Dragons, unicorns, and elves have become nothing more than creatures of fantasy and fairy tales in the minds of mankind. Magic and all magical creatures were born from the pairing of the God Oberon and the Goddess Titania. Humanity admired the various creatures with awe and wonder, and in the early days of mankind, the magical creatures dominated the fledgling human civilizations around the world.
