The Child Exile was never meant to be more than a footnote in history—a cruel, bitter noble stripped of his name, condemned for his crimes, and discarded before he could become anything more. His pitiful return years later in The Fool’s Ascent was nothing but an obstacle for the true heroes before he met his inevitable end.

But history is rewritten when a reader of The Fool’s Ascent dies and awakens in the body of the infamous Child Exile. No longer the same violent boy, he refuses to be just another villain in someone else’s story. If the world is doomed to fall, he will rise to stop it. Yet his past sins are not so easily erased, and redemption will cost him everything—perhaps even his very soul.

To change the story, he must become strong; as strong as the heroes, defy fate, and carve a new power from the ashes of his disgrace.

The world remembers the Child Exile as a villain. He will make them remember him as something more.

Not every race will be talked about, you don't need a description for goblins. Only the important ones.

Natura (The Land of Primal Essence)

Elves – Masters of magic and nature, divided into high elves, wood elves, dusk elves, dark and light elves as well as ???. High agility, skilled in archery and knife play, tree huggers.

Dragons – Ancient, powerful creatures, some ruling over territories, others hidden. Prideful, wise, and lazy considering how many of them are asleep right now.

Faeries – Mischievous, often reclusive beings with innate magic and flight. Skilled in illusion magic, short tempers (usually).

Spirits – Ethereal entities bound to nature, magic, or ancient relics. These guys are everywhere, but you usually can't interact with them or see them for that matter. Boo

Nymphs – Water, forest, and celestial nymphs, each tied to different natural forces. Keep that Pan obsessed goat dude away from my nymphs.

Sylphs – Wind-based beings, light and fast, rarely seen by mortals. Nothing to say here, pretty cool guys I guess.

Earth (The Mortal Lands)

Humans – The most diverse and adaptable race, ruling many kingdoms. I'm one of these :)

Demihumans – Hybrid beings with human and beast traits (e.g., catfolk, wolfkin). Offspring of Beastkin and some other races.

Beastkin – More animalistic than demihumans, often forming tribal societies. Please PLEASE do not ask me how exactly these guys came to be.

Golems – Magical constructs given sentience, often servants or guardians. Yes, they count as a race, some are naturally "born". Again, do NOT ask about the stones and the pebbles.

Below (The Underworld and Deep Lands)

Dwarves – Masters of metalwork and stone, divided into mountain and deep dwarves. Glorified M-words

Giant-kin – Lesser giants, ranging from ogres to trolls, scattered in underground caverns. Half of these dudes are probably named Gronk lol. Seriously though, these aren't the usually dumb orcs or whatever.

Chthonids – Insectoid beings thriving in the deepest tunnels, feared by surface dwellers (and me). I don't like bugs, my least favorite race.

Spant (The Realm of Titans)

Elder Giants – Ancient, near-immortal beings serving the Titans, not all of them though.

Abyssforged – Titan-made constructs of living metal and stone.

Behemoths – Massive war creatures bred for destruction. (Id win)

Forr'est (The Cursed Lands)

Demons – Intelligent and cunning, with ranks ranging from lesser imps to demon lords. Tiny spoiler, these dudes are NOT the main enemy.

Demonkin – Half-demons, often possessing shadowy powers and monstrous traits. TALLY HO (if you know you know).

Undead – Liches, revenants, and wraiths, often remnants of forgotten wars. Your torches won't save you.

Hollowborn – Those born from ???, with twisted and unnatural abilities. Now these guys are scary.

Atlas (The Endless Ocean and Deep Cities)

Merfolk – Ocean-dwelling beings, including sirens, deep-sea hunters, and coral sages. The Copyright Deities are stopping me from making a certain orange-haired mermaid real here.

Leviathans – Massive sea monsters, some intelligent, others mindless forces of nature. Not many of these guys left after ???

Aquatic Beastkin – Sharkfolk, seafolk, and other water-adapted humanoids. Passive Waterbreathing 1.

Nautilites – Ancient mollusk-like beings, sages of the deep. Cool guys, top 3 favorite races, but they sure aren't pretty.

Geography, races, and all that yada
