Beniya - an ancient and nearly unknown race they delve in the art of druidism and nature. The Beniya lived in secret Eons, just watching everything. Not much is known about them or their history, for they are very secluded, normally sleeping and sending their minds through nature to examine and find enlightenment. Very spiritual creatures, they have a mastery of mental abilities that other races have not achieved.
The Beniya are divided into 5 different social classes. Each class has 5 representatives, making 5 councils of equal political power that make all ruling decisions for the race.
- The first class of the Beniya are the Marel. Workers, artisans, and craftsman, they excel in building, designing, and mining. They have a mind for creativity and are always gentle and peaceful. Many are wary of these as they are known for having an abnormal frequency of mage children, especially with land and rock powers.
- The second class is the Rian class. The warriors of the Beniya, they are trained from birth and skilled in all arts of weaponry. They specialize in communications with animals or beasts, excelling in the art of war involving animals. It’s not uncommon to see the Rians ride gryphons into battle and hurl spears and arrows down at their enemies. Most of this group is made up of different members of the dragon clans. The Rian do not need to restrain their animals or companion beasts, for their bond with them is so strong that the animals would give their lives to protect their masters, and they would do the same in return.
- The third class of the Beniya is the Yume class. They are the spiritual leaders of the Beniya, serving as preists, and are almost completely pacifistic. They are also the scholars and keepers of records, having a massive thrist for knowledge and understanding.
- The 4th class are the Riyami class. These are the Beniya who’s years of meditation have given them immense spiritual insight. They are akin to the ancients, in that they can absorb the extra energy of living things around them without harm. It is similar but not exactly like the ancients in that they do it automatically, without anyone realizing it, but don't need the excess energy to survive. The Riyami are able to retain that energy for later use. The Riyami are not strong when it comes to physical combat, but they are able to use the energy they collect for an array of spells and energy blasts that are enough to pummel any threat.
- The fifth and final class of the Beniya are the Kiron class. They are the elite of the Beniya warriors, skilled in both physical and magical combat, though often shunned and feared by the other classes. They are considered the Beniya’s outcast and last resort when it comes to battle. When a Beniya is training to be a Kiron, he or she is taken to the deepest mountains in the Beniya lands where they are placed in a pitch dark training area. They are trained for 5 years against other trainees, monsters, or obstacles their masters set against them. During those five rough years, they learn to use their other senses and not use their eyes. It is to the point where they can sense things and events around them before they happen. Once their training is complete, the final step is taken. Every single Kiron warrior is blinded ritualistically with a spell that keep their eyes closed. This allows them to acutely train their spirit sense to ‘see’ things around them as if they weren’t blind. In fact, they can see more than what a normal person can. They can sense souls themselves.

Dragons: Coming soon, *trying to find becky's number...*

Unborn: Those who should have been and could have been, but are not.
In Chaos, when a creature dies, its soul is dispersed into the stream of energy, which flows through the world. Every soul that enters the stream is spread out in the current, intermingling with other souls before being reformed into new souls, carrying pieces of many. However, after times of war and mass carnage, the flow of energy from souls entering the stream increases in something like flash-flood circumstances and occasional overflows happen. Many souls caught in the overflow are torn only partially and are unable to dispersed completely before being reborn. Now and then, when over half of one soul remains in a creature to be reborn, an unborn is created.
These are beings which feeds on the soul of other to sustain them and their bodies, like vampires of soul energy. They are forced by something like a compulsion to find and stay aaround those who were born with the other parts of their souls. All unborn feel a drive to complete themselves before returning to the stream of energy. Unborn have the normal instincts of any living being, appear as a normal creature, and often live among people without them knowing it. Some unborn just live like that forever, hidden among the general population, protecting and watching over the people whom share their souls, waiting until those they watch over die so they can become whole again. Then again, there are many unborn that will instead want to simply kill those with fragments of their souls, so that they can take back the soul part. Still other unborn will become deranged and violent, wandering and living to cause havoc. All unborn are a bit deranged and mentally unstable, the severity of their maddness depending upon how much of their souls have retained. An unborn's physical form will invariably be that of their body before they died last, with only slight changes ( such as different hair or eye color ). They also have a second form, which is a representation of their soul and mind. If an unborn is deranged and violet, his/her soul will be twisted. They also may have memories of their previous life, again according to how much of that soul they have.

Kitsune: Almost as old as the gryphons, the kitsune have been around for time uncounted. They have never been a very large race, and their numbers have only diminished since the Collapse. They are creatures of balance and specific codes of ethics, similar to the elves. Some are blessed with an alternate animal form, shaped like foxes with nine tails, varying in size from a normal fox to five feet high at the shoulder. Most, however, only have a human form, usually with fox-like characteristics, such as ears and tail. They are strong both physically and magically, with heightened senses and a natural affinity with nature. They normally live in small tribes or clans and keep to themselves.

Demi Gods: While there are disparagingly few gods left in existance, those that do still exist have had many children with lesser beings. These are known as demi gods and goddesses. They are incredibly powerful but not omnipotent or omnicient like the gods. They all lead lives of their own, some taking advantage of their powers and some ignoring them altogether. Some of them, products of very odd gods, are of species as yet unidentified and individual.
