Thank you for those who commented on my chapters, really appreciated since I need you guys to point out my mistakes in these posts and well on to the results

Well you guys just committed a last minute change and really want to make me work, anyway actually I was working on some background racial lore and your guys choice sorta coincided. Since the vote was mostly split between making me work and the aelfen(poor beastman) I will do something incorporating those two. As a teaser you guys get these lore posts that should tell you what will happen in the future, if not go to school. As an fyi I will will for right now be choosing aelfen focus but any large vote changes may be considered depending on how things progress.

Aelfen:These people are often found dwelling in areas of high magical density which encourages a high magician potential among them along with increased lifespans on average though this does not mean that the other races cannot live as long since the people regardless of race usually cannot live past 1000 at the most in extreme cases. The matter of lifespan is simply less of an issue among the aelfen due to starting off with high mana concentrations in their bodies. Besides this propensity for high magicians the aelfen do not utilize ki as heavily as others as this is a harder aspect for them to utilize surprisingly despite the high amounts of latent mana in their systems. Perhaps a balance created by the gods, a matter that cannot be denied due to the known councils held by the gods in the distant past as revealed by priests of the faith. Aelfen high teir magicians are amongst the most powerful among the races thanks to their years of dedicated study and practice, often on the monsters that dwell near their lands; a side effect of the mana concentration. The stories of aelfen magicians destroying entire armies and cities are a documented cases amongst the archives of nations with deep roots in the past and the most powerful magic artifacts are often aelfen works in cooperation with dwemfen craftsmanship for the base objects used.The most powerful warriors or mages may ascend their bodies to states beyond most mortal beings as High Aelfens whose bodies are in a state of such pure mana as to kill any others who attempt to hold such power. Even simple handshakes must be taken with caution and give a whole new meaning to test of strength. The stories of whole armies falling to high aelfen is not a matter that can be called humorous as these beings are truly the most capable of attempting such feats. Rolling barrages of spells unleashed by aelfen are a sight to behold on the battlefield not to mention the rumours of artifacts crafted in secret.

Dwemfen- These beings are often found living in areas of stone, both above and below ground. The natural senses of these people are attuned to the earth along with an affinity for fire makes them master craftsmen. Dwemfen crafts are almost uniformly of high quality and materials due to a comprehensive mining and craftswork implemented by the authorities of each of their keeps. Dwemfen physiology has developed strong hands and feet along with a large lung capacity and natural darkvision. These traits along with a powerful natural mental sense to both detect ores and know the position of magnetic north only aid to their mastery of subterranean and mountainous regions. In battle though dwemfen are not as agile or particularly naturally fast they have strong endurance and a sense of balance making it hard to displace a dwemfen that does not want to move. On the matter of keeps the Dwemfen people are highly communal, rare is it for there to be small villages to be present instead of at least towns or often keeps(known as Karaks by the Dwemfen); a mix of castle and city on a massive scale not seen by the other races of the lands. No sprawling human royal capital or aelfen spirescape could hope to match the keeps of the Dwemfen. Rarely in recorded history has a dwemfen keep been lost in it’s entirety, often natural disasters or invasions are not of a scale enough to destroy a keep thanks to sheer size and architectural supports in their keeps. Dwemfen are able to build fast, strong, and enduring structures making them a race sought out for construction work especially among the aelfen who collaborate with magic on many projects between the two races. On the subject of magic the dwemfen practice a mix of ki and magic for the use of crafting and enchanting objects, a true masterpiece of dwemfen work is usually a mix of nigh indestructible materials, craftsmanship and sigils while the raw power is usually done by aelfen enchanters who are more specialized in sigil enchants compared to the dwemfen. It is a symbol of long trust and friendship that the two have many jointly made arms among the royal families and councils that govern their respective lands. Ascended Dwemfen gain unparalleled endurance and senses making them almost impossible to kill even if caught unaware. An ascended Dwemfen with full equipment is a mobile castle able to repel any who dare to attack. These beings have held single handedly entire invasions at bay when standing in valleys and other restrictive terrain. These beings have also been rumoured to craft divine rank arms though none know and even if the aelfen do know they do not speak of such matters to outsiders. If any such items actually exist then perhaps whole armies may be lost against only a few of their wielders.
