Mir is a fasnty setting. The land of Mir is bordered on the east and west by Mountain ranges. To the north lies the Great Sea, to the South lies an impassable swamp.In Mir there are Humans, Elves, Orcs, and Dwarves. The Humans live in the river valley between the East and West Mountains. The Dwarves live in the mountains, and the Orcs lives in the North East, in an area called the Orc Holds.
2.Races
Cheloveki:
Cheloveki are the most numerous race in Mir。 There origins are unclear，but it is agreed that thousands of years ago they migrated to the land。 The Cheloveki are a tall race， men being around 185cm on average。The language of the Cheloveki is called Yazik。 It is written in a script of its own。They are fond of drinking， and are credited with the invention of distillation。They are not skilled at smithing nor are they good merchants。 They seldom study magic， and have little aptitude for it。
The Cheloveki display great variety， and their culture is very free。 Anybody can do largely what he pleases。 That said there are three social levels in society。 The lowest，the serfs， are peasant farmers who belong to the land。They make up the majority of the rural population。 The next level， the svodboi，or free men， are the merchants and craftsmen of the town。 Career military types are also included in this class。 The next level is the boyari， they are the hereditary nobility and own the land， or serve as the mayor of a city。 The boyari elect one of their number to serve as the tsar， who rules from Tsargrad。 Tsar is not a hereditary position，and the Boyars have the real power，but some Tsars have greatly changed the land。
Cheloveki are worshippers of Dazhbog， Mafya， and Krasota。 They fear the dark triad， and those who engage in their worship will be punished。There is no tradition of druidism among the Cheloveki。 Most magic users are Clerics。
Rajul:
The Rajul are the descendents of the lost empire of Ak-Bal。 They are minority people who live among the Cheloveki while holding on to their own culture and traditions。 Many wander from city to city， and make a living as thieves and peddlers。They have a long and proud magical tradition， and are particularly gifted at sorcery。They are shorter then the Cheloveki， averaging only 160cm for a man。 They have black hair， and red eyes。Their language is called A`qa， and is written in the old flowing script of Ak-Bal。
The Rajul are better smiths and merchants then the Cheloveki and some have settled in the cities。 Rajul usually live in their own section of the city，as there is tension with their neighbors。
Since the Rajul practice the worship of Akim， they are widely feared and hated by the Cheloveki。That said， most of them only give the Evil One lip service， as his rituals are too horrible to be performed。
Many Rajul serve as spies for the Boyars。This gives them a unique position of power，and some Rajul are believed to even blackmail the Boyars into subservient positions。
Kett:
The Kett are the original inhabitants of Mir。Yet their culture is the most primitive。 They have no written language， and speak Sylvan。They average about 170cm， and have red or brown hair。The males can not grow facial hair。They decorate their bodies with spiral or circular tattoos，and wear war paint。
They practice Druidism，and live in small clans。Their society is led by druids，who are always male，and sorcerers who are always female。
The Kett have no ability to work with metal，and have only the simplest agriculture。They often live in tents and simple wooden huts。 The Kett have been nearly exterminated by their neighbors and are found in the wildest and most inaccessible places of Mir。
They Kett are the finest woodsmen， hunters， and trackers in Mir。Some make a living serving as guides，or trappers。Yet as a whole there culture is xenophobic.
Elves:
The Moon Elves
The Moon Elves are the descendents of the ancient High Elf civilization。They have lost much of their former knowledge，yet are still the greatest magic users in Mir。They live among men in the cities，and often work as teachers， court mages，or sellers of magical goods。They worship the Gods under their Elvin aspects。Unlike the Rajul，which are feared， most people respect the Moon Elves。
Moon Elf women are considered very beautiful to the men of Mir。They are very graceful，and many are skilled musicians and artists。
The city of Morning Star is a Moon Elf city。The ruler of Morning Star is the only non-human to have the rank of Boyar。Elves and humans live side by side with little tension.
Dwarves:
The Dwarves are a strange race。They were created by the god Zhur to serve as smiths and craftsmen。They feel more at home underground，and live in settlements built below the earth。They are the best craftsmen in Mir，and invented metal working and masonry。They are a serious race and not giving to levity。They are fond of drink，which the Cheloveki supply them in great quantities。They have their own language， and write in a runic alphabet
The Dwarves do not practice arcane magic，but have many clerics。They have an enormous code of laws，which can be complicated or even impossible for a non-dwarf to understand。They have a partiluar hatred for the Dark Elves，who once had enslaved the Dwarfs before the age of man。
orcs:
The Orcs are the creation of Battus。They are a primeval race， valuing skill at arms above all else。 Orcs live in clans，and the clans often battle each other。Orcs love war，and make suberb fighters。Orc smiths create massive weapons and vicious crossbows，all designed to take advantage of the strength of the Orcs。
Some Orcs serve as mercenaries in human lands。Such orcs are mistrusted，but respected for their ability to kill。
Orc society is ruled by the strongest。Yet，the wise woman，an old female orc，sees to it that the laws of orc society are followed。Orcs despise trickery and cunning， and their word is their bond。Orcs never surrender，always fight to the death，and are rather hard to reason with。
Orcs can be found in the northeast of Mir。The region is called the Orc Holds.
3.History and Ancient Empires
Spoiler:
History of Mir
The High Elves-
The first great Empire，that of the high elves，was almost from the beginning of time。The elves skill at magic was legendary，and today many magical artifacts and places of power date from this empire。The high elves fought the great dragons using magic，and ruled the world。After this time they became obsessed with the practice of Magic，and the empire began a decline。The high elves were oblivious to the threat posed by their rival， man。
The Ak-Bal
The Ak-Bal，who were living as nomads，and were considered no threat to the High Elf Empire， discovered that magic could be used by man。They were taught by the god， Akim，who would later prove to be one of the 3 evil gods，called the Dark Triad。With the new power，the Ak-Bal defeated the High Elves，and enslaved them。The Ak-Bal built many monuments to the Dark Triad，and the strength of the Dark Triad was great。It was at this time Battus created the Orcs to serve as soldiers in the war against the elves。The Ak-Bal empire fell into chaos when the last emperor of the Ak-Ba， Abdin Hamza was killed in single combat by the Orc Hero Zogtar。Zogtar felt the human empire was weak and decadent。The orcs sacked the empire，and carried off much wealth。
The Wild Elves
The Wild Elves were those elves who fled the empire‘s last days and lived in the forests。They taught the Ketts how to use magic，and the use of the bow and arrow。Many Wild Elf holy places are still protected by the Ketts。
The Giants
The Giants were a tall race 4m high，who fought both the Dragons and the Elves in the time before man。They did not create cities，but some of the highest peaks of Mir，bear strange runic carvings made by giant hands。
The Dragons
Though Dragons still exist，the great dragons are all long dead。Great dragons were creatures of unbelievable power and size， equal to entire armies in power。The great dragons created a race of lizard men to serve them，and create monuments to them。Such ancient dragon temples still exist in the hidden places of the world，and the lizard men still guard them。Some lesser dragons dream of a new age of dragons，and will study these old dragon lairs and temples。

3.5 Politics in Mir
politics:
Politics in Mir
The Cheloveki hereditary nobility is known as the boyari, a lord is known as a boyarin. The Boyarin meet and elect one of their number to rule as Tsar, in the capital city of Tsargrad. The Tsar is anointed by the priests of Dazhbog in a ceremony stretching back more than a thousand years. Although several tsars have been elected from the same family, the monarchy is not hereditary.
The boyar is responsible for raising armies in case of war. At times various noble families have attacked and seized the lands of other families. Outright civil war is rare. Marriage and business serve to keep the boyari mostly on speaking terms with each other.
The Current Tsar is Dmitri the First, or Dmitri the Lame. Under his rule relations and trade with the Dwarves has improved.
The Dwarves mountain fortresses are ruled by hereditary kings and queens. Each fortress has its own ruler. Dwarves have seldom gone to war with each other. Generally speaking Dwarven life is remarlaby apolitical, with the focus being on crafting and business rivalries. Two Dwarven families may try to corner a lucrative market, or defend a trade secret. Generally speaking the complex legal code of the Dwarves has created an orderly, almost perfect society. The weakness is that the Dwarves have been slow to defend their trade routes, and the attacks by dark elves have taken them largely by surprise.
Elves are simply too few in number to be in politics. The elf dominated city of Morning Star traditionally has an Elf for mayor. Yet his single vote is largely ceremonial. Elves prefer to concentrate on their magical studies, and historical research. Many elves are drawn to secret cults of magic or necromancy. Other have attempted to summon dragons. Many of the most terrifying villains in the history of Mir have been elves, but most elves are law abiding upright citizins of the ream
Kett politics are non-existent. They are ruled by their druid priest kings and the idea of social mobility is foreign to their primitive ways. At times Kett will feud with another Kett tribe, but in such cases a gathering of druids will be called. A consensus will usually be reached. Should a Druid betray his fellow druids he is offered as a sacrifice to the Horned One, an destructive aspect of mother nature.
Orc Clans have their own unique structure
orc clans:
Orcs live in holds. A hold is a settlement with watch towers and a palisade or even a stone wall. A small hold will be 50 orcs. The largest hold can be 1000. A hold has a temple or shrine, depending on size, and a smith. It’s ruler depends on which of the clans the hold belongs to. 75%of the Orcs in a hold will be capable of fighting. The rest are children and other non-combatants.
There are 4 orc clans today. The fifth clan the broken shield clan was destroyed and absorbed by the Bloody Ax clan. The clans are Clan Cracked Hammer, Clan Yellow Dog, the Bear Claw Clan, and Clan Bloody Ax. The 3 clans, Cracked Hammer, Yellow Dog, and Bear Claw have an alliance. Clan Bloody Ax is independent.
Clan Cracked Hammer LN is the most powerful and largest of the Clans. It has the most skilled Smiths. In fact in the Clan the worship of Zhir is almost as common as the worship of Battus. Clan Cracked Hammer is the most civilized and least warlike of the clans, with many orcs making a living in mining, and farming. The various clan holds rule for the clan by consensus. There is no clear leader. There is a tradition of smith clerics among clan Cracked Hammer.
Clan Yellow Dog NE is the smallest clan. The clan leads an almost feral existence, mostly by raiding, hunting, and hiring themselves out as mercenaries. They have no clan holds, and are nomadic. The clan leaders are druids, unlike the other clans. Clan Yellow Dog is feared for the skill and stealth of their woodsmen and trackers. They have been fighting with the Kett for centuries. There is much bad blood between them.
Clan Bear Claw LE is the most traditional of the clans. They live in strict military faction. Worship of Battus is central to their lives. Women have no status in Clan Bear Claw, and are treated as property. A good warrior will be rewarded with many women by the chief. The exception to this rule is the clans will have a single female shaman. She is always a cleric of battus, and must defeat any female who challenges her to the title. Clan Bear Claw makes their living through subsistence agriculture and mercenary work. They trade for weapons with Clan Cracked Hammer. They also wage war against Clan Bloody ax at any opportunity.
Clan Bloody Ax NE is the only clan to practice arcane magic and necromancy. The Bloody Ax clan is currently ruled by Tessa Half Blood, a powerful half-orc necromancer. She inherited the title of chieftain from her father, Kaz the Insane. Within the clan holds, arcane magic users hold the real power, and it is the only clan where women and men have equal opportunities. Rajul and Elves are welcomed in Bloody Ax holds, but Cheloveki and Dwarves are disliked. Clan Bloody axe also raids the other three clans for supplies, slaves, and weapons. The other clans consider clan Bloody Ax heretical, and a disgrace to Orc tradition.

5. Languages of Mir
Languages of Mir:
Languages of Men
A'qa: The language of the Ak-Bal is still used by some Rajul communities. It sounds unlike Cheloveki. It is written in a long cursive script, and is read right to left. The word ‘the’ in Ak-Bal is ‘al’.
Sylvan: A language spoken by ancient forest creatures and the Kett. The dialect of Sylvan spoken by the Kett uses many Elvish words. It is not written
Cheloveki or Yazik is the language spoken by Cheloveki. It has many consontat clusters and a complicated grammar. It is the common speech of Mir used by businessmen and travelers.
Staraya Boyari is an archaic form of Cheloveki. It is not intelligible to modern reader
Languages of old
Draconic: The oldrest known language, spoken by dragons, and used by many mages.
Giant: Extinct, this was the language of giants. It is carved on some giant ruins. Bears a similarity to Dwarve Runic Script
High Elf is an extinct language. It is found written in ancient elf ruins, dating from the first civilization. It does not use an alphabet but a series of non-phonetic glyphs
Evil Speech, Dark Speech, Black Speech, Chorni Yazik, are all names for the language of hell and the Dark Triad. Religious works and evil clerics as well as Demons use this speech. This language is written in characters not an alphabet. Many inscriptions in the old Ak-Bal empire are in this language.
Languages of the other races
Druidic: This secret language was once used by Wood Elves. It is a mixture of Sylvan and Elvish. It is written in a pictographic form.
Orc: Orc is a strange language, sounding similar to Dwarvish. It has no writing of its own, being usually written in Dwarf Runic Script, but also in the Black Speech. Famous Orc Words are ‘Vark’ meaning to fight, to kill or to die, and ‘Akh’ meaning I. Most Orcs are illiteratre. Orc Grammar is famously simple. It has no verb conjugations. Most Orc shamans use Dark Speech for their more complex utterances.
Dwarven is the language of Dwarves. It is written in a Runic Script. Dwarf sounds like a softer version of orc. /kh/ and /z/ sounds feature prominently in the language. The runes are all angular making them easy to carve into rock.
Elvish: The language of the elves. Many /l/ and /w/ sounds. Considered very beautiful and flowing. Used by elves. The writing is well known.
Various other languages exist, such as the language of elementals, and the language of intelligent monsters. Yet few of these have written forms. In addition cults often have their own coded or secret means of writings.

cusine of Mir:
-We Cheloveki are a hardy race, and so like hearty fare. Large portions of bread, meat, and potatoes are our favorite. The best flavors are gotten by adding mushrooms, which many cheloveki are fond of hunting in the forest, especially in late fall. We dislike spicy food, and eat fresh fruit rarely. Vegetables are usually stewed, and are considered the food of serfs. That said, some serf vegetable stews are quite tasty, especially those made with wild vegetables
-Rajul do not have a cuisine, but they do have a spirit. Known as Green Light, Little Death, or a hundred other nicknames, this vile alcohol actually requires Fey Blood. It causes visions and boosts magical and perceptive powers. Heavy drinkers are said to go insane. I've had it twice, and it is both amazing, but expensive, and borders on illegal.
-Kett are skilled hunters, but oddly they prefer fish to other game. They seem to feel that killing an animal requires the entire animal to be used. For this reason they tend to prefer small game, rabbits are their favorite. At times they may kill a stag or bear, but only for a festival. They tend to flavor their food with nuts, berries, or even roots. Kett can and will live off the land for months at a time, even in the harshest conditions. The Kett have a rather horrible alcohol, which is made of, get ready for it, fish guts left to naturally ferment in a bottle which is buried. It is quite bad, and rather weak.
-Orcs prefer meat, but raw. They also grow rye and barley. The orc diet is almost entirely raw meat and flat bread. Orcs do not have a traditional alcohol. They greatly enjoy beer and vodka however.
-Elves are unusual in that they seem to take great pleasure in cooking. Elven dishes are difficult to prepare, and often involve obscene amounts of work. Fresh cream, fruit, and sauces feature heavily in their cooking. Today most elves eat what we eat, but a few elf chefs keep the elvish tradition alive. In addition to cuisine, the elves invented wine, and elvin wine is by far the best.
-Dwarves drink beer, in large amounts. Many experts say this is because the Dwarves are unable to drink water in the amounts the other races do. Dwarves are terribly fond of drinking, and import both wine and vodka from the cities of Mir. Dwarven food, is well, the worst. They eat a foul fungus which grows underground that tastes like rancid flour. They have no dairy products, and no fruits. It is a wonder how they live at all, to be honest. Rich dwarves have a taste for imported foods, and fruit makes up a large portion of any shipment to a dwarf hold.
