Elf

Elf
Alver, or elves in common, are a species of immortal beings whose ancestry originate from the Fae Realms. From those estranged lands the elves ventured, and for this, the reasons are many and varied. Some elven societies lost their way, others their gods, some escaped the chains of faith and others to spread it further through the earthly planes. Uniting them is their searching for either solace and peace or adventure and dominion, after having to leave their sacred homes.

Æztrálv
(High Elves)

The High Elves... Æztrálver, the true bloodlines, the untainted, the pure. Æztrálver are elves that so far has been mostly unchanged from the form they once had in the Divine Realms. Their divine magic is the consequence of the blessings once granted by the gods to the elven tribes. The magic still surging within their blood, displaying the abilities of the respective gods.

Staðrálv
(City Elves)

City elves like all elves adapt to their surroundings, but unlike their other elven brethren, their communal, joyous spirit has been twisted by the urban ways.

Villrálv
(Wild Elves)

Shaped by the wilderness and by climate and weather, villrálver or wild elves in the common tongue, are a varied kind. They like all of their elven brethren are by their nature shaped by the nature around. Adapting to desolate deserts births elves of golden brown skin, with bodies resistant to heat and to thirst. The arctic kind are instead pale and blue, thin and light. With feet flat and wide to traverse the snow. The oceans births elves with gills and fins, while mountainous highlands may sprout feathery wings.

Dragonblood

Dragonblood
Dragonbloods are the descendants of ancient dragons, whom either through lust, greed, pride or mishap caused the birth of this unfortunate species. Often, the case of their birth was not of well-meaning, but rather a way for the dragons to create more worshippers, subjects to rule over, fodder for war or in many cases, just a side-effect of draining their young of arcane essence in pursuit of more power.

While dragonbloods in many cases still worship their draconic progenitors, a pinch of disdain, mistrust and bitterness towards them still lingers in their dragonblood culture. Even though they suffer at the hands of their selfish creators, their worship toward them is not unwarranted. The dragons, where they still exist, shower their subjects in gold and riches or gifts of power, as long as they get to keep the hoard. Some dragons even compel their subjects to worship them through the arcane bonds within their bloodlines.

Human

Human
Humans are a wide reaching species and a relatively old one at that. Their communities, kingdoms and empires have risen and fallen a multitude of times in many different constellations. Some have been wiped out by plagues, others wars and famine, some have even called upon the gods, and faced their retribution.

Human
(Homo Sapiens)

Sapiens are the most numerous of humans, which probably comes from an overlooked aspect of unmatched fortitude in inhospitable environments. This however is not due to their physiology and biology, but rather their adaptability and ingenuity. This could be explained by their shorter lifespan, their ambitious nature or even as superiority complex. However this came to be, they are usually the reason for tumultuous times.

Dwarves
(Homo Robustus)

Hailing inward, from the center of the flat plane, the homo robustus, or... dwarves, have a shorter stature that is in return compensated by their dense physique. Similar to sapiens in many regards, although obviously shorter, they do however possess some unique aspects. Their bones are as hard as steel and their strength and endurance outperform many creatures of a larger size. However, even though they may resemble their sapien brethren, their origins is still shrouded in mystery. On one hand, they could have developed their physique from the increased gravitational fields in the center of the flat plane. On the other hand, this might just be coincidental, as they also exhibit features unlike the other humans; like a much more extended age span, stronger constitution against poisons and a psychologically and overall personality that tend towards a structured role-centered society, leaving little room for creative thought.

Halflings
(Homo Alacritas)

Halfmen, half folk, smallfolk... halfling. Many names exist for these humans, but most or even all names come from their siblings, sapiens. Even though they still count as human, homo sapiens have in many ways taken the name 'human' for themselves. Halfling are generally a joyous folk, but rather slow in their societal advancement. This may be because unlike their taller brethren, they enjoy a long lifespan, and are far more fortunate in the grand scheme of things. Whether this is biology or fate is however up for debate.

Kalasharr

Kalasharr
Kalasharr, the tusked ones, are a communal race of humanoids that throughout their lifespan has the possibility to extensively change their features. Like butterflies, the kalasharr goes through different stages while they age, gaining a varied set of challenges, but also aptitudes when changing.

However, this transformation is not something all Kalasharr successfully goes through or even begins to achieve. A goblin can reach the end of its own lifespan without making this transformation, which would otherwise extend their lifespan.

In a generation of Kalasharr only a select few will ever go through the transformative phase, meaning that the population of older Kalasharr become remarkably fewer and fewer for each stage they progress. This effect is one of the driving forces behind their tribal hierarchy. The furry bugbears are almost always the elders in a Kalasharr tribe, having lived through many generations of their younger kind, while goblins fill a more temporary role in society, facilitating most practical matters like construction and daily affairs, and also creativity, ingenuity and invention.
