THIRD EARTH

PROLOGUE:

In a world where man is not alone, in a time before the technology has evolved beyond black powder and superstations there are being s who have evolved from nature in the same way as man had, some have over time become extinct others wiped out through genocide those race that remain have grown strong, too strong to be wiped out or conquered. The races break into five empires each with its own races sub-species, to the North the Avian races dwell their mastery over flight unparallel by that of any of the other races, mostly Bird Species these beings are proud and stubborn yet loyal to those they choose to call friend.

Next is the Scallies who dwell in the south where the climate is hot and more to their likening rarely leaving their territory they are suspicious of trespassers onto their land and are not above taking slaves, these individuals are extremely possessive of things and individuals they lay claim to.

In the East the Marine races occupies the vast harbours and rivers that occupy much of their lands, they are free spirited yet fireclay protective of their domain having little tolerance to those who would invade their lands.

Upon the West is the Empire of the fur's whose diversity is greater than all the other races combined, both proud and strong they are highly superstitious, their cities stretch for miles on as well as under the ground, their harbours boast great fleets of varying vessels from commercial and trade to military and pirate.

However their greatest highlights their alliance with their human nabours, freely allowing them the humans to settle in their lands and vice versa, the strength of friendship between these two empires is said to grow from strength to strength both willing to undergo any hardship for the other.

Finally at the centre neither north or west, either south or east, is the land of the Humans, a strange furless race that unlike the other races lack the ability to command even the simplest of magic or use the most basic of spiritual power, but what they lack in this they make up for with initiative and creativity, first and only to master the creation of alchemy (Chemistry) from which was made Black Powder and primitive muskets and cannon.

Of the races these are as fickle and prone to both positive and negative qualities of all the races holding the potential to great Good or even greater Evil.

The Human race upon this world hold a unique quality in their DNA it is unknown why or how this came to

pass but they are highly fertile to the other races, a child sired by this race is guaranteed to be pure blood of the race who was breed with them.

Something that has come in useful during the current age when the scaly empire unleashed a curse that even to this day remain a mystery but their effects dire, of the four other races only the human race remained unaffected. Whether this was their lack of spiritual and magic channelling or whatever the reason is they remained immune to the effects that rendered all males infertile, and so began a race to enslave the humans but this proved harder than expected, and few humans where enslaved most who were taken died unable to adjust to enslavement or took their own lives.

Fearing extinction the furry empire brokered an alliance vowing to help protect the humans in return for a chance to form relationships and possible chances at breeding , this proved to be a great success and the off spring that were born where also highly virile and shared an immunity to the dread curse.
