60.000 years before the beginning of the Northern calendar. (This is sort of important, because it also places the story outside of the setting lore from Wilderlands of High Fantasy,
which has "Eldar" races colonize the planet about BCCC -40.000. I'd rather not have that because the setting would again, mainly be about the discovery of sci-fi technology,
and the usual "robots vs knights" trope. That's cool, too, but I am looking for something else, and I am most inclined to disregard the WL lore for this experiment.)
Primary races: Homo Sapiens, First Men, Dragonkin, Snakemen, Sair-Aigu, Fey (proto-elves).
Elemental gods, oral magic.
Ah cool, I am glad you settled for a more specific timeframe.
IIRC, the Wilderlands Box also lists "Pegasai" and Dragons as among the first races. Also, there are the Orichalans/"Dragon Lords" which may be covered by the Dragonkin label?
BTW the First Men are not Winged Apes. They are Ape-like, but not winged.
Actually you could have the Elder Races be something non-technological. They are alien and enemies of the Markrabs, but they could be anything. Devas for instance...
