About Futan
A race of many names, Elves being one but Mec natively, they live mainly in Northern Igleis though to refer to the Mec as but one race is simplistic for they have different races within their species just as humans do. The Mec live mostly in Fyþir but not all, many drifted Westwards into modern day Majen where a relative of Fyþan is spoken, 
Augs. The Fall was generally a good time for the Mec as Fyþir was split between multiple empires controlling and supressing them, once those empires fell they were free to build their own nation, a Mec nation. Similar to the Neis of Naja, they had a rough period of authoritarianism in their early days but they have mellowed over the years and are now a well recognised independent nation.
