Flaerin

The Flaerin are a magical and mysterious race in Sildova. They take the form colorful and majestic armored bugs. Their population is split into three distinct groups: Common Flaerin, High Flaerin, and The Flaerin Queen. Each group has very different sizes, lifespans, and magical abilities. The group also form a hierarchy, with the Queen at the top and Common Flaerin at the bottom.

Characteristics
Flaerin bodies are as varied as (and resemble) insects. The physical traits that connect them are their colorful bodies and their armor, which is actually a part of their bodies. Common Flaerin average about 4-6 inches high and have limited ability to heal, transmogrify, teleport, and spontaneous generation. Most live only a few decades. High Flaerin are about twice as tall as an adult human, can live for centuries, and are usually appointed to be guardians of other races. They're well versed in magic, more than any human could hope to be. They can do everything Common Flaerin can plus create magical barriers, unlock someone's true potential, and create Flaerin Blessings.

The Flaerin Queen (Raevirs) is said to be immortal, and Her powers limitless. In actuality, She is only biologically immortal, and Her powers have some limits, though no one knows exactly where they end, though it's known that she has the power to create life. She takes the form of a sandy gold worm, miles long, and no one has ever seen all of Her at once.

History
Many thousands of years ago, Empryn, a mysterious man who fell from the sky as a child, was showing signs of becoming an incredible sorcerer. As a show of this power, he became the first human to ever create life through magic when he created Raevirs, then much smaller, about the length of his arm. The two began something of a fucked up romantic relationship. His power came from the fact that he was chosen and created by The Gods to be King. He was defeated by his mentor, and as he was being sealed away into the Spectral Gem, he channeled a fraction of his Light Power into Raevirs, causing Her to grow to gargantuan size.

As an act of revenge, She drained the part of the ocean the mentor was from, dooming his species. After this, She caused much destruction throughout the land, then appeared to the people as a hero, bringing people back to life and repairing this horrible damage. From this point on, Raevirs became something of a deity to the general populace, and for centuries, that's how people knew Her. She created the High Flaerin as a way to micromanage the different races of Sildova, and the Common Flaerin as a way continue building good PR and to ensure no one would ever doubt her right to rule.

She enjoyed her position for a very long time, but then eventually her power started fading. That's when she began a grand plan to unseal Empryn.
