-THE PAST-
It's the year 1337.. it's been 1337 years since the desperate battle for survival against the seemingly endless monster hoards from the Monster Lands started. Humans, Elves, Fairies and Ferals put aside their differences in order to protect their homeland, Abi'il. They gathered all their troops and created defensive lines at the borderes between both lands, but the monster's number were far greater than they expected..
Right after the Monsters broke through the last defensive lines, something incredible happened: The Monsters started to fight against each other. At first, it seemed like the monsters in the back lines were getting bored and started to fight against each other because of that, but soon, the generals of the armies realized that it wasn't just boredom. Inbetween the monsters stood a young man, holding nothing but a shoddy old sword. He was simply amazing. Each time he swung his blade, monsters dropped dead, and what was even more amazing was the fact, that he was riding on a dragon. More over, the young man was obviously capable of using magic, and by combining all these things, he stopped the seemingly sure damnation that was awaiting the people of Abi'il.
After the battle, the generals of the Abi'il army gathered around the young man and they had a long, detailed conversation. It seemed like this young man grew up in the monster lands by himself, and gained the special ability to understand monsters and even bring them under his control, either by negotiation or force. Moreover, the more monsters he had under his control, the stronger he became and one day, he gained the ability to use magic, even though he wasn't a born mage and never attended to a magic academy.
Once the conversation ended, the young man returned to the monster lands, with the remaining monsters following him. Ever since then, there were no monster attacks for 40 years, until the 'Monster Lord', as he was hereby called, was assassinated.
-THE PRESENT-
It's been 4 years since the Monster Lord's assassination. It is unknown who assassinated him, but one thing is sure: The monsters are getting more and more out of control as time passes. There are more and more reports about settlements being attacked by wild monsters, and since the Monster Lord had no offspring, there was no heir to his throne. The day the Monster Lord died though, a strange beam of light shot up to the sky from the monster lands, the monster lord's domain. It dispersed and spread all across the world..
Ever since then, some people were blessed with the ability to communicate with monsters. In truth, the Monster Lord's very essence spread out all across the world, for there was always meant to be one person controlling the monster in order to reassure the balance between the two lands.
Some of these people had a strange sigil appearing somewhere on their body and gained a special ability. They were able to tame monsters by forcing their sigils onto monsters OR by asking them if they were willing to help them. Moreover, they shared a connection. They felt that there were people out there who were just like them, and all of them were attracted to a certain place in the midst of the great forest. Followed by their few, untrained monsters, they made their way through the woods to fulfill their destiny..

THE RACES
HUMANS
Humans are versatile and have no special abilities. They can learn anything and do anything, just not as well as others.
ELVES
Elves have a great affinity for magic and prefer bows over melee weapons. Their main features are their slightly fragile stature, despite their size, since their average is a bit taller than the average man, their long pointy ears and their natural beauty.
FAIRIES
Being not as small as one would expect, by actually having human size, fairies have quite a few special advantages. First, their wings, unlike other races, fairies can fly around as they like, of course, they can get tired from flying and, since all the fairies are female, they aren't made to be warriors. Instead, they use their natural abilities of using nature and healing magic, and even elemental magic.
FERALS
Ferals are humanoids with animal traits, like ears, eyes or claws, they don't have many magical abilities, but most of them are physically stronger than the other races. Also, by using their animal traits, some of them might fly or jump way higher, maybe even breath underwater.
_______________________________________________
MONSTERS
the usual monsters in Abi'il are the following:
Wolves (Strength)
more dogs than wolves, these beings aren't much of a threat..
Goblins (dark element)
Small.. cute.. and annoying as hell, Goblins are the masters of mischief, if you get a plant pot dropped onto your head, it was a goblin, if something bites you in the butt just for fun, it was a goblin, if someone hid your favorite spoon, it was a goblin. They live in forests, towns and villages and are more of a pest, rather than actual monsters..
Pixies (magic, light element)
Far relatives of the fairies, pixies are miniature sized. They are overly active, happy, friendly and curious. They have, REALLY, healing abilities and, unlike other monsters, they are capable of actual speech.
Sprites (nature element)
Said to be the souls of smaller animals that couldn't accept death, sprites are on the rather naive side. They are clumsy and, besides their minor nature magic, ridiculously weak, but, to everyone's surprise, they taste great. However, they tend to stick together in groups consisting of around 7 to 10 sprites.
Bears (vitality, Earth)
Being around 1.40 meters tall, bears can be quite more dangerous than a wolf. Having large claws and fangs, they prove to be a formidable foes, and even better allies.
Mantis (agility, Nature)
Even though the mantis seems to be very fragile and weak, he makes up his weakness with superior speed.
Flying Fish (Dexterity, Water)
Yes, flying fish. Living outside the water, flying fish are able to hunt smaller insects with small, fast water balls they spit out. Once flying fish start to dry out though, they have to return back into the water. They are normal fish size.
Fire Imps (magic, fire)
Small and annoying, fire imps can wreck havoc all around your wooden cottage. they love setting small things on fire, including hay, plants, and pants.
Icey (vitality, ice)
as tall as an elementary student, iceys can prove to be quite tough and strong. They also emit cold all the time, being perfect for warm days. NOTE: icey's don't melt even if attacked with fire, but they can be hurt quite a lot by it.
Zappy (wind, lightning)
small and cuddly cute, zappys can be quite deceiving because they LOVE to zap things and, even though it seems like they use their wings to fly, it's actually wind magic that makes them hover.
ELEMENTS
Depending on the elements of the monsters you tame, you get stronger magical abilities and are even able to strengthen other abilities, meaning that, the more you tame, the stronger you get. i'll be keeping track of it.
