Tuatha
The Progenitor Race of Elves and Orcs
One of the first mortal races, they fought with The Pantheon to establish order. They were the first mortal race capable of magic that rose from the power of souls alone, and not by the hands of the Theoi. The first were born from the blood of the Menaðíos spilt during the war, the blood was mixed with ash from the battlefield and a host of souls drawn to the power of their blood formed it into new beings, the pale Tuatha.

History
The first were born from pools of Menaðíos blood and ash that covered the battlefields of the First War. A large hosts of souls were drawn to the power of the blood and with the ash they formed the Tuatha. They became an instrumental part of The First War, together they were capable of matching the overwhelming magic of enemy Menaðíos and their ability to smell out magic allowed them to both track down and avoid the Makhai. After order had been established, and the war ended, two things happened, first, the Tuatha began to settle and start simpler lives. They settled in the eastern region of the Ecíos desert and called the land Mag Mell. Secondly, four Tuatha heroes were blessed by the Ðíos for their part in establishing order. One's lineage was blessed with light, one with dark, one with great warriors and the final with eternal royalty. Theses descendants became the elves. Not long after settling into their new home, they were met by a host Fomori travelling from the void, after altercations they fought, leaving a permanent scar on the relations between the two races.
