xxxxa feline based closed species, with wings and magic!

The days before our ancestors emerged were dark times, a pollutant leaked out
onto the surface of the earth and eradicated most of the earth's creatures and
caused rifts to appear across the earth of what called only be called magic. The
creatures that survived changed and sometime after, those species that were
lost came back from the rifts that had been born across the earth although, not
quite the same. Merged together with other species, mixed and matched one of
that kind was the Hyliefs.
The Ivellen Isle is where we all started, created from the rifts, now called ley
lines, that ran through the heart of the isle. We all came into existence and,
from there, spread across the world. Vicious and lacking legends and stories we
travelled the world aimlessly and then through time evolved our own way of life
and lore. On the Isle was the mountain Amerr, a centre point to which our species
would flock to store and tell legends.
