World Lore: The Realm of Virelune
Long before the current age, the world of Virelune was ruled by the First Voices—ancient beings said to have given animals the gift of speech, thought, and culture. The land was once wild and chaotic, but when the First Voices disappeared, the animals inherited the world they left behind.
No one knows where the First Voices went. Some believe they became the stars. Others say they were wiped out by a forgotten war.
What remains is a world of animal kingdoms, magic, and ancient ruins that no one fully understands.

Magic in Virelune
Magic is called Resonance—the energy left behind by the First Voices.
Each species tends to resonate with certain elements:
Felines: Fire and heat
Hoofed animals: Earth and nature
Birds: Wind and lightning
Aquatic species: Water and tides
Burrowers: Stone, metal, and craft magic
However, no one fully understands where Resonance comes from.
The Great Silence (The Central Mystery)
There is one strange truth in Virelune:
No one has ever seen a human.
