"During the battle of the races, which was caused by the meddling of Spatitempus, the space-time elemental, he helped those that worshipped him and brought misfortune to those that didn't, this was a breach of the oath all 103 elementals made, as such he was hunted down by the elementals to split his being into two, but before they could, he had a child with a mule, yes you heard me right, a mule, no one knows why he had a child with a mule instead of a more prestigious species though some scholars say he did it so the child could avoid the recognition of the elementals, while others believed it was for a greater purpose, none of the theories have been proven true or debunked. After the child was born, Spatitempus lost most of his powers and changed his name to Debilis in order not to stand out and live the rest of his days as a mortal. His child however hated how they lived, he moved out of their house at age 15 and started a dynasty that would rule the world for 3 centuries before the elementals noticed his dynasty.
The dwarfs were the first people to gain a gift, and the gift was called "cudereillum", it appeared as an ethereal hammer that would never break and got its strength from the user or by being heated, the reason that the elementals gave the dwarfs powers was to fight the dynasty, they couldn't do it themselves because they agreed not to with the ethereal power Lucis not to mess with its creation for 4 centuries.
The rest of the races got thier own powers, dragons gained the power of "Contieruntites" which was the power to change any enemies killed by the dragon into a weaker form of it, and the enemy becomes a ethereal minion of the dragon, the minion disappears after 5 hours.Well would you lok at that its almost time for lunch" *bell rings* " well i guess thats my cue, get out!
