A small insight in order to full understand how Alex, Tohru, and Dairen work with their powers and all.
Land
The five cities have an element attached to them. Phoenix has Fire and Ether, Caeli has Light, Khi has Dark, Xerilla has Water, and Karnic has Earth. The Air Element does not have a city for itself as it was previously lost after the death of the Angel of Wind and currently resides at the bottom of the ocean (see Angels section).
Yaluria as a country is the smallest of the three (with the other two being Avaris and Tilsa). It's the most fertile and most peaceful, with forests all over the island-like continent. The cities are no more than a few miles apart, so theoretically one could jog around it within a day. However, as it isn't the most technologically advanced, there are various monsters and dangerous animals out in the forests, so one is ill-advised to travel around unless well-prepared. The residents of Yaluria all know basic weapons techniques.
It also holds the only in-tact Church of the Angels, something all three countries are dying to get their hands on. There are also several in-tact ruins and statues dotted all over the place, supposedly from the time the Angels visited the Human Realm. If not for the Church and the various ruins and statues, no one would know Angels once lived upon the land.[/ul]
Magic
Tohru is, through-and-through, a human being. He has no elven blood and no angel blood. However, as he has spent most of his time around Alex prior to his enlistment in the Yalurian Knights, he developed the ability to manipulate any kind of metal at will. As there is no "Metal Wielding" in the Tales universe, Tohru faces consequences should he use his actual powers in the Tales worlds, be it Terca Lumereis, Aselia, or Auldrant. Derris Kharlan may prove to be an exception.
Dairen is a half-demon, half-vampire. Thus, he retains properties from both species. Form his demon side, he gains the ability to manipulate the shadows around him at will, and can materialize them. When there is no shadows, he reverts to black flames from his vampiric side. his flames, however, are not nearly as powerful as his shadows.[/ul]
Yalurian History
Mika, furious and in a fit of rage, killed Sylvia.
To make matters worse, the Humans blamed the Angels for their troubles. This combined with her rage caused Mika to separate the three realms. The Elves, being loyal to Angels to the very end, joined them in the Angel Realm. Humans eventually moved out due to the evil plaguing the land and causing famine thanks to Sylvia's destruction, and the land became uninhabited. Humans didn't begin to reinhabit it until after the discovery of the Church of the Angels in 2743 K.C.
There are odd rumours of Angel sightings in the Yalurian land. However, there has never been anything confirmed. Because of these rumours, however, humans began to worship the Angels again, and prayed for their return, relearning their bitter past and hoping that one day they could be forgiven.[/ul]
Angels
Reincarnations of Angels retain the same injuries as their previous lives, but will gradually recover from them depending on the severity of the injury.
Generally speaking, the non-element-type angels are governed by the element-type. And the element-types are governed by their respective Elemental (ex. - water angels governed by Angel of Water, fire angels by Angel of Fire, etc). The hierarchy goes like so:
Hierarchy of General Angels - (In order from top to bottom)
Each Elemental housed their own "city" on Yaluria, with the exception of the Angel of Ether who shared with the Angel of Fire, as they are fairly similar. Phoenix is governed by the Fire and Ether Elementals, Caeli is governed by the Light Elemental, Khi governed by the Dark Elemental, Xerilla by Water Elemental, and Karnic by Earth.
Due to the death of the Angel of Wind, wind angels became few and died out, lacking their "governing" Elemental. Their city, whose name was lost with time, originally floated above the land of Yaluria but fell into the ocean following the Wind Elemental's death. There are rumours that the city and its inhabitants remain intact and protected by the Angel of Water's power, but any attempts to confirm this have been thwarted due by the fierceness of the ocean depths, allegedly from Luria's rage at the death of her companion.[/ul]
