Amazing Technicolor Population: In play with the Pale Elves, as their possible skin colors are bright white, light blue, or even pale green.Altar Diplomacy: A symbolic marriage between an elven queen and a human king sealed the original peace between the humans of Aedyr and the elven kingdom of Kulklin, and to this day, it's common for wood elf and human nobles in Aedyr to enter into a ceremonial haemneg in order to consolidate their holdings.They are the longest-lived amongst kith, having a normal lifespan of 200-310 years.ĭespite both being elves, pale elves and wood elves have little in common culturally, with the former being believed to have branched off some ten- to fifty-thousand years ago. Elves are known for their speed and intelligence as well as a commonly isolationist nature. Pale Elves live in the the White That Wends and are almost entirely isolated from the rest of the world, including other elves. Wood Elves are the dominant race in Eir Glanfath and are extremely common in the Dyrwood and Aedyr. Orlans have a slightly shorter lifespan, while Aumaua merely have a slightly longer one. Humans, on average, only have the second shortest lifespan amongst kith. Proud Merchant Race: The ocean folk of Vailia have naval power that outstrips Rauatai's, but prefer peaceful trade to conquest - not that this means they're above manipulating or exploiting locals in their own way.Humans by Any Other Name: Dwarves and elves are still dwarves and elves but humans are "folk".That said, Ocean Folk and Savannah Folk have far fewer portraits than the Meadow Folk do. Ocean Folk are black, Meadow Folk are white, and Savannah Folk are olive-skinned, with Ixamitl being loosely Mesoamerican-inspired. Ocean Folk are the most common human ethnicity in Old Vailia and the Vailian Republics, which means they're the most widespread in the world. Humans Are White: Averted in-universe and downplayed in a meta fashion.Humans Are Survivors: Humans' racial ability is Fighting Spirit, giving them a 5-second boost to Accuracy and Damage the first time their Endurance drops below 50% each encounter.Unlike other races, all humans do have the same racial talent (Fighting Spirit), however. They have a racial bonus to their stats (Might and Resolve) and a racial talent like any other species. Humans Are Average: Somewhat averted, for once.Heroic Spirit: Humans are known for being strong-willed, start with a bonus to their Might and Resolve, and have a racial talent called Fighting Spirit.Born Under the Sail: The Ocean Folk have a very long tradition for being skilled sailors and exploring the seas of Eora, this being the main reason why they have become a Proud Merchant Race.They are further sorted into three broad ethnic groups: the Meadow Folk, the Ocean Folk, and the Savannah Folk A human lifespan is typically between 60-100 years. Though not as large as the towering aumaua, humans are known for their strength and willpower. Humans, more commonly known as folk in the setting, are the most common race in the Dyrwood, the Aedyr Empire, Old Vailia, and the Vailian Republics.
