White- Thousands of years ago humans were well-versed with all the colors of mana. When organized civilization began to crumble a military leader named Trachol attempted to restore order. Unwaveringly totalitarian he waged war on all he felt contributed to Jyhelm's problems. Abringon, a necromancer, formerly at odds lent his support in order to maintain his own (un)life. Throughout the northern part of Jyhelm's landmass people either submitted to Trachol's lifestyle or were executed. A few bands escaped into the central desert and coastal regions. Shortly after Trachol gained control most of the settled world progress halted.

Blue- The Viashino of the cliffs had never cared much for anything other than killing and feasting, though a mutation occurring 600 years before Trachol emergedhad been giving some of their species flight. Under the power of Trachol with Abringon and his other five generals Parsha, the Bey of the time devoted herself to studying what she had seen humans use in the past. The pursuit of knowledge was always an interest of conflict amongst the Eor generations, some seeing it as necessary progress, others detesting it in favor of a more primal answer. Brilliant or dull, the Eor were just as blood thirsty and maintained a hold of their cliff regions. Many minotaurs become members of Eor clans, some even having even been leaders.

Black- Like the Viashino the Nantuko had long been at odds with the humans. When Trachol had either executed or subjugated the forests' inhabitants the Nantuko, no longer needing to trick their prey lived like they never had before. No longer driven from their homes or fighting to spawn a hive they could create society and evaluate the strength of themselves. Never forgetting their carnivorous and vicious past the Nantuko's armies had no living rival in terms of organization or strength. Despite their power there was never any wish to move beyond the forests. For the past Rok-Byn has held a position of power, working on a "perfect cycle of life." This goal is far from close to being achieved as other leaders amongst the Nantuko have their own agendas, or at worst, in the case of Gesh-Odt, find hinderance and failure funny.

Red- The few who escaped Trachol's empire fled into the deserts with the exiled elephants, djinn, and efreets, forming the Alomi nomads. The Alomi exist out a list for freedom and dream of the old days, preserved in the last remnants of text in their library, Baliman. As nomads they live in various tribes, moving about the desert, groups ranging from as few as two or three to as large as seventy. Two Alomi live by themselves, Solji an ancient elephant driven mad, and Dasang, a kindly djinn. Both were alive at the great exodus into the desert as they fled Trachol's armies.

Green- In the time of prosperity, long before Trachol was born the first cephalids crawled out of the ocen and into the jungle streams. Nothing paid them mind save for a few creatures. No one said anything when they started crawling around o the forest floor. A few glances were given when they were heard mumbling to each other in an indecipherable tongue. All races were terrified when they realized the creatures had reached enormous sizes.
