History
The human race once ruled the world, it had spread to nearly every corner of it. They controled the land, the sea and the sky. Contries controled vast amounts of land, they fought, they made peace and they traided. The humans of old pushed the other races into obscurity and the ones who decided to venture out into human society were merely seen as other weird humans. Organisations such as the SCP foundation protected defined the view of what was "normal" and protected the rest of the world from anything that differed from that view. That was until an event caused the human race on the planet to go extinct. Luckily for the human race the SCP foundation forsaw this possibility and had placed contingencies it the upper atmoshpere. These reminance of the human race landed in what was once Australia and have grown together with the other races that survived on the planet. Eventually, over generations the old world view of normality was shattered by many of the new human kingdoms, allowing the incorporation of other races into the human societies.
