A.N: Before I get any great complaints about this fanfiction, please keep in mind, that though the races and names belong to square-enix, the story line and history of Vana'diel of this story belong to me. If you feel that I should edit any part of my story based on fluidity and grammer, please inform me. But please dont "flame" me about the context, since I'm not really following the orignal plot. Ok I'll shut up now.

There is a world not so different that of our own. It is a land filled with creatures and inhabitants that can only appear in our dreams. Yet, these things are as real as you or I. It is the world of Fantasy, the twilight of our imaginations, and the home of millions that roam its vast lands.

Vanadriel, the land of opportunity lies in the center of the world. Within this great golden land lies the three great nations of Vanadriel, the Republic of Bastok, the Kingdom of San d'Oria, the Federation of Windurst. Here, these nations, inhabits many different races of people. They are the Humes, the Galkas, the Elvaans, the Mithras, and the Tarus. The Humes are human like creatures that live mostly in the Republic of Bastok. These cunning creatures bare great resemblance to us humans, and unsurprisingly, they are just as corrupt as us. Among the people of the Republic are the largely built Galkas, a race consisting only of the male species. Though they are crudely molded, these denizens of Vanadriel are gentle and softspoken.

In Windurst is where the Taru Tarus make their home.Small as they are, the Tarus possess unmeasurable amount of magikal powers, making up for their petite size and strength. Living alongside are the single female-sexed "cat" womens. Ressembling something of a feline-hume mix, the mithras' strong agile and seductive traits made them deadly fighters.

These races have made a great alliance with each other. With the Tarus' immense magical powers ,the mithras' quick fighting skills,the galka's strenghth, the alliance was nearly indestructable. Of course, the whole concept of alliance was thought up by the humes.+

The Elvaans of San d'Oria is quite another story. The Elvaans are of proud and ancient blood and dislike the Humes and chided the other races for allying with them. In time, the Elvaans refused to trade or help the Humes and their companions. As a show of rebuttal, the Humes launched a cold war against the Elvaans. Thus, it begins the decades of despair that will cause all involved to suffer. But hope is not far away.
