Predecessors

The Predecessors were a race of primitive primates which originated from a unknown place. They are considered the link between Elves And Human. Their species stretched from Rathnir to Eldham, Paxia to Jagdas. While their species began to spread across the known world and eventually undiscovered continents. They however ran into a problem due to them being in different environments and biomes. It created the proto and modern species found across the world today.

History
While mysterious even in the ancient era they left behind very little of their civilization. However what was known of there history was written in metallic tablets. This shows their civilization was at least able to semi or fully forge metal. What was written was mostly about their rulers indicating that metal was not widely used for the common person. The species maintained all of its power in the realm of Eldham and Jagdas. Ruins of their ancient cities and artifacts found would also tell us that they were as social as most primate species. Written and spoken language of the Predecessors is impossible to reproduce with modern descendants. After centuries of being spread across the world it seems two major powers had been formed from a previous one great nation. The Hujk'i (Hut-jo-ke) a warrior nation which formed from year of hunting and wars. Eventually evolving their species to become more naturally aggressive. And the Or'jin (Or-jin) the original species which evolved from their decadent and luxurious lifestyle. These two nations would go into a century of fighting until the world become almost barren and empty. Both sides were crippled and eventually the Hujk'i would become the ancestors of the humans. And the Or'jin would become the ancestors of the modern elves. After that history forgot what has happened no written documents were present during the time after the war.

Biology
The Predecessors were humanoids with a silver skin tone likely an attribute used during a later ice age. They stood an average of fifteen feet and weighing around 550lbs. Their blood was a vibrant red from the massive amount of oxygen present during the time. Later decedents who were adapted to tundra and aquatic environments or similar had blue blood. Due to the lack of oxygen present in those areas. The Predecessors did not have any known ancestors as any equipment would not register before their existence. They lived approximately five million (SDT) years ago however different remains were found. And the latest was dated as five hundred thousand years ago assuming they do indeed still exist their location still remains a mystery.
