The Kritenose

The Kry Before there was Terinta, before this very universe existed. The gods created a world, the First World. What eventually arose from this planet was a race of beings that were powerful and great. Like the gods they had immortality, they understood much more than any mortal could, and they are nearly omniscient and omnipotent. They are the greatest of the four races, and the most influential. Their very presence can radiate with power and energy, and they are the watchers of all creation. They are the Kry!    The Kry are by definition ultimate beings of power and wisdom. Few things are higher than the Kry. They are superior in everything, and know almost all things. Their beginnings are steeped in mystery. The Kry are the most mysterious race known, not just to Terinta but the whole of creation. Some worlds see them as dark evil beings, while others see the Kry as entities of light and joy. On Terinta the feelings can go either way, some see them as evil, whi...

The Phoenix Phoenixes are the second most mysterious race on Terinta. They are best known for being born out of fire or volcanoes, and for being giant flaming birds. However this is just the tip of what a phoenix really is. What is most unknown about them is that they are actually shapeshifters. They can take the form of anyone, and like to do so when they meet new beings. Phoenixes are masters at mind reading, and so as such they like to take the form of family and friends they read in other’s minds. Despite this bizarre invasion of privacy, phoenixes are very kind and understanding beings. They were the ones who helped the fire dragon’s master their scorching breath, and they helped humans by teaching them how to build and grow as a race. They were seen as angels of mercy and peace to many, and their story of rebirth has influenced and inspired all who know them. Phoenixes mostly live in seclusion, and are complete pacifists. While they can fight, it is almost unheard of. The p...

The Conchingda (Pronounced Kon-ching-da) The Conchingda is a small creature that stands on all fours and have large pointed ears. They have big eyes and a dog like appearance, along with a tail that can be curly. They are considered to be one of the cutest races on all of Terinta. Despite their cute appearance the Conchingda can prove quite formidable if they have to be. However the Conchingda are by their very nature peaceful and kind. They are somehow distant cousins to the dragons even though they hold no physical resemblance to them. The Conchingda are powerful and wise, they hold many mysteries about their race and they mostly stay in their homes of the Forest of Conching, which is the largest forest on Terina. Unlike the dragons, the Conchingda are immortal in a way that they can choose if they wish to die or not. When a Conchingda is mortally wounded they turn into a puddle of water. It is then when the Conchingda can choose to die and move on, or come back. If they ch...

The Dragons The Dragons existed on Terinta before the first apes evolved. They were extremely intelligent, innovative, and creative. They built large cities and ruled over the continent Terina. While they were a powerful race, the dragons had there flaws. They were the most worldly of the four races, falling prey to greed, anger, and lust. They were untrusting of change that they saw as threatening, and they feared what they could not understand. This would prove dangerous for the dragons when something amazing happened to their race. Over a ten year span thousands of dragons were born with powerful gifts that their parents did not have. Some had control over fire, others over water, while other dragons could turn themselves invisible. All these new changes caused the older dragons to fear of a takeover. In an act of panic they banished all the dragons that had powers into the forests of Terina. This led to a major divide in the race of dragons. The ones with powers felt betrayed a...
