Ourania's POV (telling the backstory)
——————Centuries ago, every race of species in Pritoaan and the humans from Earth lived harmoniously together... That all once fell apart when the past king of the Dark Elves caused a disastrous war that broke out. This great ordeal caused many to migrate or loose their lives, making me, Irina, Ze'ev and Lotus to get involved to stop it. We came to the conclusion to split the island into separate parts for the various groups of species; we shared a part of the island with the Myconids, Faeries and Nymphs since ours was the largest, while others had their own separate domains and parted seas.
Now, you might be wondering what happened to the Dark Elves' king? Well, long story short, he either passed away and went missing; never to be seen or heard of again.
Of course, the rest of the dark elves today are safe — partially safe with a horrific reputation of being known to be just as callous as their "beloved" past leader was. Because of this, me and the gods and Irina had no other choice but to keep the dark elves the furthest away from the other races who are already just as separated in their areas as they are to prevent any conflict to happen once again.
This rule and arrangement also separates every race of species from associating with different races of species, even till this day. Ze'ev and Irina; the most powerful out of us five created a guarded portal that is rumoured to be hidden behind a waterfall in front of the Myconids' grassy areas.
This cavernous portal leads straight into Earth, where anyone is forbidden to enter through it when it's guarded by two tall Myconids throughout the day. The portal would only open at the break at dawn and throughout the night. But not many people know that. Unless I hope not..
Luckily, every race of species are allowed to associate with us gods and goddesses as we are the exception. We provided guidance and safety throughout the years, with praise and care from them in return — And the rest is history...

Elves story (Fayra's POV)
The morning sun's rays seep warmly through the curtains of my windows. I figured Irina wants me to be productive this bright and early as usual.
I'd yawn and stir up on my makeshift bed, ready for a long day ahead of me. I would change out of sleeping garments, to go about my regular day freshly and slip on my outfit for the day.
The sound of a familiar man whistling snaps my mind fully awake before I could rush to the ladder, knowing who it is at the entrance below."Mornin' Sandy!" It was Lysander; the friendly travelling trader who finally arrived to my area after a month or two during a itinerant around Pritoaan. I could tell it takes about a couple months tops to make a whole rotation through the island while visiting every species' domains on foot. Poor guy.
