Races

Humans are a diverse and multi-cultural species, only united in their adaptability. Each culture has different ideals that they strive for - some value wanderlust, others property, love, or hunger for knowledge. The strength of humans does not come from excellence in any single area. Instead it comes from their extreme versatility, and their ability to organize themselves to perform great works.

The lunar elves, or aenitire in their own tongue, are a reclusive sub-species of elves. Their skin color ranges between pale pink and purple, and many have deep purple hair. Lunar elves live in small groves protected by illusory magic, high in the mountains or on secluded islands. In these societies, they value working on astronomical studies or exquisite craftsmanship (especially jewelry and glasswork). Their societies are usually more active during nighttime, with most resting when the sun is out.

The diminutive middin people are closely related to halflings. They live in close-knit clans that rove around the temperate parts of the Estian sea on wooden sailing catamarans with triangular sails. Middin traders are welcome in almost all ports, as they usually bring exotic goods from far away.

These stout but majestic eagle-folk live in perches high in the mountains. They are offspring of Equilax, the great eagle spirit. Most aquilon have an innate wanderlust that drives them to explore the world they inhabit.

Bipedal wolf- and dog-people who hail from the Feywild, where they live in small nomadic packs. They can trace their ancestry to the offspring of Selypis, the Great Wolf Spirit.

The faunkin are horned forest-dwellers, distantly related to elk, moose, deer, antelopes and reindeers. They are the descendants of Alcesides, the Great Elk.

The simians are sentient ape-beings that live in lush jungles and on the great plains. They live in social herds and make their dwellings in trees, from which they have an excellent vantage point against threats. They are the descendants of Pansilla, the Great Ape Spirit of the Feywild.

The smallkin of the forest inhabit the treetops, or tunnel systems under hills. They are children of the forest and nature-herders who are rarely seen but their influence reaches far and wide throughout the woodland realm. They often settle down in villages together with ursinians.

The great ursinians live in the deep wilderness. At first glance, they look a lot like bears, but there are differences. For example, they have smaller paws with opposable thumbs, and unlike their wild forebears, they do not hibernate in winter. They rarely bother themselves with the affairs of other civilized races, but are fiercely protective of their own villages and homeland.
