I'm into it and I'm desperate for original worlds, characters, and stories.

A couple questions:

Does magic exist? If so, in what capacity? Who, if anyone, wields it, and what does it require from the individual to do so?

What races and species exist in the world? Is this low-fantasy, with humans and animals, or high-fantasy, with the classic elves/dwarves/humans, or dark-fantasy, with all kinds of shivering horrors? 

Is there a driving plot, or is this more of a sandbox in which to tell our stories? How big is the world? How much leeway do we have in character history to establish our own unique settings, cultures, and identifiers?

I'm likely in this regardless of how these questions are answered, but that doesn't mean I'm not curious.

1) Magic exists mainly in the form of Relics which are still kicking around. The power of the relic varies, but are generally limited to one 'field' of magic. Such as fire manipulation or transfiguration. The Old Magic has more or less died out, though it's possible some skulk in the shadows hidden away from the Order of the Third Moon, though their grasp on magic will be basic and won't be easy on their bodies, physically. 

2) Somewhere between the three. Humans are the main backbone, dwarves exist but rarely leave their holds. Elves have more or less been hunted to extinction from the Order of the Third Moon as they were the most prolific magic users. Horrors exist, and other than spreading their religion protecting the masses from these horrors has been their main mission statement.

3) There will be a driving story that everyone will get involved in, but that doesn't mean everyone will be in the same place or even cross paths, if that makes sense. Think of it like LOTR after the fellowship breaks up, they're all striving for the same goal but their paths don't cross. While I'm setting up the world there's a lot of room for players to influence/shape the world as they make their sheets. I always find it more enjoyable if people bring their own little elements to what's going on.
