TLALLI-DEX
The world of Tlalli was discovered by an advanced race of beings that seeded humanoid life throughout the galaxy. The Seeders discovered that the world of Tlalli was populated with an intelligent bird like species called the Miwa. These people used unique crystals that made up much of the land of Tlalli. Through the crystals the Miwa could do fantastic things. They called the ability to tap into the crystals - affinities. The Seeders were fascinated with the Miwa and their unique relationship with the crystals of the world. The seeders used their own DNA to make a hybrid Miwa/Seeder race. The new race looked more human than the Miwa had. They still had wings and could fly, and more importantly to the Seeders they could still tap into the fantastic crystals of Tlalli. Over time the original Miwa died out leaving only the hybrid race. This race has enhanced eyesight, is lightweight, and strong. They have wings and can fly. They are the most intelligent on the planet and the most sensitive to the crystals.
The Seeders placed other races of humanoids on the planet, the Olinka – a race of humans that were altered with the DNA of lizards and snakes. These people have thicker skin with patterns like that of some reptiles. They are warm blooded, had enhanced senses of smell and eyesight. They have two eyelids and slit like pupils that allowed them to see in dim light. They can stand higher temperatures than the normal human. These people cannot use the power of the crystals.
The Camerians – are a race of people altered with cat DNA – They had retractable claws and their skin had patterns like that of some cats. Their eyes look like that of cats with slit vertical pupils. They were not covered in fur however. Their eyesight was enhanced along with their sense of smell and hearing. They are stronger than the normal human and more agile. These people can also use the power of the crystals.
Sensitive Humans – altered to be able to tap into the crystals like the Miwa. They are similar to normal humans. Their eye color reflects the affinities they have.
Augmented Humans – These are like normal humans in appearance but are bigger and stronger. They cannot use the power of the crystals. They have developed a highly technological society and are noted for their mechanical expertise. The other races on Tlalli call them barbarians, but they are not barbaric. In the past the barbarians raided the other nations on Tlalli and got the reputation for harsh tactics. Now they are a peaceful people who mainly float the seas in merchant ships bringing goods to many far shores.
Leonacra – a large intelligent cat with long appendages around the neck. They are telepathic communicators and can also use the crystals. They have made peace with the humans of the southern nation of Parashan and work with them when ever possible. They look like large black panthers with collars of white and red-stripped frills. The Leonacra do not have a country.
The Seeders – Left the world of Tlalli and never returned. It is known that they populated many worlds with humanoid intelligent beings and opened portals to those worlds tying them to the world of Tlalli with the crystals. No one knows how many worlds they seeded and only a few know how to access the portals to those worlds. The Miwa found portals to several worlds via trial and error.
Civilizations have risen and fallen since the Seeders last set foot on Tlalli. Over time the peoples of Tlalli have mostly forgotten about the seeders. They are a myth to them now. Only a few still know the history of the world and the changes the Seeders made.

High level can shift earth (earthquake), levitate objects using air pressure. Drain can kill at this level.
The red crystal affinity will enhance all elemental spells or runes. A high affinity with the red crystals can create energy for use in devastating weather, earth, fire, or water magic.
