An idea I've had to make it more fantasy. It pretty much abandons all the concepts previously put in place.
All I really have are descriptions of races. Skip down to races to avoid tl;dr intro

Spoiler: click to toggle


Story Idea
Two human nations, Aarni and Bastion, are at war. They've been at war for months, possibly several years. Warfare between the two countries is waged by machines which are fueled and funded by industry. The effect of this is causing great damage to the earth and is even disrupting magic itself, which draws its energy from the earth.
This causes concern among the magical nations, all of whom wish to do something, but none of whom have the power to anything alone. However, poor relations between each magical race makes any sort of alliance nigh on impossible.
If something is not done, magic itself could be wiped from the world, which in turn could mean certain doom for all who dwell upon the planet.

Plot proposal:

The gods created the world, bla bla bla. Animals and plants and so forth.
Then it came time for them to leave, and they created five magical races to acts as shepherds, keeping balance of the world.

Eventually a species of animal called humans evolved to have mental capabilities on par with those of the magical races. They were even almost indistinguishable from the Lelwyn.
The humans progressed speedily and are now matching the power of the magical races with machinery, industry and technology. However, such things work against natural harmony and it is up to the magical races to put a stop to it.

Unfortunately, the Humans are powerful and all five nations would need to come together to stop them. But years of feuds and battles have left these nations secluded and in poor relation with one another. Furthermore, some races such as the Gnomes have made peace with the humans, abandoning their sacred duty for coin and power.

It would be up to ragtag protagonists to save the day!
