NIGHT FALLS ON YENSID
October 5-November 14

The land of Yensid was once primarily populated by three species--humans, the Stonefolk, and the Forest Folk. For generations, the three of them lived together in harmony, the bonds of which were strengthened by three parts of the Amulet of Yensid, which were brought together each year in a ceremony designed to strengthen the magic of the land. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk in particular rely upon this magic, for without it, Stonefolk become statues, and the Forest Folk become simple beasts. The humans simply used magic to make their lives a little easier.

But the amulet was lost, the magic went out of the land, and now only the humans rule. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk are thought of as nothing more than myth, but there's something to that myth...and parts of an amulet have just been put on display a thousand years later in the year 201X.

Enter the Travelers, with more history in this world than they know - indeed, Yensid was another of the jaunts lost to Moebius, and their last visit was at the time the pieces of the amulet were lost. Can they make up for their past failure this time around?

Hey! I'm a bit confused about whether or not the Stonefolk and Forest Folk have, like, existing civilization.

From the top description: "...and now only the humans rule. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk are thought of as nothing more than myth..."
From the comments:
"There are many Forest Folk settlements throughout the world..."
"There are many Stonefolk settlements throughout the world..."

So, do the other races still exist, or not?

They still exist!

It looks to me like the magic species are so rare and hidden as to not have much human contact, is the difference. Like Smurfs. Or Gargoyles before some idiot decided to put a castle on a skyscraper.

[powersthatbe]

Basically, yep.

Are stonefolk and forest folk aware of humans, though, since humans are everywhere? And if so, why are they hiding from the humans?
