Im making a homebrew campaign that I'll be running. It takes place in my own world called Elencia (name subject to change).
This includes my house rules presented here:

History:
Tensions are high between Fey and Primordials. With strong debates over the superior magic users.
This came to a head 100 years ago when a great war broke out between the 2 sides. The Elves, Eladrin, and Drow led the battle against The Genasi, and Chromen (homebrew race). The fey won over many of the natural races on their sides such as the halflings, orcs, and goblins. However, the primordials managed to recruit the elementals, chromatic and storm dragons to aid them. Humans split between sides, and the dwarves chose to avoid the battle. The fey controlled greater numbers, but the primordials ruled in sheer fire power.
One battle grew so fierce that it destroyed everything within 25 miles of it. The area became known as the Chaos crater, the magical energies in it prevent any living thing to enter it
Eventually a group of individuals from all races came together and formed the Mercenarius council. Together they managed to put a stop to the fighting.
The Mercenarius council is now the capital and one of the largest cities of the world. It allows each city, and state to act in their own ways, and only intervenes to prevent wars. This has lead to many states keeping hold of prejudices of the past. To the point of either banning fey/primordials, or even enslaving them. The Mercenarius council also manages the forming of adventuring companies. When an individual or group wishes to form an adventuring company and embark on quests they often go through the Mercenarius council, since the council receives the majority of the quests. The MC does have guidelines laid down on the groups who choose to join it though. Such as no strong discrimination towards particular races, no owning of slaves, and no overtly evil acts.
Further information concerning the war, and the role of the MC will be discovered as the players play through the game.
