War of the Blood Moon
A total lunar eclipse causes a breach in the walls of the demon prison. Their lords break out into the elven lands, bringing destruction to all living things in this world. Human and dwarven troops oppose the demons, but they are soon completely defeated. The elves ask for help from the wizards of the Seven Cities, and they send their forces to the battlefield. These mages conduct experiments with demon blood, injecting it into the veins of human slaves and criminals. Thus, orcs are created. With their help, the Alliance gains the upper hand over the demons. The Demon Lords are dead, and their servants are once again imprisoned in the hellish prison. After the war, the orcs settle in the Empire of the Falcon and the Seven Cities.
So, in theory, the orcs are added to the aforementioned races, and then, in 461, necromancy is discovered.
Discovery of Necromancy
Belket, a follower and student of Sar-Shazzar, discovers the teachings of necromancy. Experiments on raising the dead begin in the Seven Cities.
Belket paid less and less attention to the teachings of his mentor, and more and more to his own research and conclusions. And one day he came across an ancient manuscript, written by Sar-Elam himself and part of the "Revelations of the Seventh Dragon." The document found by Belket spoke of necromancy, the power of the immortal soul, and the aspect of Asha, the least known and least revered. Belket became convinced that this aspect was also the most comprehensive.
"For Asha is the goddess who created the world and gave it its name; she is all the facets of the wheel of existence; the threefold entity of birth, life, and death. She is the Faceless Virgin, herald of Fate, unseen and watching over all living creatures to fulfill their destiny. She is the Mother, who gave birth to all living things in the world; by giving life, she gives form to chaos and gives meaning to the inexhaustible potential of possibilities. She is the Old Woman, bent and ancient, who tears the web of life with spindles held in her gnarled fingers when the time comes."
The text from the "Revelations" read by Belket stated that the third hypostasis of Asha is the most powerful, subordinating the fruits of the labors of the other two. From the rituals included in the manuscript, Belket drew two points that would have a fundamentally important impact on the development of necromancy. First, this is the representation of Asha as a spider weaving the thread of life and able to break it when the time allotted in the mortal world runs out. Second, this is the idea of the continuation of life: death is not the end, but only a transformation. The pitiful desires and needs of the flesh, the destructive passions of the heart, the short-sighted decisions of the mind, which have caused so many wars and conflicts - death was the answer to everything, the reduction of existence to the purest and most immutable form.
Necromancers appear, and after 467-504, the Orcish Uprising occurs.
Orcish Uprisings
The orcs revolt in the Seven Cities and in the Empire of the Falcon. Despising their masters and the Dragon Gods, they declare themselves free. In the Empire of the Falcon, troops oppose the orcs in order to suppress the uprisings and return the orcs to the worship of the elemental dragons. After a series of fierce battles, the orcs are defeated. The survivors scatter in all directions, including to the southern deserts, the northeastern steppes, and the eastern Border Islands. A terrible storm sinks the Empire's fleet, which was following the islands after the fugitives. The Emperor takes this as a sign from the Dragon Gods, and the persecution of the orcs ceases, granting them freedom. Then, the creation of beastmen in 512.
Creation of Beastmen
Beastmen (minotaurs, centaurs, harpies...) are created as servants, guards, or pets in the Seven Cities. The purpose of their creation is to replace the scattered orcs.
And only then the separation of the elves, but the orcs are the product of the experiments of the mages, so they can also be added to the mages:(
From all of the above, it seems to me that there will be: Humans, demons, elves, dwarves, mages, orcs (either with the mages or separately), beastmen, and dark elves:eek:
