The History of Valine so far
The island kingdom of Mithlerien is the most advanced civilization on Valine and it flourished initially from the elven refugees left after they were nearly wiped out. That initial colonization by the elves over 200 years was a time, by elvish standards, of unprecedented growth and expansion as they rebuilt their species' population, yet it is only a dozen elvish generations ago. However, the effects of the lightning fast human expansion and disasters such as famine and disease, along with the isolation of Mithlerien after the Troll Mark plague has led to sufficient loss of written and oral records as t leave the secrets of early Mithlerien a mystery to most.
Current Species & Cultures
Mithlerien is somewhat less diverse than the rest of the world due to its isolation. Elves are the majority of the higher classes, maintaining theruling families dating back 700+ years. Humans are numerous but seond class citizens in most areas - still viewed as plague carriers. Tieflings remain discriminated against by nearly all. Numerous halflings and dwarves. AOGs (Advanced Operation Golems) more numerous here than anywhere else in the world, but still a very small population. All 40+ other sentient species present within society with pockets of larger populations around, but mostly the diversity of the other species remains limited to the larger cities and their surrounds, with a few exceptions. Especially in the wilder areas of Mithlerien, small settlements of the rare sentient species can be found, mostly keeping to themselves.
Needs & Relations
Elves - Ruling class, elite. Others - workers, foundation that supports the mundane aspects of society allowing them to focus on the important things.
Halflings/Gnomes - Natural technologists, alchemsists, innovators of new advancements. Benefit from a rich and structured society and material support from the ruling elves.
Dwarves - Sages, scholars, recluses. Tendencies towards teaching, religious occupations and schools/universities. Also skilled creators and manufacturers. Find an advanced society a boon where they are both needed and welcomed.
Humans - Industrious but dangerous. Too numerous for other species to feel comfortable with, especially in the last couple of centuries since humans (by reputation at least) spread deadly plague throughout the world. Yet, too useful (and too ubiquitous) to really control or be rid of.
Tieflings - Seen as devious, deceitful and reckless. Not to be trusted. However, these attitudes are less in advanced society like Mithlerien than elsewhere, so those tieflings that choose civilization over solitude can find a home here where discrimination is lesser.
