➸ The Study
There is nothing unusual about the door to the Study. In the coziness of Home, it looks exactly like it belongs. The doorway across from the dining area is made of the same wood as most of the home, and its curved door blends in well with the soft welcome the house in general impresses.
Inside, one gets the impression of a room well used. Small nicks and drops of ink have been pressed into the wood of the few desks drawers, and sidetables that fill the Study up, and there are marks in the wood floor that suggest movement once upon a time. Despite this fact, a vast majority of the books lining the full shelves seem blank.
Many of them will stay that way. Thus, characters are more than welcome to use the study as it's intended: to keep note of their experiences or what they discover in this world. If they do that, simply leave a top level comment below with the character and the focus of the book in the subject title. (ex. "Rachel - Diary") Filling out their book simply means commenting to the top level.
A few books, however, will seemingly fill up on their own in time as the characters explore more of the world, encounter different creatures, and speak with various people. It even seems as if there's information on them...
These books are as followed:

Artifacts
no subject
The town changes through the ages to accommodate its citizens. It doesn’t change to accommodate a new age. It changes to bring about a new age. See: Domina
➸ Jade Egg
By taking a stone formed through the ages inside the earth and shaping it into the source of all things, the earth's creative power was captured inside.
See: Mekiv Caverns
➸ Wheel
Even the longest roads are rutted by the hundreds of wagons that traverse them. Roads remember their travelers, and wagon wheels are reflections of those memories.
See: Luon Highway
➸ Firefly Lamp
One poet wrote that all of history comes from lovers' whispers. It was a poem of lovers talking of love and the future, under the cool light of fireflies in the midsummer night sky.

A lively town frequented by traveling merchants and entertainers. The outskirts boast a church with a fabulous view of the countryside.
See: Colorblocks
➸ Mekiv Caverns
This limestone cavern was created by underground currents. Over the centuries it was hollowed out, and pillars were created. The cavern is made up of many levels.
See: Jade Egg
➸ Mekiv Caverns
This highway was once traversed by merchants and entertainers, but the highwaymen have stopped all traffic. Some say that one of the Wisdoms lives nearby.
See: Wheel
Bestiary
➸ Beasts
➸ Rabite
A round bunny-like monster. Watch out for its biting attacks! The most common variety comes with soft yellow fur and its tail a bright lavender. Occasionally, you can spot another breed with pale purple fur instead. They have a natural resistance to spells affiliated with Wisp and Dryad, but are left open to those of Shade and Aura. Not that it's usually necessary for such a small foe, although there are reports of Rabite growing to half the size of a bed...
Found in: Domina
➸ Demi-Human
➸ Chobin Hood
Diminutive mice-like beings who distinguish themselves from more law abiding individuals in their race through their hoods. A master-bow hunter group. They look pretty cute, but they can be pretty mean. While their accuracy is top notch, they're slow to get their arrows ready and aren't very fast on their feet. While they have a natural resistance to Dryad, in turn they're weak against Aura.
Found in: Luon Highway
➸ Narcissos
The clan these monsters are often part of are obsessed with staying in shape by practicing their own martial arts. No known language of theirs has ever been recorded. It seems that their primarily method of communicating is with their body and combat. If beaten in an honorable fight, they've been known to reward their opponent with fighting gloves they've apparently taken from other human opponents. Covered in a pale green fur, they walk on two clawed feet and sometimes reach the height of two meters. Their strength is best against Aura and Gnome, but doesn't do well against Dryad and Salamander.
➸ Sahagin
Originally a purely aquatic race, over time, they have evolved to become amphibious and have become a part of the demi-human category once they began to live on land. This shows in their physical appearance as round fish-like creatures that maneuver on a pair of finned feet. The majority of their bodies are covered in lime green scales, but there are patches of orange that make up their fins, eyelids, and lips. Colonies of them have become frequent in many places, from caves to deserts, and they have shown themselves to be quite resourceful. Despite their watery origins, they seem to be fairly successful blacksmiths and their spears hold up well. However, unfortunately they can be fairly territorial and don't respond well to outsiders. Fittingly, they have a strong alignment with Undine, but are weak to Jinn.
Found in: Mekiv Caverns
➸ Goblin
These short humanoids reach a meter and a half, and are covered in a soft tan fur. Their large pointed ears give them good hearing. While they have fearsome teeth under flappy bowls, they don't often use them and instead prefer to utilize weapons and armor that they've scavenged from places. Despite being very much a warrior race, they have strange religious beliefs which dictate that 'evil doings' are the key to life. While they find strength in Shade and Dryad, they don't fair nearly so well against Wisp and Aura.
Found in: Mekiv Caverns
➸ Plant
➸ Mushboom
A cute mushroom that attacks by kicking and by throwing its own cap. This cap is often found in colors of bright pink, purple, or orange, and helps contain the paralyzing powder which leaks from the hole at the top of its head. If necessary, it can squeeze its cap down and release the powder to temporarily stun a foe for a few seconds. Caps can be regrown in the case that they are lost or damaged, but the process takes some time. These creatures have a strong connection to Shade and Dryad, but are unfortunately weak to Wisp and Aura.
Found in: Mekiv Caverns
➸ Lullabud
These long graceful creatures occasionally go unnoticed because of how still they are in the wild, appearing as regular plantlife. When foreign creatures are too close, however, they lash out. They're capable of releasing a dizzying spore which throws people off balance. While their roots are mainly used for movement, they can also lash out with them and bite with the bud-like beaks at their "head". Despite their strong defense against Gnome and Dryad, they can't do much against Salamander or Aura.
Found in: Luon Highway
➸ Shrieknip
A giant floating radish that shoots its leaves and seeds like missiles from its strange contortion of a face. Despite its absurd appearance, its shriek has been known to stun people, leaving them defenseless for what could be vital moments. Predictably, its strengths are with Dryad and Gnome, but Aura and Salamander can vanquish it quickly.
Found in: Luon Highway
➸ Oddity
➸ Poto
A really sleepy-looking monster that attacks enemies by licking them. Its tongue has an impressive length, often able to stretch by a couple of kilometers. While this is its main line of defense, it can also headbutt or rapidly kick those it views as a threat. Considering it grows to the knee-height of most humanoids, this makes it easy to topple larger foes. When relaxed or happy, an aromatic oil is released from its skin. This can be harvested, either from a living or dead Poto. It is strong against Undine, but fails when confronted with Jinn.
Found in: Mekiv Caverns
➸ Spiny Cone
A shadowy creature. Shoots out thorns and poisonous air. For all that it appear similar to some sort of squid, it has no trouble making its way through air. Dryad and Jinn allow for its troubling attacks, making any who aren't careful prone to falling ill, but Aura and Gnome provide solid defenses against it.
Found in: Luon Highway
➸ Aquatic
➸ Iffish
A colorful spiny fish that attacks with its body's own water bubble canon. When near water, they can store water inside their bodies and use them to attack other people with. Their spines have a nonlethal poison in them that simply sends people who touch it into a fever. While they prefer to be at home in salt water, Iffish can also float through the air. Unsurprisingly, they're best when against Undine. Jinn is their weakness.
➸ Pincher Crab
Large crabs with pink shells that can grow to the size of dogs. They seem to come in two varieties. The first are fairly harmless, and in fact their shells shatter easily to even the slightest pressure. The second are much more aggressive and grumpy, shooting out their pincers to attack foes. Predictably, all variants have a strong strength with Undine, but not to Jinn.
Found in: Mekiv Caverns
➸ Reptile
➸ Rattler Boa
A rattlesnake that wraps around its enemies to cause great damage. Despite being referred to as both a rattler and a boa, this snake also displays traits of the cobra and possesses an impressive threat display with its small head spines and massive hood. Unlike cobras, however, they are not venomous. Their growth can rival adult humanoids very easily, and there are few creatures they won't consider a food source. Their weakness lies in Aura, but they make up for this with their strength towards Dryad.
➸ Tonpole
A cute little tadpole that is trying its best to be a good monster. A good meter wide, they are covered in bright pink scales on the top and lighter tans on their stomach. Their primary mode of transportation is hopping forward using their lavender fins. While their weakness to Shade and Jinn is unfortunate, they make up for it with their strength against Wisp and Undine.
Found in: Mekiv Caverns
➸ Arthopod
➸ Stinger Bug
It attacks with its scythe like forearms and the stinger attached to its back. Some weaker specimens can be found to be the size of a small child, but, more often than not, they are found to be much larger. Some reports even say that they grow to the size of human beings. For all that they boast a wide variety of strength against the elements of Wisp, Dryad, and Jinn, they are terribly weak against Shade, Aura, and Gnome.
Found in: Luon Highway
➸ Aerial
➸ Bloodsucker
A large bat with deep blue fur whose wings span half a meter each. They attack with ultrasonic waves which disorient any who hear it, stunning them in place or wracking them with pain so that they can't move. This leaves foes and prey vulnerable to being preyed upon by the creature. Shade and Jinn are what they're strong against, and Wisp and Gnome are their weakness.
Found in: Mekiv Caverns
➸ Chocobo
Nope, not the same chocobo you know! These large birds are large enough to be ridden, both the yellow and black variety, but wild ones are rarely ever tamed and are in fact quite aggressive to the concept of people approaching them to start with. Their leaping kicks can leave serious injury. Wisp and Jinn are on their side, but Shade and Gnome are not.
Found in: Luon Highway
➸ Garuda
A large bird-like creature that attacks with its sharp beak and claws. Their plumage is quite striking in shades of red, green, and blue, and thus are valued for anyone who has the skill to take them down. As is typical with their type, they are weak to Shade and Gnome, but strong when it comes to Wisp and Jinn.
Found in: Luon Highway
➸ Needlebeak
A ball-like bird which attacks with its sharp beak. While their dusty pink or brown plumage can help them blend in with their surroundings occasionally, the brilliant blue of their inner wing feathers often gives them away. The holes their beaks leave are notorious giveaway to their territory. As with many, they find strength with Wisp and Jinn, but can be done in simply by Shade and Gnome.
Found in: Luon Highway
➸ Dragon
➸ Land Dragon
While not sporting wings, these dragons have made the earth their home and show it in their enormous frames which tower over almost all humanoids at three meters high. Their tough scales are a dusty brown and spikes decorate their body from the head down to their tail although their soft purple bellies have smoother scales. They have a tendency to go berserk in battle. Aura and Gnome lend them strength, although the same cannot be said for Dryad and Salamander.
Found in: Mekiv Caverns
➸ Undead
➸ Skeleton
A fancily clad skeleton knight, horns are often a part of their skull and all flesh has rotted away from their form. While their mail can be salvaged, their weapons are often rusted and jagged from time and aren't recommended. Often, they're armed with a small shield, and still seem to remember some fighting tactics from their time as living beings. Their array of strengths is impressive, spanning through Shade, Dryad, and Gnome. However, all of this is offset by their weaknesses to Wisp, Aura, and Salamander.
Found in: Mekiv Caverns
➸ Demonic
➸ Imp
A tiny demon with a tiny spear. It can use some magic too. Round and soft with purple and pink skin, they often prefer to traverse using their yellow bat-like wings. Their spears are rather sturdy for their size, and not to be underestimated. For all they find strength with Shade and Jinn, Wisp and Gnome are their weaknesses.
Found in: Luon Highway
➸ Morph
➸ Denden
A winged snail that can move faster than its ground-crawling kin. Its bright blue and orange shell is meant as a warning to others, but also serves as a channel through which it can blow out spells when its squishy body withdraws into it. It's also quite sturdy, allowing it to smash into people without much damage. While weak to Aura, it makes up for it with a strength along Dryad.
Found in: Luon Highway
Magic
Elementals
Mana Spirits, known also as the elementals of the world, are magical beings representative of the elements which make up the world and all of the creatures within it.
The Elementals are descended from the Mana Goddess, the embodiment of the creative and destructive forces of Mana, each being born from the light which formed the respective elements of Fa'Diel.
All people and beasts within Fa'Diel feel strong connections to certain Elementals in particular, although only two at the most. However, with that connection, they also feel the effects of the opposing Elementals.

Leaf Book
➸ Entry 1
I think a lot of the people passed through to explore things! I'd like to go explore things but all the things are gone.
Some people stayed longer than others! There was a big earred guy especially who came in and was really upset about all the books! Really upset!
Σ（￣□￣；） I didn't touch the Masters' books so it's not my fault. Everything is all messed up. I liked the glasses lady best. Her and the weird metal guy were very nice, but I'm worried for the metal guy. Where are his eyes??? (❁°͈▵°͈) Are they the dots? That is way too many eyes I think.
I like that home isn't quiet anymore. It was very lonely. I hope these new people will make good friends. (◍ ´꒳` ◍)b
