In terms of magical energy, omnifex, or Soul Stray as the Runesworn call it, is the most potent power source, because it is said to be the "soul of Grellis". It is a spiritual energy that permeates everything, the purest essence of Grellis, and is a combination of drenifex (Bone Stray), orifex (Breath Stray), helifex (Blood Stray), and gernafex (Skin Stray), the four minor essences of Grellis. Of all the races, the Eldinar alone contain Soul Stray, while the other races save the Meninar contain only one of the other lesser essences, as they were made by the celestial gods. The Meninar, being half-breeds, also contain Soul Stray, but to a lesser degree than the Eldinar.

Fall of the Eldinar

The non-elf races (humans, dwarfs, giants, helimer, attawa, and jrel) possessed only the lesser essences, being that they were not created by Grellis. The Eldinar possessed pure Soul Stray, which always made the gods jealous, as they were made with half Soul Stray, and half of the lesser essences. It came to pass that the gods Drend, Orend, and Helirend sought to banish the angel M'ranin and the Fouled Seven to the Shadow Lay, but to do so they needed Soul Stray to trap them there. Rather than take any Soul Stray from celestials, which would weaken them, they conspired to steal it from the Eldinar. Since they did not have the power to steal it, they used the angel of deception, Fethylden, who tricked the Eldinar into giving up some of their omnifex, which made them lose their immortality. In doing so, they became the Inar, or elves.

+In terms of [[magic|magical]] energy, '''omnifex''', or ''Soul Stray'' as the [[Runesworn]] call it, is the most potent power source, because it is said to be the "soul of Grellis". It is a spiritual energy that permeates everything, the purest essence of [[Grellis]], and is a combination of [[drenifex]] (Bone Stray), [[orifex]] (Breath Stray), [[helifex]] (Blood Stray), and [[gernafex]] (Skin Stray), the four minor essences of Grellis. Of all the races, the [[Eldinar]] alone contain Soul Stray, while the other races save the [[Meninar]] contain only one of the other lesser essences, as they were made by the [[celestial]] gods. The Meninar, being half-breeds, also contain Soul Stray, but to a lesser degree than the Eldinar.
-The '''omnicrux''' is what the [[Befores]] used as the term to describe the "pure essence of [[Grellis]]". It is a spiritual energy combined of all three cruxi, or essences of magical energy: [[oricrux]] from air, the "breath of Grellis"; and [[helicrux]] from water, or "tears of Grellis". Omnicrux was said to permeate everything created by the primordial stone god. It was imbued with all his creations. Of all the races, the [[Eldinar]] possessed this energy to the highest degree, being directly created by Grellis, although the [[Meninar]] also had it to a degree, being half-breeds. The rest of the races had it to a significantly less degree, as they were created by the [[celestial]] gods and not Grellis. It is said that all creatures who produce offspring pass some portion of their own omnicrux to the progeny.

+The non-elf races ([[humans]], [[dwarfs]], [[giants]], [[helimer]], [[attawa]], and [[jrel]]) possessed only the lesser essences, being that they were not created by Grellis. The Eldinar possessed pure Soul Stray, which always made the gods jealous, as they were made with half Soul Stray, and half of the lesser essences. It came to pass that the gods [[Drend]], [[Orend]], and [[Helirend]] sought to banish the [[angel]] [[M'ranin]] and the [[Fouled Seven]] to the [[Shadow Lay]], but to do so they needed Soul Stray to trap them there. Rather than take any Soul Stray from celestials, which would weaken them, they conspired to steal it from the Eldinar. Since they did not have the power to steal it, they used the angel of deception, [[Fethylden]], who tricked the Eldinar into giving up some of their omnifex, which made them lose their immortality. In doing so, they became the [[Inar]], or elves.

-Initially, the non-Inar races ([[humans]], [[dwarfs]], [[giants]], [[merfolk]], [[attawa]], and [[jrel]]) possessed a lesser amount of omnicrux than the Inar, being that they were not created by Grellis. When the gods [[Drend]], [[Orend]], and [[Helirend]] sought to banish the [[angel]] [[M'ranin]] and the [[Fouled Seven]] to the [[Shadow Lay]], they needed a significant amount of omnicrux to trap them there. Rather than take omnicrux from celestials, they stole some from each of the non-Inar races, as they found they could not do so from the Inar. This weakened the other races, but unwittingly saved them in the aftermath of the [[Great Purge]], as they had less omnicrux than the Inar and the Cauthrians, who went extinct.
