Familiars

Familiars is a universe. The world of Azelas is rich with magic, governed by different courts of higher entities that shape and guide the world below. Rich with culture from varying races, Azelas is home to over 12 billion mortals across 6 major races.

Azelas
Azelas is governed by several realms of divine beings, all of which govern different aspects of mortal life on Azelas. While it is unknown to mortals as to why the celestial realms support mortal life, it is understood that a majority of divine beings are benevolent and have the desire to guide Azelas towards a positive path.

Celestial Realms and Magic Law
There are (number) celestial realms, each of which contain a separate court that governs a different aspect of mortal life on Azelas. Each realm has its own laws on interacting with the mortal world, depending on how necessary it is to interact with the world below.

Elemental Realm
The elemental realm is the key to magic. As elemental magic is a form of core magic, a majority of other magic forms stemmed from elemental magic. Because magic is frequently used by the mortal world, the elemental realm does need to be able to interact with mortals. However, the Elements cannot leave the celestial realm and as such, each Element has an idol - an immortal creature that remains on Azelas as a spire of their power.

Elements and Idols
In its early stages, Draconic Magic was considered a school of elemental magic. However, it has since been classified as its own school of magic and is no longer an elemental magic form. There has never been a Dragon element nor idol.

Aspect Realm
The Aspects are figures that control parts of mortal life that do not relate to magic. These are considered patron gods, and are worshipped regularly - though in times of need, it is their power their truly shines. The Aspects lend their magic directly without needed to exist in the mortal realm. While their power is immense, the barrier realms filter down their magic into a less chaotic form. While not their intended purpose, the Aspects are also used to count the years as their power cycles follow a regular shift.

Higher Saints
Higher Saints are patron gods that represent each race. They are former mortals chosen by their race to ascend beyond mortality and watch over them. The significance of a Higher Saint is up for interpretation, and generally are only important to the race they represent. The power of a Higher Saint is determined by what their people decide they govern and are capable of.

An example of this would be Rahk'Ha, the Avian Higher Saint, versus Oderys, the human Higher Saint. While Rahk'Ha is considered all-powerful and all-seeing to the Avian race, Oderys is more of a courtesy than a god.

Locations
Azelas is comprised of 7 major locations. Each kingdom has its own ruler, laws, culture, and history. In the case of Odok, The Skylands, Khimsek, and Kireski, the majority population is non-human.
