In ancient times, vampires, elves, werewolves, and humans coexisted peacefully.
Everything changed when a werewolf named Tobias (now a hated name) killed Princess Donella, the only heir to the vampiric throne. Her father, King Hian, traced the murder up to the leaders of the werewolf society. Outraged, he declared war on the werewolves. With the help of the humans and elves, the vampires drove the werewolves underground. The war was called the Sanguine War.
Soon after, King Gydon of the humans, a selfish cruel man, turned against the vampires for now apparent reason. The huge human force drove the vampires, who were still hurting from the Sanguine War, into hiding. This act was called the Strawden Rapine. The elves, fearful of being the next to be attacked, slipped into hiding.
Over the years, the other three races were lost in memory. The humans dominated the planet.
In 2019, the vampires resurfaced, stronger than ever. Angry at the humans, they attacked and killed many. They finally agreed to sign the Treaty of Concord, which gaves them space among the cities and land. Slowly the other two nations reappeared.
The year is now 2089. The vampires mostly live in the cities, with huge buildings and wealthy lifestyles (part of the deal with the Treaty of Concord forced the humans to pay a huge amount of money to the vampires). The elves prefered a more modest lifestyle, taking to more natural towns and villages with less technology. The werewolves reside underground, and are still hated by most.
Recently, the leaders of the vampires have begun to try and make peace with the werewolves, but the process is going very slowly.
Humans, no longer the dominate race, have tried to continue life as normally as possible, but frequent attacks by vampires and werewolves have left them fearful.
Recently the humans are have started fighting back. Scientists have developed humans with mechanical properties; fugitives and criminals are turned into Mechs (mechanical humans). The Mechs are equipped with weapons, and are completely controlled by the humans.
Unfortunately, some Mechs have kept their souls, and are now free of human control.
How much longer will the races be able to live together?
