Clándhia

The Clándhia are the magical species in this world. They used to be the most powerful party in Degheich . Even though they are now rivaled by the Dáotára, their monopoly on magic still makes them irreplacable in Degheich. Like the other species of Degheich, because of their demonic core, the Clándhia cannot survive in the human world. They do have a life span of about 180 years.

Powers

The Clándhia can use magic with their life energy. Their life energy is acting like a battery: when someone uses their magic, some life energy is used up for it. This can be seen as well, because magic always gives off a silver glow. Life energy can also be replenished by resting or sleeping. Using too much life energy at once can lead to physical harm to your body or even death. Each person has around 100 ticks of life energy to use.
Clándhia are classified into different magic classes, that each focus on their own kind of spells. One Clándhia can perform spells from multiple classes, but usually they only specialize in one class.

• Alchemy
• Enchanting
• Evocation
• Biological Manipulation
• Conjuring
• Divination
• Necromancy
• Illusion

History

The Clándhia quickly established themselves as the most powerful species due to their magic. They were the ones that started the world wide calendar and started recording history in an organized way. Around the year 150, the Clándhia had accomplished quiet a lot with their magic and started experimenting more with it. During that, a few Clándhia died because they used up all their life energy. A sort of fear of magic developed and overall development slightly halted. Experiments were made about how far one could go with magic and the tick system was developed. At the same time, another group of people startet questioning where their magic powers came from at all and the The Faith of the Eight was developed into its early stages into a world wide organized religion.
As the Dáotára society grew and developed, the Clándhia got involved into more and more conflicts with them over territory that was previously owned by Clándhia.
Around the year 2000, the Clándhia got into contact with the Human World. They wanted to exchange knowledge and culture. Part of those contacts were the twin cities of Alexandria and Néahdôn, both of which held a library with the most important information in it. Around 2070, there was an internal conflict among the Clándhia whether or not the humans should be given access to magic. To stop the distribution of magic from happening, the part of the Clándhia society that was against it, burned down the library in Alexandria and framed the humans for it to cause the decision to be made to cut all ties with the humans, any portals that were still active at that point in time were being deactivated. Though, there are still Clándhia groups today that think humans should get access to magic.
