Introduction to Miragia
No matter how weird they are -
every being craves the same in the end.
A home and a purpose.

The World
"Be careful when you travel to faraway lands - the very laws of nature may change around you."Magic on Miragia depends on the Elemental currents and varies according to the place where one finds themselves. Most species evolved to have an innate attunement to the currents that are dominant in their home lands. However, using them may become difficult when they travel to a different environment. Where opposite Elements meet, portals are likely to open up. They can lead to other locations on Miragia or even to entirely different worlds. A common belief among Miragia's inhabitants is that the more outlandish creatures arrived via those.
The Inhabitants
The People
Miragia is home to a large number of sapient species, due to the geography that separated them during their evolution.Single-Form Mammals
Those encompass the Elves and the Humans who live on the two largest landmasses. They have rounded skulls with small noses, and hairy scalps. Their skin is mostly bare.Reptilians
Their skin is covered in scales, and their faces are elongated and streamlined. There are two major branches, the bipedal lizardfolk and the legless serpentfolk.Shapeshifting Mammals
The Werewolves, Fauns and Vampires living in the north are rather similar to Humans and Elves in their basic form. Additionally, they can take on a second, animal-like form that may be very different in size.Merfolk
The most prominent difference to the other species is that Merfolk live underwater. Their appearance can vary wildly, from those resembling Humans with fish tails to aquatic reptiles and squid-like beings.The Creatures
A number of beings stand out from the regular people, flora and fauna. They may be known for their unusual appearance, behavior, or abilities. In many cases, they are surrounded by legends, rumors, and speculation regarding their origin. Some are feared, some are hunted, some are worshipped."Did this come from a portal or a laboratory?" - "Run now, questions later."
