I wonder whether the villain's plan is to transform the magical races into more humanlike forms- a form of genetic purity. He is a human scientist and detests all magical creatures. Perhaps he creates a plague which begins to kill magical races and animals. Tapping into Pomerania's folktales, his minions masquerade as devils and grim reapers so that the population assumes they will all survive. This has two benefits- the magical population wont attempt retaliate or use magic to overcome the illness. And secondly the magical races will loose faith in their own superstitions and folk tales. In desperation they seek out a possible cure from Utopia, which seems unaffected. The Villain, now appearing as a saviour, "discovers" a cure. The side affect is that the creatures and races must have their magical nature removed, transforming them into pure humans. Unfortunately as this progresses, the races become unhappy as their magical souls have been removed, leaving them sad husks of their former selves. The live a haunted existence in "Utopia" in the ghettos of human cities, now slaves to the Utopians. Pomerania will transform from a lush magical land where magical races and creatures live peacefully, to an industrial human centric world populated by the wealthy Utopians and their transformed slaves, devoid of any happiness or spirit.<br /> As an added idea, perhaps the removal of the magical spirit or essence is used by the villain to power the industry of Utopia (so the effect is a double win for the Villain- genetic purity and the attainment of raw power).<br />Justin Justin Wyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00102510350311150592noreply@blogger.com
