Supriyo_Deb
In the land of Istharia, there were two prominent races, elves and dwarves. Elves are called druids because of their strong connection towards the life force and possess will of preservation of nature, thus, resulting in them becoming powerful magicians. Dwarves on other hand are called earth people because of their strong connection towards earth and possess will of shaping the nature, thus, leading them to become learned technologists. However, due to both philoshopy being polar opposites despite their common goal, elves and dwarves had lot of quarrels with each other, with former accusing the latter for diverting the natural flow of nature while latter accusing former to become responisble for stagnation of progress of world. Thus, in order to reinforce their philoshopy, elves decides to get other races to their sides by teaching them magic, since, learning magic was much easier than learning technology, the other races drawn towards the arcane art taught by elves, leading to increase of mages, who reinforced the elven law, principle and belief. This reduced the dwarven influence in the land significantly. Dwarves believed while magic is powerful, it also lead to the inequality as not everyone can use magic for only those with strong aptitude towards arcane energy can use it. Still normal people while cannot use magic can still use magical items and potions, dwarves on other hand due their mastery on technology, caused them to become resilent to arcane energy, which is both positive and negative, it is positive due their increased resilence towards magical attacks from mages while it is negative due the reduced to no benefit from magical items, potions or helpful spells. Dwarves as the result reduced to becoming the inferior species, perhaps, even more inferior to non-mages. In the end dwarves can only do odd jobs for mages and to extension elves. Technology is potent but still not a match for magic, there was no hope and future for technology, until "he" came.
