* '''Humans''' are largely clustered in the oceanside town of [[Hopeport]] and the city of [[Crenopolis]], though they have also established a small village in the southwestern reaches of [[Hopeforest]].

There is another magical force which manifests as [[Corruption]], twisting the land and its inhabitants into dark and monstrous shapes, though it is not clear at this time whether this represents a corruption of the extant elemental magics or an entirely novel form.
 
Outside of elemental damage dealt during combat, there are a number of commonplace and utilitarian spells which can be cast by the magically inclined, including:
