Patch 1: magic - Githubissues

I just though that because the warp mentions a sort of affiliation with Chaos, it would be better to mark the difference on that point by changing name.

Concerning "warp" vs "praeter", I think we'll go with "praeter".

The Treaty on Magic I want to explicit my vision of the folks I mentioned there. All theses folks have temporary names used to simplify the writing.

People of Nendal could look like Aztec or Norse tribes (I actually would prefer this one). In any cases, they wouldn't be the most developed people in the time where Arkas rises.

The Highlands' Folk is totally inspired by the native Tibetans, and it's assumed. The goal is to make them different, unique, while keeping as basis these two things: they're a pacific people, spiritual awakening leads to magic gifted from the gods to protect the weaks.

Elves update I just made a little update concerning the elves, regrouping the ideas of the Species? issue and those about magic.

I actually made some changes to match the Nendal's folk story with the Fragmented Realm.

@Adkorh: I'm happy you're working so tirelessly on expanding our universe! I've added you to the contributors: That means you can directly make any change you want to the repo, without having to go through the fork->pull request procedure. In my opinion, it would be best that only small changes (typos, etc) are made directly; any non trivial change should still be made as a pull request, so that everyone can comment on it and agree (or not!) to merge it.

I'm not sure where precisely to make the following remarks, so here they go:

I don't think the world we have here is spherical, so having "arctic circle" doesn't really make sense for now. I personally like the idea of a flat world, maybe even infinite. This should maybe be discussed in a brand new issue?
I think it would be better for the new societies you created to lie on continent II. The problem we have here is that the culture you wrote are heavily influenced by praeter, while everything on continent I is pretty much non-magical. One way to explain that would be that the "magical currents" are stronger on continent II, so that placing your folks there is the most reasonable explanation I have so far.

Thanks, i agree with the pull request for important changes.

Ok i'm fine with the flat world idea, but the daylight changing with season is important and even if the world isn't spherical, I think it should be possible to play with this
Ok didn't know about that, we could just put them in continent II in that case, modifying a bit the story but that wouldn't make big changes
