"He nodded. Your premise had two problems," he said, choosing to lay on the ground and stare at the ceiling as he spoke. "One is that even a Landen from another realm with as little brains as you mentioned... would know a lot of the things I would have to explain for this to make sense. And probably's heard of Witch already anyway. The other reason," he leaned up on his elbows a bit to grin, "Is that I enjoy having fun, and you made it easy."
Smiling, he lay back down. "I've had a lot of practice recently explaining the things that everyone in my world knows from the cradle up, so I don't mind doing it again for you. I'm telling myself it'll be goof practice for when my daughter starts to talk and hits that age where she asks a question about everything. Helped sit Daemonar a few times, so I know more or less what to expect."
He took a breath deciding where to begin. "My world is divided into three realms, two for the living, one for the dead. I am from one of the living realms, specifically Kaleer. We'll leave **** aside for now, since the realm of the dead is different in almost all ways, and just discuss the two living realms for the moment, Terielle and Kaleer. Until about fifty thousand years ago, they were more or less the same, so mostly just going to discuss Kaleer, because it is simpler."
"Now, in the living realms you can break the people down into two groups. Landen and Blood. Landens have no magic, cannot reach the Darkness at all with anything but prayers, and those only help if one of the Blood are listening. The Blood were created to be the caretakers of the Realm. We can use Craft and are charged with protecting the land, the Landens, and those of the blood weaker than we are. In top of that you have the part-humans and the animals, and among them as well are Landen and Blood, usually in the same ratio. The Blood are vastly outnumbered in most parts of the world, really. The exception being the Kindred territories, that is the territories of the animals who are also Blood. In some territories there are the Landens of their races as well, but I am fairly certain I've never met a Landen Unicorn," he said with a grin. "With me so far?"
I am sorry I keep changing the spelling on Terrelle, I can;'t ever keep it straight in my head.
