Hey! Just thought I'd explain how my world works. It's kind of complicated, so bear with me.
It's a partial allegory, which means it's parallel to the Creation account up to a point, then I just kind of started throwing my zany ideas in just for fun. 
In the beginning, Quintor created _________(searching for a name). He shaped the plants and animals, mountains and valleys, lakes and rivers with a word. When He had finished, He created people to live there and bring Him glory. Six races now populated _________: The Humans, the Elves, the Tulirans,(TOOL-ih-rans) the Raechal,(RAY-kal) the Haethor,(HAY-tor) and the Nanivis.(na-KNEE-vee)
Before the world and the races were created, Quintor made the Guardians. They were beings with special powers to help and protect the world He intended to create. They can take on the form of any of the six races or even an animal.
When the head of the Guardians saw everything Quintor had created, he grew jealous and persuaded a third of the Guardians to join him in a rebellion. Quintor cast Cae'ach, the traitor, down to ______. When He saw the havoc (I love that word
) Cae'ach caused, He gave the people magic to defend themselves. To the Humans, He gave magical gifts. (invisibility, etc.) To the Elves, He gave agility, speed, skill with weapons, and heightened senses. To the Tulirans, He gave the ability to control the spirits of trees. To the Raechal, He gave mastery over all animals, especially horses. To the Haethor, He gave skill with forging metal and working stone, and to the Nanivis He gave skill with building and navigating ships, and sometimes to control the weather. And to those who discovered the power of Dragons, the mightiest of all created creatures, He gave the greatest powers of all: Mental telepathy with other riders and sometimes with other dragons, access to the hidden world of magic, including difficult healing spells, and others.
But . . .
Cae'ach seduced the people with offers of greater power. If all the people had stayed true to Quintor, perhaps the Treacherous could have been defeated. As it is, a great and sometimes unseen war is going on, and will until the end of time: a war for domination of the world.
Well, there it is. For more info on the races, see the topics I will be submitting soon in Peoples, Races and Tribes. Names are subject to change.
