A species is a group of organisms of which two individuals can produce fertile offspring. Mezia is inhabited by many different species; some are strong, some are fast, some are intelligent, and all have a role in Mezia's ecosystem.
Chosen Species
The Ancient Gods chose fourteen species to become the custodians of Mezia when they left.
- Drevoz were chosen by Numilla to protect forests and all plant life.
- Dwarves were chosen by Onathar to gather and refine the planet's metal ores.
- Elves were chosen by Luma to spread light to Mezia's darkest corners.
- Gnomes were chosen by Imanzir to harness the power of lightning.
- Gravellon were chosen by Bael to build mountains across the land.
- Hefili were chosen by Xuanbao to commune with Mezia's spirits.
- Humans were chosen by Diov to accelerate change and adapt to a new world.
- Kumimanu were chosen by Emaris to thrive in the harshest conditions.
- Lillits were chosen by Jamaral to survey the skies and read the winds.
- Orcs were chosen by Zydrunas to hone their bodies to the extreme.
- Tamberji were chosen by Hypatia to study the minds of all creatures.
- Veistra were chosen by Vix to embrace fire in all its forms.
- Vizyama were chosen by Myrkur to provide shade and travel as shadows.
- Zorrah were chosen by Asuanna to delve deep into Mezia's seas and lakes.
These species were each chosen to play a role in protecting Mezia. When the Ancient Gods left and the Behemoths appeared, it was the chosen species who fought back and held their ground against the Behemoth onslaught. Despite their best efforts, the Behemoths killed many and claimed most of Mezia for themselves. Only pockets of civilization remains, often heavily fortified and closed off to the rest of the world.
