Legends, whether extraordinary or mundane, represent the lands history and of it's possible future. They all share a common goal to spread a message to the people and give them something exciting to dream about. One legend however stood higher than all the rest, not because of the lesson is told or the adventure and intrigue one finds from such tales, but because of the fact it was true. Centered in the country of Carpathia a legend spoke of three crystals that resided within the land. These crystals were known to have extraordinary powers and said to have been crafted by gods when they forged the world into creation. No one knew of their immediate location but the legend told they could be found within the three oldest natural land formations. Deep within the Mountains of Lebon, the Western Bluffs, and a volcano that sat in the center of the Tropical Islands to the east. Eventually one stone was recovered from the Western Bluffs by the kingdom of Dementia, who used it for evil instead of good. The stone burned through forest lands, decimated towns and villages in its path, and killing those who stood in the way of the twisted king. A king like a god is a scary thing. Species began to take sides in which started a war between the kingdoms. The elves, witches and all other magical beings fought over land, power, and the sacred crystals. The royal army of Amaria failed to act soon enough and a country wide war quickly followed suit. The Royal Guard tried their best to fight off the horde of dark creatures, but it was an ill attempt. Dementia pushed through, and some say, opened the gates to hell itself. In an attempt to rival Dementia, Amaria went to seek the other stones. Another was recovered from the Lebon Mountains and the playing fields were even. But with war already present both crystals were corrupted. They both would soon seek the destruction of magical beings from the land in order to protect themselves but it only made it worse. After 2,000 years of war the stones themselves disappeared without a trace. Years went by and without the power of the crystals and both sides weak peace soon settled in the villages, cities and towns. That was to say, until centuries later the third crystal was found mysteriously washed up on shore by a farm boy in Kendra. Scared that it may be used again for evil, the boy hid it underneath the hay, and did not speak of it. But the witches knew. They came to the farm to protect it. They worried for their kind, when others would use it to corruptly win over the land. The witches took the ancient stone and fled the farm. The boy, who was scared it was a thief, reported it to the noble men of Amaria. This was a terrible mistake. News of the third stone brought soldiers to hunt for it, and kings to want it. Meade halls roared about it but nobody found it. Nobody saw the stone. Now, it is a search for this last artifact, for whoever holds it in their possession has the power to resurrect hell and bring a plague across the lands or unite the land once and for all in eternal peace. Now, ten years after the third crystal was found it is the year 2012 A.T (Amaria Time) and the war is quiet but present. The Vampires want it to protect themselves from the Werewolves, as they are in a war with them as well as to walk in the sun. The Werewolves would like the crystals so they can once become human and the Elves simply wish to keep the crystal hidden away from any who desire to possess it with evil intent. Although the different races have different reasons, the humans are in it too. Some want to rule over all creatures, some just want to keep it hidden away, even study its properties. Now, I must ask, where do you fit in on this story? Are you the farm boy? Or the band of witches? Maybe you’re the demons waiting in their cage to fight once again. Whoever you are, you’re welcome here.
Amaria
Also known as the "Golden City" to Amarian's it is home to many species and cultures. This diverse community is sought to be the most influential and political city known to all. The center for merchant trading, political debates, and comfortable living spaces. Since the beginning of time it is said to be the first city to develop such a history and power. Established since the beginning of man, this power is run not only by its King and Queen, but by a senate of delegates known as the Azdec.

He didn't want to kill his brother for he knew there would be no way around it. So instead he created his own kingdom housed with thousands of creatures and humans who believed the same as the exiled king. It's source of power? Magic. Not only just magic but dark magic.

The following list of creatures varies between many cultures. Some are playable by us and other's are a bit more difficult. Not all of them will be open for play, but I would like you all to have an idea of the inhabitants of the land. Blue - Playable
Yellow - Under certain circumstances
Red - NonPlayable Angel An angel is a supernatural being said to be the fist creation of God. They are attendants or guardians to man, typically act as messengers from God. Angels often appear to people in the shape of humans of extraordinary beauty, and often are not immediately recognized as angels. Some fly through the air, some become invisible, and some can read your mind. They can hear your thoughts if not protected but they can not control it. - Seraphim - The warrior angels known to some, they help keep the world from being overtaken by the demons. They can appear in human form but are naturally beautiful. More of a strong-willed class they always seem to be "in over their heads" with their status and power. They naturally are good spirited though. Seraphim Angels stay in the world of Amaria for they are more needed there. Primarily male.
- Cherubim - Gaurdian Angels as we like to call them. They are ment to guide us and protect us, if we deserve it. Not alot of people in the real world have this oppurtunity anymore. But unlike Seraphim's they can go through the real world to Amaria. Ususally very gentle and female but there are some cases where there were males.
Abilities:- Limited free will. They have to obey the gods as well as the King and Queen of Amaria in some cases. They can socialize with others however but it is usually rare unless for a purpose.
- Healing powers.
- They can choose how they will look but cannot change their appearance after deciding. All Angels are known to be very beautiful however.
- Can be called by those they protect.
- Immortality.
- Flying.
- Teleport.
- Wings are used as a shield and its feathers are sharp at the ends.
Banshee Tradition says that the eerie wail of a spirit known as Bane Sidhe, commonly called the Banshee, announces that someone is about to die.
Her eyes are red from weeping and her hair flows wildly. Bane Sidhe wears a green dress and gray cloak. If caught, she will reveal who will die but not how, where, or why. But she is seldom caught since she sticks close to the wild moors and remote hills. Bastet Bastets are werecats or halfhuman-halfcat. They can change from 100% cat 0% human, 70% cat 30% human, 50% cat 50% human, 30% cat 70% human, to 0% cat 100% human. They are just like cats, but have some human traits. They usually only go into 50%-50% while in anger. They are in different tribes, each tribe has their own traits and yavas. The species involved can be a domestic cat, a tiger, a lion, a leopard, a lynx, or any other type, including some that are purely fantastical felines. Typically, an individual werecat can only transform to one unique feline, not to a number of different species. Abilities:- Can transform by free will.
- Enhanced senses.
- Cat like reflexes.
- Fast runners and talented hunters.
- Prefers being outside, some even living outside.
- Night vision.
Hell Hounds Despite their name, these creatures are not necessarily black, as there have been reports of them being white, spotted, yellow and even brown. The Hell Hound’s canine teeth are often described as being longer than average. These apparitions appear at places that serve as transition archetypes – places such as lonely county rounds, ancient highways, bridges, crossroads, and shallow entrances. Some Hell Hounds are said to guard treasure or sacred places. More often than not, if you leave a Black Dog alone, it will not bother you; but if you attempt to harm one, the consequences are dire. Black Dogs can inflict frightful wounds that may prove fatal. Centaur One of a race of monsters having the head, torso, and arms of a man, and the body and legs of a horse. This half-human and half-animal composition has lead many writers to treat them as liminal beings, caught between the two natures, embodied in contrasted myths, of centaurs as the embodiment of untamed nature. They are thought to carry bows and supposedly are very short tempered creatures, but extremely loyal and protective of those they trust. Abilities:- Fast runners
- Can communicate with animals telepathically, giving them the ability to control them
- Excellent marksmanship
- Mostly forest dwellers but some are known to live in the desert and plains.
Chimera A chimera is a beast with more than one head and each is a different species of animal. It is said to breathe fire, and most commonly depicted as a beast with the heads of a lion and goat, and the tail of a snake. Cyclops Is a member of a primordial race of giants, each with a single eye in the middle of its forehead. Often strong-minded, not bright, and easily destracted. Demon Demons are powerful supernatural beings without the dignity of gods. Ancient demons could be either be full demons or take on human appearances but most older ones prefer to remain in the Underworld in their true form. Those who disguise themselves as human, whether be ancient or a younger demon, are sneaky, deviant, and very persuasive, known to strike deals with those who are unfortunate enough to cross paths with one. But don't become fooled, they are still evil and their intentions are never good no matter how good the outcome of the deal appears to be at first. Abilities:- Limited free will. However because of their severed connection with the gods they are able to freely socialize with whomever they want but they have no choice but to obey the highest ranked demons and most certainly the (devil).
- Pyrokenesis
- Can make deals but usually requires the individual to sell their soul. The outcome never ends well and the demon can claim the soul at any time after the individual's wish is fulfilled.
- Teleportation.
- Telepathy.
Djinn "Dark Genie" It is said that the Djinn are created from fire and can take on any form they choose - animal or human - and can be of any size, including gigantic. Most of them are hostile, although some can be friendly. It is possible for magicians or wise men and women to gain power over a Djinn and use it to perform amazing and magical tasks. But be wary, for even a friendly Djinn is unpredictable, and certainly anyone who breaks an agreement with a Djinn will strongly regret it. Often Djinn take naughty pleasure in punishing people for wronging them, even unintentionally. There are five different types of Djinn. The least powerful is the Jann, next come the Djinn, and then the Sheytans, or commonly known as the genie devils. The Afrits, sometimes called Efreets, are very powerful, but the Marids are the most powerful and dangerous of all. Djinn are generally believed responsible for illness and mishaps. Magicians have trapped Djinn in various ways, one way was imprisoning them in an old brass lamps originally but anything with an opening works. When someone rubs the lamp, or object, three times the Djinni inside will appear and if not already owned by another who hasn't had their wishes granted yet, has the ability to grant three wishes, and obey the one who set it free. If someone was to wish for said genie to be free permanently than the individual will receive extreme consequences, in most cases ending in themselves being turned into genies until released themselves. Abilities:- Must obey individual who conjures them and grant their wishes.
- Can only remain within a small distance from their "home".

- Astral Projection.
For those who are free...
- Immortal.
- Teleportation.
- Superhuman speed.

Dragon Dragons deserve a category all their own because they are beasts found all over the world. But there are two distinct types of dragon: the dragon of the Western world and the dragon of the Eastern world. - Western (Dementia) - These enormous, fire-breathing serpents have scaly green bodies and huge red wings. Greedy creatures, they hoard gold treasure in dens under the earth. Fierce and always hungry, a Western dragon will eat anything but especially likes animal flesh. Most
Western dragons can be found within the canyons, underground, or within deep mines closer to warmer temperatures. They can either be good or evil but most remain neutral.
- Eastern - Compared to Western dragons, these beasts are quite small. Their bodies are long, and they have two horns for ears though they still have impeccable hearing, even more so than Western Dragons. They have no wings, and their soft breath is said to form clouds. They do not roar; instead they make the sounds of thunder and incoming storms yet no signs of a storm is clear when heard. Eastern, or "Chinese" dragons, dine on sparrows or other kinds of birds and fish. They live wherever there is water or colder temperatures and can also swim underwater in temperatures below freezing. They are kind and wise friends of human beings and they are normally associated with good. Eastern dragons are not fighters but will only when truly threatened. Eastern dragons can be found withing the Mountains of Lebon, if one is lucky enough to find one.
Bahamut Bahamut is the protector of all good dragons and a fierce opponent of evil. In addition to being the god of good and metallic dragons, wisdom, and enlightened justice, on many worlds, Bahamut is also seen as a power of virtue in general and as a minor draconic power of the firmament, especially clear and bright skies, whether night or day.
Bahamut is noble, wise, judicious, kind, and helpful, but he can also be stern. He believes in the sanctity of life, and will not willingly kill another creature unless he has no other choice, preferring to topolymorph them into a harmless form instead of slay them. By dragon standards, he is selfless and sharing, being neither vain nor desirous of treasure. Dwarf A Dwarf is a short, stout, stocky and strong humanoid creature. Dwarves are much like humans, but generally prefer to live underground or in mountainous areas. Some literature and games ascribe to dwarves the ability to see in the dark and other adaptations for living underground. Here they have accumulated treasures of gold, silver, and precious stones, and pass their time in fabricating costly weapons and armor. They are famed miners and smiths although, like humans, they specialize in any number of trades. Generally shorter than humans, they are on average stockier and hairier, usually sporting full beards. Though slow runners and poor riders, dwarves are said to be excellent warriors and defenders of their strongholds. Some myths and games also ascribe to dwarves the ability to forge magical items. Although the men are short and stocky, the women are the same size but aren't as rough looking. Most thought to be gentle and giving unlike their fellow males. Abilities:- Swordsman.
- Blacksmiths.
- Night vision.
Elf They were originally a race of minor gods of nature and fertility. Elves are often pictured as youthful-seeming men and women of great beauty living in forests and other natural places, underground, or in wells and springs. They have been portrayed to be long-lived or immortal and they have magical powers attributed to them. Even if some elves are said to be immortal, elves of all other tribes die a natural death after long lives. The amount of years elves live indeed varies enormously, ranging from 100 years to over 1000. It is also known that very often elves end their lives of their own will when they see a necessity to do so or if they think that their life's goal has been reached. Of course elves may also die when they are wounded severely, but in general elves heal very fast when they are tended to quickly. Death on the other hand is nothing an elf fears. The fact of death is interpreted by the elves as a return to nature. - Dark Elf - The Drow, or dark elves are a generally evil, dark-skinned sub-race of elves. After the Great War, a group of elves believed differently about the outcome of the war than the other elves, most seeing the other races as threats and wanted to abolish them, so those who would ultimately become the Drow were forced underground in what is now known as the Underdark, a vast system of caverns and tunnels spanning much of the continent. The Drow have since built a city across the Underdark, becoming one of the most powerful races therein. The Drow have adapted to seeing better in the darkness than in the light after so long, and they rarely, if ever, venture up to the surface, for their eyes are sensitive to the light. Drow are extremely intelligent, charismatic and dexterous, but share surface elves' comparative frailty and slight frames as well as their strengths and some weaknesses. Females tend to be stronger than males but are smaller. Females have more power than males in all cases but war and defense. Drow are characterized by white or silver hair, obsidian black or green-ish skin, and red (or rarely gray, violet, or yellow) eyes, as well as innate spell powers and spell resistance. This is balanced by their weakness in daylight. As a race, Drow aren't necessarily evil but they are very stubborn, close-minded, and are usually brought up to dislike other races. Exceptions exist, but these are highly unusual.
- Night Elves - Have a skin color that ranges from deep lavender to marble white, and they have extremely long (almost lagomorphic) ears, and hair in various cool-toned shades including blue, purple, green, white and black. The eyes of most Night Elves glow with a bright silver light, but in some rare cases a gold eyed Night Elf is born, the gold color signify they are destined for great things. The race is tall, with the men standing approximately at 7.5 feet. The men are always of a slim-waist yet rock-like, extremely muscular build including gigantic bear-like arms and hands. The women are very different, having a slim, athletic, and voluptuous build, but still standing nearly as tall as the men.
- Wood Elf - Elves are mysterious, mystical beings, wrought from light during the birth of time. They are often arrogant and haughty as a result of their advanced age both as a race, and as individuals. They have seen the dawn of time, the birth of man, the changing of countless seasons, all blurred into a history remembered and revered in stories and songs.
They are wardens of nature. Their lives are long and know no sickness or disease. They know much happiness but also hold great sorrow since the Great War. They feel the joy of mother earth and her children but also feel her grief. They are also seen as skilled archers, powerful magicians, and deadly warriors but are known to be quite ignorant to those who seek harm to them.
Abilities:- Healing
- Immortal.
- Animal Communication.
- Herb-specialists.

- Can mimic someone if highly skilled.
- Any birthmarks, scars, or tattoo's transfer over into any form they take, excluding tattoo's with animals.
- Take on the abilities of the animal they form into.
- Can only be born with the ability.
Sprites Considered to be the most common type of faerie, they are known to live in deep woods. Some make their homes high in the branches of trees while others prefer to live near ponds and streams. They particularly love to live in the forests inhabited by tree-folk and other fey and enjoy cool weather and a calm, serene environment. If sprites are spotted, it is a sign that the area has a high concentration of faerie activity.
Sprites travel in swarms and can bite if provoked. They are playful, and at times obnoxious. One of their favorite past-times is pestering butterflies. This is a great game for them as they are able to fly much faster than butterflies and can go greater distances before requiring rest. Generally, no butterflies are injured during the sprites' harassment because of their short attention span. To keep a sprite interested requires constant change and surprises. Too much of a challenge, however, will frustrate them and they will zip away to the next thing that catches their eye. Fairy They are generally portrayed as humanoid in their appearance and have supernatural abilities such as the ability to fly, cast spells and to influence or foresee the future. They are winged females of small stature. Ghost While they can be beneficial, negative, or neutral, ghosts—the spirits of dead people—are often tragic. Ghosts often haunt a location or someone living, and they sometimes appear as a warning. But mostly ghosts are harmless beings that would no more hurt a human than a teddy bear could hurt a fly. Ghosts can also be invoked to help the living, sometimes with mixed results. Gnome Gnomes consist of a number of different types. The most common is the Forest Gnome who rarely comes into contact with man. The Garden Gnome lives in old gardens and enjoys telling melancholy tales. Dune Gnomes are slightly larger than their woodland brethren and choose remarkably drab clothing. House Gnomes have the most knowledge of man, often speaking his language. It is from this family that Gnome Kings are chosen. Farm Gnomes resemble their House brethren, but are more conservative in manner and dress. Siberian Gnomes have been more interbred than other Gnomes and associate freely with trolls. They are much larger than the other types and have an infinitely more nasty nature. It is best never to evoke the ire of such Gnomes for they delight in revenge. Goblin From their birthplace in the Swamp Lands, these nasty, hideous cousins of gnomes have spread all over Dementia. Goblins have no permanent home, living temporarily in old trees and under moss-covered rocks. Reported to be playful on occasion, goblins are nonetheless to be avoided. A goblin's smile can curdle blood, and its laugh can make milk turn sour. Goblins amuse themselves by hiding things, spilling food, and confusing travelers by changing signposts. Griffin A legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. Ast he lion was considered the "King of the Beasts" and the eagle the "King of the Air", the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin is generally represented with four legs, wings and a beak, with eagle-like talons in place of a lion's forelegs and feathered, equine-like ears jutting from its skull. Humans Humans have been around for thousands of years. Although Amaria had been primarily creatures and different species, humans seemed to be the best suitors to rule. Atleast to the Human Resistance it seems that way. They are the only race that doesn't have any powers or can not sense other species auras. Abilities:- Average life span is 98.
- Susceptible to pain.
- Easily detected by other species.
Hippogriffs A legendary creature, the offspring of a griffin and a mare. Like a griffin, it has the head of an eagle, claws armed with talons, and wings covered with feathers, the rest of its body being that of a horse. The reason for its great rarity is that griffins regard horses as prey. Leprechaun A leprechaun is a type of faerie. Their trade is that of a cobbler or shoemaker. They are said to be very rich, having many treasure crocks buried during war-time. According to legend, if anyone keeps an eye fixed upon one, he cannot escape, but the moment the eye is withdrawn he vanishes. Mermaid A mermaid is a aquatic creature with the head and torso of human female and the tail of a fish. The male version of a mermaid is called a merman. They are the watchers over the sea. They originate from the waters surrounding the Tropical Islands. Abilities- They have the power of persuasion and enticing.
- Can survive on land but only until sundown.
- One splash of water and their fin reapers.
- Must keep themselves hydrated.
Nymph A nymph is any member of a large class of female nature entities, either bound to a particular location or land form or joining the retinue of a god or goddess. Nymphs are personifications of the creative and fostering activities of nature, most often identified with the life-giving outflow of springs. The home of the nymphs is on mountains and in groves, by springs and rivers, in valleys and cool grottoes. Pixie They are winged, with pointed ears, and often wearing a green outfit and pointed hat. Sometimes their eyes are described as being pointed upwards at the temple ends. Seen to be mischievous they are only as big as your hand. They are found near the Spring of Life. Treefolk In a faerie community, all trees are magical and sacred to them, however not all are sentient. In fact only a few are found to be. They can take on humanoid shape and move a short distance from their tree, or, in extreme cases, uproot the entire tree and use the roots as a shuffling form of locomotion. In their humanoid form, treefolk are often described as resembling their tree - so that an apple treewoman might have green hair and brownish skin while an elder treeman might have eyes as purely black as berries. They can have trunk like legs, great branches for arms and have wood for skin. Obvious expression on the tree, composed of knotholes and strange permutations of the bark, is a sign that the tree may contain a spirit. Also, checking around prominent trees for roots that are above ground; loose dirt or overturned moss are clear indicators.
