"At first they lived as any other beast, but soon they grew to be worthy of the title of man." -Unknown
Long before the great empires and civilizations of Ebena reigned and toppled, the mortal races Ebenians know of today were no different than the other beasts that prowled the world. It was only through eons of patience and careful interference from the Proto-Kin that life was able to take on the gift of sentience. In doing so, the ancient world witnessed the birth of six dominant races that continue to thrive well into the present day.
