What about this for an idea?
Elves ruled the world with their mastery of magic. Bringing together the greatest sorcerers of the world, the elves tried to piece the barrier between the mortal realm and heaven to meet God. They succeeded and with their breaking of the barriers, their arrival they corrupted heaven with the sin that infects the mortal realm and mortal hearts. God leaves both heaven and this world behind, retreating for the abyss. Heaven itself is poisoned and hell invades through the influx of sin, with God gone it is now their realm. With the spiritual realms ruined, the world becomes sick. The air burns lungs, thick oily black fog swallows lesser settlements, demons roam the wilderness, the sun has been slain. This happened 1000 years ago, and life clings on, just. Elves have been reduced to a single nation after once ruling the globe and Humans use a mix of sacrifice, machinery and demons to fuel their newfound industrial ascendancy. You are either playing as an Elf angry that God rejected communion with your people and subject of the humans, or a human that is reclaiming the sick world.
