Versuri- A race of people, distinctly identifiable by their lack of ears. Versuri are a very conserved, very intelligent race. Unlike the elves, who are wise from their ancestors. Versurdi are less spiritual than the elves. They believe that there is only one god, and that god has given them one purpose, to create. Their disagreements with the elves stem mostly from the “round world incident” in which the Versurdi insisted that the world was round, while the elves insisted it was flat. People believed the elves until Adonis decided to go on a journey to the demon kings fortress. Both offered their wisdom, but Adonis chose to go with the Versurdi. And when the world heard the Adonis had confirmed the world was round, people began to doubt the wisdom of the elves for the first time.

Knights of the Horizon- A group of Anviors, who wielded great power, before the summoning. They were executed for unspecified crimes. They had historically defended the land from wrathful gods, deities, demons, and monsters, like Aldarians in the present day. Shortly following the mass execution of every member, the summoners tore holes into another world to bring forth the Aldarians. Details about Knights in general are unclear and varying. What is known most definitely, is that they were the group that killed the vicious Dilvilamu.

How are levels measured?

Passive level measuring- When a person rises a level. Their body glows a certain pattern. In school, Aldarians are taught how to read this pattern, and interpret it as a level. However you can't check at our convenience. so Aldarians just write it down.

Direct level measuring is somewhat harder. Some Aldarians wear a device that resembles a digital clock, the lines glow when energy passes through it, causing certain numbers to appear. Usually, Tests with this device are used with the intent of gatekeeping Aldarians who aren’t at a certain level. The device is expensive and not intended for personal use.

There are, of course, spells that are much more convenient to tell the level. And these spells are used more commonly as personal.
