Elf
Elves are resistant prickly magic adepts who live extremely long. The long life spam led to low fertility rate which meant their population is relatively small compared to other dominant races in Ayna. Elves are known as not only as a capable magic users but also archers. It is said that none can best a trained elf in archery.

Elves used to be the rulers of northern hemisphere. Arthar Empire, the dominant superpower in northern hemisphere before Great Demon Crisis, was dominated by elves despite their relatively small population size. Although they were minority in every province of the Empire except Clarissa, majority of the ruling elites were elves. The imperial family of Arthar is elves and over half of noble houses were elves. They used their gracious but powerful magic maintain peace and justice in northern Ayna for centuries. They also maintain magic infrastructure that benefited North Ayna greatly. So, elves used to be considered noble and wise people and respected all across Ayna.

But everything changed when Great Demon Crisis hit Ayna.

Tiefling
Tiefling are semi-demonic beings who came to Ayna along side other demons during Great Demon Crisis. Tieflings are derived from human bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look human. However, their infernal heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Tieflings have large horns that take any of a variety of shapes: some have curling horns like a ram, others have straight and tall horns like a gazelle’s, and some spiral upward like an antelopes’ horns. They have thick tails, four to five feet long, which lash or coil around their legs when they get upset or nervous. Their canine teeth are sharply pointed, and their eyes are solid colors—black, red, white, silver, or gold—with no visible sclera or pupil. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include various shades of red. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, is usually dark, from black or brown to dark red, blue, or purple.Unlike other demons who were immersed themselves in death and destruction, they showed empathy and morality. While other demons cheered on the brutality of Vexx, but they looked at it with disgust. Mass defection of Tieflings from the Demon Horde started when Vexx killed their commander when he protested against brutal tactic of Vexx. They joined Ayna Alliance and played great role in defeating Vexx's forces. After the war was over, they were allowed to settle in Ayna as a reward for their service.

But, the discrimination against Tieflings still persisted. Many people in Ayna viewed them as just another demon. Several Tiefling settlement program on fertile land failed as the locals resisted any attempt to settle them. So, they were driven to slums of major cities or toxic wasteland created during the Demon Crisis. But, many Tiefling just say,

"We are at least not in Hell."

and work to survive in these dark corners of Ayna.
