TwistedSun said Appearance – Very similar to humans, Atrendils are usually of a slender and fast built, higher than most races, with practically always a light skin and hairs, which in particular range from a pure white, to a silver or dark-grey one. Interesting how similar are Atrendil faces one to another, making sometimes highly difficult for foreign people to distinguish persons – thing that doesn’t happen to Taldrills or Atrendils themselves -.

TwistedSun said Most of Atrendils are moreover blessed after the teens with beautiful furry wings, usually of the same color of the hairs, remains of the once feathered wings of the first Atrendils.

Physcially lean, tall, with a light complexion and light skin. As well as all of this being pretty fairly homogeneous between members of their race, except perhaps with some changes in hair color between some overall goofy colors. Even your picture makes them out to look like perpetual saiyans with leathery bug wings. Per wings:You did say it an explicitly mention the "beauty" of it. The only way this could get any worse if they were still capable of flight.They come across as being a race of Edward Cullen's with wings. Something someone might expect from legend to come down and woo a race's women and steal them off to some place their men would declare horrible. In a world where the writing is sure to be defined by politics carrying their own ugliness, then they don't fit.Per magic: it's a rather abstract and poorly defined concept within the fantasy world, and if it was said "allowed but not over-powered" then we run into a case of what's the limit between acceptable and over-powering spells. Can someone cast magic missile infinitely and it's OK? Do they need to go to the level of the fire-storm summoned at the Battle of the Wraiths in the Witcher 2 franchise?Magic can be too arbitrarily played and too often carries the risk of being a magical fix-all for ailments and problems a characters will face that would be much more interestingly challenged in traditional means then someone casting hocus pocus or magic missile can clear it all out? It's more fit for table-top RPGs, in that way no one has battalions of spell casters running around de-summoning cities.

1) Fairly Homogeneous? I said they looked alike only in face and colors. Take as example eastern ethnicity if you are from Europe or America. I find personally challenging distinguishing one face from another, and they look practically identical to me in some cases. In fact, I mentioned how different the thing goes for those who are used to it.But really, Sayans? Couldn't you find a more politically-correct comparison? Slender, tall, with light hairs and skin, and you go think of sayans and not elves? Anyway, leaving jokes aside, I think you got the wrong image: they are not necessarily beautiful, paragons of grace and elegance. They are human-like; imperfection is common.

2) Subjectivity probably betrayed me again. I personally find wings of any kind (even bat ones) really beautiful and appealing. Any way, they have no aesthetic purpose; they are used and intended, obviously, to fly. And when i said furry, I apologize, because I lacked some knowledge. I meant, for furry, similar to the juvenile plumage of penguins' cubs.

3) Removing magic mows the basic concept of fantasy for me. Semi/Realistic medieval stories are not the same thing.Probably the best thing is to force every player to spit out right away every spell they intend to use, so that no problems are created when the Roleplay actually starts.Last thing: since I feel a tacit and mocking sarcasm beneath your words (may be of course only my imagination), may i ask you to keep a more neutral tone?

Hi, all! I'm backI want to thank everyone for staying so long. Especiall Dinh AaronMK - You've done superbly.

TheSovereignGrave said
Hey Feigling, how was your trip?Anyway, could we get a final and definitive decision on magic in the setting? Also, I'm having some trouble with my sheet, and to be perfectly honest I'm thinking of just scrapping my nation and creating a new one. I just can't think of what to write for the culture section. -.-

TheSovereignGrave said
Well that sounds like fun; I should visit another country some day. Get out and see new parts of the world. It'd be fun, and it's a pity it's so expensive.

But anyway, I suppose I won't be creating a new nation after all. I managed to get the culture section done for Hanartha; and anyone looking to use marriages for political purposes with the Hanarth will be sorely disappointed. :D

You say this like you're giving up, then continue like you're staying true. What is it!? :P Also, I doubt people would have gone for marriages to that effect anyways. In my experience in this genre I haven't seen anyone pursue and fill out marriages between rulers or even the royal families. Even if as a way to allow them to step out from the RP for good by effectively signing two nations over to one in a personal union.
