The History of Arcane Realm so far
In antiquity: Jinn and elementals were the sole sapients until the arrival of the Deities and Demihumans from alternate dimensions. These included Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Goblins, and Naga. However the events of the Ghulat Wars lead to the extinction of these non-spirit beings.
In antiquity there were many civilizations that were great but after the Ghulat Wars are not. The Jinn had the first civilization and had magically advanced tech that their descendants are rediscovering. Other species emigrated from the otherworlds, brought over by the deities of these realms. The elves had arguably the highest culture until they were thought to be extinct until roughly 200 years ago, but much more simple living. Dwarves were discreetly the great engineers that are behind many artifices, especially later ones. Humans also migrated from these realms though they were mainly second class citizens for most affairs.
Current Species & Cultures
Descendants of humanity exist as three varieties: the short mountainous Hauflins, tree dwelling Homins, and the matriarchal Amazons. Descendants of demihumans have become the Fey species while certain animals have acquired sapience to become Magical Beasts species. Spirits have also maintained in this world as well. And finally, a machine lifeform known as anthropoids have been unearthed from the ruins of the old world.
Needs & Relations
Species vying for power generally got it through finding ancient artifices and mining resources to power them or reverse engineer them to make new technology. The other races especially those of fey, magic beasts, and spirits want to dissolve their forms of social hierarchy and exploitation the natural world for methods that work with natural processes.
