Society of the Zynomian Alliance

Mantles have completely changed the politics of much of the world due to their raw power. Some of the old leaders of the countries have been forced to concede power to the Mantle holders, some unwillingly. While the Mantle holders are just and fair, many people are discontent with the shift of power. 5 Countries have begun to combine their resources to combat the elements into a group called the Zynomian Alliance. Ferris, Lough, Keigh, Eddos, and Winn. Ferris has been the world leader in magic and the arcane so magic is prevalent in this society. Lough has precious gems and resources. Keigh specializes in combining magic and technology. Winn specializes in beasts and magical items. Eddos mastered alchemy and technology

War tends to unite people and thus racism has subsided quite a bit in the last 50 years as the common enemy is the elementals. Genasi are humanoid elemental hybrids. They are created by exposure to elementals, or humanoids being blessed by an Elemental Djinn. Most Genasi at the moment are very young. In general, they are under 50 years old as they started appearing after the calamity, but most are usually 20 years old and below. Some humans have also betrayed their world and were converted into Genasi by the Elemental Djinn (the first elementals on par with the gods). In general, Genasi are the only race that seems to be very discriminated against because of the betrayers, but some older and more stubborn humanoids are sometimes prejudiced against other races as they remember the time before the calamity.

In Ferris, Magic items and enchanters are more common than other countries. Other countries specialize in other areas such as alchemy, technology, etc. That being said, it is not cheap. Within recent years, Minor Mantles have been also sold for gold as well, but that is a very rare sight.

Because of the war, Mercenaries and fighters have become a more common occupation. There are many small tasks needed to keep society from completely collapsing and the military and police have been forced to outsource these to others. There is a military force and many aspire to be recruited into the Elite fighting ranks as it also pays well.
