*****
In the fictional world of ITHRA,which lies in the vicinity of the great Nebulae of Krashak ,has 15 different races maintaining complete stability over the common masses and protecting it from the cosmic forces outside of the planet ITHRA.
The entire planet is ruled by three factions namely the The Holy Faction,The Demonic Faction and The Demi Human Faction comprising of 15 different races all together.
Out of the three factions ,the Holy and Demi Human Factions are allied together against the Demonic factions ,however the Demonic factions make use of the humans volatile nature and cause havoc amongst them by enticing them with slave trading, blood rituals,slaughter and illegal prostitution, despite it being prohibited.
To protect the Holy and The Demi human alliance ,"The HOLY-DEMIHUMAN ALLIANCE"
or H.D.A was established to maintain peacefull relations between the common masses of both the factions and promote brotherhood amongst the talented younger generation.
The DEMONIC FACTIONS on the other hand continue to plan world domination and complete monarchy over both the major factions of the world of ITHRA,by submitting themselves to the cosmic forces.
They want nothing more than War or Bloodshed.
But most of the law in the world is maintained and goverened by the UNITED FEDERATION OF THE DEMIGODS(UFOD).
There are 15 seats reserved for the 15 different races out of which three of the seats remain empty due them belonging to the Demonic factions.
The remaning races hold considerable power which is later explained in the next part of this chapter.
*****
There are 15 major races of the world of ITHRA,with other subdivisions in them,and the following list describes each of them thoroughly according to their power level and HIERARCHY.[Minor-Moderate Spoilers]
15.[HUMANS]-The humans are the weakest and the most volatile of the races inhabiting the world of ITHRA.The humans hold significant power over the other races due to them being favoured by the Gods and Elementals of ITHRA.
They possess aptitude in both combat and magic and is regarded as the most balanced of the races present.
The humans are mostly hated by the other honourable races like the elves and Demi humans due to their crafty and vile nature,as a result they become enticing and easy targets for the Demonic Faction to corrupt.
It is prophesied that if the world is to be destroyed or plunged into a new era of improvement, some day,It will be initiated by a human.As a result,despite being the weakest of the race they are held under close watch of all the powerfull races of the world.
The thought of erasing the race from the face of ITHRA was brought up as well but was firmly rejected by the Goddess ITHRA herself due to being duty bound to the primordial Gods of Creation.
The most circulated and popular language is the Human language due to their large population all across the world of ITHRA.

Specialized Element:Multi-Elemental.
Hierarchy:KINGS ***** 14.[DEMI-HUMANS]-The Demi humans are generally a cross breed between the humans and beasts.They also possess greater body stats and better aptitude in the Arcane arts than humans. They are one of the most honourable and straightforward of the 15 races only being second to the elves. However,despite being capable they can only weild their racial attributes which restricts them at only one elemental,whereas the humans,although rare ,are capable of weilding more that 4 major and 3 minor Arcane attributes. Due to this limitation,most of them also practice body strengthening arts which along with the magical arts make them excellent Magic warriors and Assassins.Not that the humans aren't capable of weilding both,it's just that they make better ones. They are looked upon favourably by both H.D.A and UFOD. Home territory:Milis Seats in the FEDERATION:1 Specialized Element:Uni-Elemental. Hierarchy:KINGS ***** 13.[BEASTS]-As the name suggests ,the Beasts are the most simple and straightforward of the races ,with its hierarchy levels at two extremes points. Most of them possess greater physical capabilities and better sensory perception but the only drawback would be their reduced intelligence. Most beasts cannot speak any language and can only communicate through beast contracts.However the beasts posses greater capabilities to evolve and as they progress ,their intelligence increases as well helping them take pseudo-humanoid forms which sometimes cause discrepancies among the beasts and Demi humans due to their similar physical features. They have very close associations with the humans and Demi humans alike serving as beast companions in their early evolutionary years and powerfull and loyal retainers in future. They are looked upon favourably by all the races including the Elementals. Home territory:WILDERNESS(Forests of Eragor) Seats in the FEDERATION:1 Specialized Element:Uni-Elemental Hierarchy:BEAST *** 12.[DEMON BEASTS]-As the name suggests,the Demons beasts are Demonic variants of the beastial race. However they are not included in the Demonic Factions due to their similar nature to the beasts.Most of them being mindless beings. Due to being tainted by Darkness mana ,all of them experience tremendous amount of bloodlust which results in the seasonal beast tides every year. Due to being tainted by the darkness mana,they have their intelligence and potential growth reduced and only amount to mindless beasts meant solely for slaughter. Home territory: Forests of Eragor Seats in the FEDERATION:0 Specialized Element:Darkness Hierarchy:------------------- ***** 11.[SUCCUBI]-The SUCCUBI are the female only race full of alluring females with over exaggerated physical features. Other than specialising in the darkness element ,they have profound mastery of illusion related spells and are powerfull tricksters,however the downside of them would be their below average physical capabilities which mostly occurs in their lower ranks. The Succubus Queen Lilith,however, is rumoured to specialize in the berserker class. It is also rumoured that they are actually virgin maidens and only allow their female mates to mate with them and produce babies through artificial rituals. Other than those,they are known to be quite cruel to men of all races as they suck out all the life force out of the males through their dream spells and leave them to die. It is said that not even the Dragon King is immune the charm spells of the Succubus Queen Lilith. There are male Succubus as well called the Incubus ,but most of the are killed on birth within the Succubus Domain or sold to high ranking males and females of other races as sex slaves. Only the truly lucky ones manage to escape to the Domains of the Half-breeds and lead peaceful,somewhat human lives. Politically they are said to be quite the neutral species and don't interfere in the worldly affairs.As a result they are only included as proxy members in the UFOD represented by the Succubus Queen,Lilith. Home territory:Succ(Demon Territory) Specialized Element:Darkness,Illusion Seats in the FEDERATION:Proxy Hierarchy:Normal Succubus ***** 10[HALF-BREEDS]-The half- breeds are said to be the race of the disgraceful as they are actually cross breeds between two different species. However they have higher physical capabilities and magical talent in the Arcane arts than normal species. Their domain mostly serves as a place for banishment or a place of refuge for such species. They have amicable relations with both Demi humans and beasts but are frowned upon by elves and Dragons alike as the half breedsl variants of their race are also banished to such lands. They are quite the neutral race and believe in leading peaceful and fullfilling lives rather than lives of war and blood shed. They are looked upon favourably by Both the HDA and UFOD. Home territory:Mor Specialized Element: Multi-Elemental Seats in the FEDERATION:1 Hierarchy:------------------- ***** 9.[DWARVES]-The dwarves are short statured humanoid looking species inhabiting the world of ITHRA. The dwarves are a race possessing tremendous affinity for Earth,metal and fire elements and also make excellent blacksmiths. Due to their short stature they are only capable of weilding The Guardian class and make excellent tanks in battle. They are also a straight forward and honourable race and are very simpleminded and hence are looked upon favourably by the HDA AND UFOD. However due to their rash nature and tremendously straightforward attitude they become quite a difficult species to order around in battle. The Dwarves have amicable relations with the elves and dark elves. The Dwarven King is said to be the best blacksmith in the entire World of ITHRA. Home territory:Out skirts of Eleven Territory. Specialized Element: Multi-Elemental Seats in the FEDERATION:1 Hierarchy:Novice ***** 8.[DARK ELVES]-As the name suggests they are dark variants of the Elven race.They are super fast,agile and have higher physical capabilities and higher magical aptitude than most races. It is said than even a little child of the dark elven race have better physical capabilities than the average demon beast or human. The males and females of the Dark even race are extremely handsome and alluring respectively hence are subjected to discrimination and the unlucky ones are often sold as sex workers or slaves. However despite possessing such abilities they are hated upon by their counter parts,that is the elven race ,for weilding the shadow elements. They make excellent Assassins and are quite apt in their information gathering ability. It is rumoured that the Dark Elven Queen also holds the Title 'AMARESATSU' ,also termed as the "The Shadow Queen". They have neither aggressive nor good relations with both HDA and UFOD. Home territory:Out skirts of Milis. Specialized Element:Shadow, Multi-Elemental. Seats in the FEDERATION:1 Hierarchy:Dark Elf< High Dark Elf ***** 7..[ELVES]-They are the Counter parts of the Dark Elven race and are the closest species resembling the humans. They have excellent physical capabilities and enormously higher magical aptitude comparable to Dragons or even the Elemental King.They also make excellent Rangers and Archers and are quiet capable of weilding the wood and light element .They also specialise in healing magic and make excellent healers.They also make good alchemists and are capable of weilding more than 5 elements. The elves are the most honourable of the races even excluding the primordial dragons due to their heartfelt loyalty to mother nature. And due to their near perfect physical features and higher body stats they are quite the arrogant bunch and are imperialists in the real sense. They hold bad relations with the humans and other races but have very good relations with the dwarves due to their similar upbringing. The Elven Queen is actually the Half-blood-sister of the Dark Elven Queen. It is rumoured that the Elemental king weilding the Element of Light is actually an High elf.
