaw, Pantera Primary Physical Features: Feline Ears, Feline Tail, Sharp Claws, Strong, mostly skin with forearms and calves covered in fur, fur patterning varies between clans. Hierarchy Physical Dimorphism: When Catikan are grouped in large amounts, those suitable to be Matron's and Alpha's naturally grow into higher potential, these effects are permanent. Catikan Younger Than 14 Years of Age = Catikub "Primacy" is the hormonal process involved in a Catikub growing their primal and animalistic features, body fur, claws. Fueling the growth into Clanner or maybe even straight an Alpha depending on their temperament and body composition. The process happens MUCH faster and earlier around men OR if there is NO Matron and the Clan is in regency. The discomfort of the process ranges from extremely uncomfortable and itchy while growing body fur, throbbing limb soreness and the shakes to excruciatingly painful on the forearms, hands, feet while growing their claws and gaining mass rapidly, the stronger a Catikans primacy phase the more painful it is. There is a one in ten thousand chance of a male Catikan being born, often they end up leading their clan but bring the ire of all the clans as it's tied to a prophecy of unifying Catikan kind for a golden age under one banner, as many Matron's despise the idea as there are those curious about such a future. Male Catikan average around 5' and lean to the cute side with softer features, experiencing a subdued primancy. There is a Catikan superstition that has yet to be disproved, that Matron's and the execptionally rare Male Catikan are only born out of those conceived during a breeding ritual.

   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.

Finding great joy in feats of acrobatics and leaning into her natural Catlike reflexes, she became quiet skillful over the years, slipping out of trouble many times and always evading detection after growing up. Ultimately she has never suffered any serious consequences and still views her adventure as a game.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This goes so far that she refuses to seek them actively, for if they were truly fated, they would fall on her lap.

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, Vainiantress 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.

30. #30Lumenaria 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.

    Summary of Vulg's History: Life in the Darklands was hard, for the most people those on the surface of the Darklands work together to survive, yet when Vulg was sent out for aid in the aftermath of a Chimera attack, he thought he found help. Instead he led bandits unknowingly to his home, he watched them destroy, take and consume everything. His father killed for game, his mother and other village women raped openly and loudly, with the weight of everything on Vulg, he ran. He ran far, he didn't even think where too, he just had to be away from the screaming of his mother. He drifted through life in a bitter haze, all his life he had heard tales of the Adventurer Guild's of Eurudia, and how they help everybody. He traveled slowly to such a land, evading hardship, barely scrapping by, eventually he worked on a pirate crew promising travel to an Eurudian port. He went with, he served the ship dutifully, taking part in many raids along the way, getting his first few innocent kills in to keep the captain and the crew happy with him. By the time they had reached the port Vulg was already changing, when he arrived in town with the crew and saw the state of everything, despite how much bigger and amazing everything was there compared to where he'd come from, he could still see the huge disparity between people. Just days after his arrival into what used to be called Seaside, Balrung arrived with his ilk and attacked the fort city. Still a boy and having enough he was nearly executed when he stood up with a look of hated and rage at Balrung himself, yet little did Vulg know, Balrung say in Vulg the same as he saw in himself. Letting the boy tire himself out against his massive form, Balrung gave Vulg mercy and safety.... 26 years have passed since, Vulg has served Balrung to the hardest of his capability, but his conviction never really burned until he finally took the journey to witness Southgate, or Reacher's Hollow, for himself. And when he saw the massive logistical feat that was Southgate, the final piece fell into place. This whole time, the Guild could have come to try and stop himself or Balrung, and they never did. They had all they needed to do it, and hardly did more than walk convoys to the east toward the Desert Kingdoms. When Vulg left the Darklands he hoped to find the Guild and it's Adventurer's to join them and make a difference, but by the end of the journey he's now come as an enemy of the guild. He has one singular burning conviction, obsolete the guilds power and show them they were never needed at all. In the time since serving under Balrung and becoming truly unhinged, Vulg has personally killed over 2150 enemy combatants over the last 20 years, with a half dozen S-Rank Adventurer's under his belt.

    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.

    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.

He holds deep resentment for himself over his mothers death and believes his siblings left because of him, and that his father secretly hates him too.

45. #45Deep 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.

    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.
