Chapter 62: Chapter 60: Wet Witch-Water Wicks

There is debate amongst the scholars of the world as to the regard of the age of the common races of people.

Some argue that all races, Humans, Elves of all variants, Orcs and Dwarves were all created at the same time and place.

Others argue that all species are simply a variant of one core, elder race. Just as dark-elves and elves are beings that belong to the same family, it is argued that humans, dwarves and orcs are also simply regional offshoots of this elder folk, having changed over time to adapt to their environments and the cultural tendencies, encouraged by living in such domains.

A final theory, held to be true by the religious scholars of our world, claims that each of the races were simply products created by collectives of gods, who, unable to decide who would get to make the owners of the material world, split themselves into groups, each of these making their own race to follow and worship them and their ambitions.

From the perspective of magical scholars and people of science, it is safe to say that we simply do not know and that, until further evidence of any claim is found, it is suggested that it is wise to avoid such a topic in any political settings, given its extremely explosive nature.

What we do know, however, is that human biology is dominant. In all instances of inter-race pairing between couples of any common race with humans, the birthed half-breed child, while taking features from both parents, will always have human-dominant features, without exception.

This is what has led to the decline and almost entire vanishing of the dwarven race, with the dark-elves being closer followers towards extinction.
