Mount Vardan, is an isolated territory of Kembre. There is only one large village, located high up the mountain, where the air is thin and always full of Katar stone dust, blowing around from the old emptied quarries and mines, all over the mountain.
Kembre owns about half of Mount Vardan, the territory line that mark off the end of their ownership, is really a long wide bottomless crack that goes all the way across the mountain.
The Vardan People - There are no schools or books, they don't see a purpose for reading or writing. They keep history through stories and songs. They learn how to hunt for their meat, goat herd, trade properly, and most of all mine Katar Stone.
There are no farms, so most food other than meat and cheese is bought through the traders.
The people ages 12-65 work in the quarry, the culture is focused around a shared working life in the quarry. its a hardworking, dedicated, and close-knit village, they live A happy simple life, without the politics, and evils of the lowlanders.
(lowlanders = is what they call all people not from the mountain village)
The only thing they mine, is a stone called Katar. Katar is the mountains only crop.
Over centuries whenever one quarry ran out of Katar, the villagers dug a new one, moving the village into the old quarry. Each of the mountains quarries has produced slight variations of the brilliant white Katar stone. They have mined Katar marbled with pale veins of pink, blue, green, yellow, silver, and now purple.
Katar is rare, so rare in fact that the only known place to find it, is high up on Mount Vardan. And the only people that can Mine it perfectly, are the Vardan Villagers also known as Stone-Singers.
This is the stone that allows the villagers their livelihood, through trade in the summer and spring months. None of the villagers normally ever leave the village, seeing as they know hardly anything about the rest of the world, except from what they see of the greedy traders, and bandits.
Vardan people are much stronger than even the strongest lowlander. They all are Stone-Singers. (Native Vardan people are called Vardanians)
Stone-Singing is a form of communication. For generations quarry workers have used a silent form of speech to communicate in the quarries. Stone-Song will work anywhere where there is Katar stone. All one has to do is to use shared common memories and keep on touch with the stone so the speech flows. If one does not share the common memory they will get the closest like-form that they have of a memory. Stone-Singers also have an affinity for all forms of rock/stone/metals/gems but mainly Katar. They are great metalworkers, smiths and stoneworkers. All people in the village know by heart the traditional song and stories of Vardan. The songs have meanings and messages to them that aid one when stone-singing.
Vardan people don't practice any form of religion, they do believe in reincarnation.
They dress mostly in leathers, furs, and Wool, but also gain fabric such as velvet, silk, cotton, and flax, from the traders. (Think Viking like clothing styles)
Surnames are rather different from the rest of the world in Vardan. A daughter takes her fathers first name and adds daughter to the end of it, where a Son takes his mothers first name and adds son to the end. Example (also they have very viking/Nature/Frankish sounding names)

Declan Island
Declan is the island territory of Aldentine. There are many little villages throughout the island home of the Dragoth people. There is one port town called Sabbia, which many retired pirates, bandits, and soldiers call home.
The Declan Island Natives AKA the Dragoth people
-- Physical Characteristics --
Other than the following, Dragoth are completely Human in appearance.
Hair - Colors range from white to black and every color in-between. Many have White, light blonde, red, or black hair but quite a few Dragoth people can be found with shades of blue, green, purple, or pink hair as there natural color. Dark blondes, and browns are more rare.
Eyes - Come in all colors of the rainbow. Many have vertical slit pupils, or no pupils at all. Heterochromia is also prominent.
Skin - Skin tones range from snow white, to dark tan. Under moonlight Dragoth people have a slight glow to their skin. On nights of the new moon (no Moon in sky) Dragoth skin glows silvery, and a pattern of scales appears, until the sun breaks the horizon.
Blood – pure Dragoth Blood is blue in color.
Half-Dragoth -- One parent is dragoth, and the other not, equals half-bloods. They are born sterile. Their blood is purple in color. Their blood has strange magical qualities, when used in alchemy, and is therefore prized because of it. Half-Dragoth people use to be a rare thing, back before Declan Island became a Aldentine territory, mixing with non-dragoth was frowned upon, and in some villages if caught you would be exiled, in that last 40 years that stigma/rule has all but been forgotten, except by the older generation.

- Basic Info -
Dragoth are the natives of Declan Island, and are all Magic-Blood people.
Dragoth people are not affected by any poisons.
They are only race that can understand and speak to dragons without needing to bond to a dragon. (this speech is done telepathically)
The Dragoth people can form a sacred bond with a dragon, if the dragon chooses so. With this bond their life span become much longer and the ageing process slows dramatically.
Strangely Dragoth people are cold blooded in the same way as reptiles, so they live in the desert and hot regions easily. Cold weather, snow, and winter weather causes them to be sluggish, tired, and stiff.

King Maurice became king six years ago after his father the late King Jasper died from an accidental overdose of mercury medication. The physician that gave him the dosage, and his apprentice were later executed for their mistake. The tradition of the Selymar royals on gaining the throne after the last ruler dies is rather brutal. The children of the Late ruler must kill all of their own siblings, to be the last one standing, and then they can be King/Queen. One can choose not to participate in Fight for succession, but in turn they must claim no right to the throne even if all other siblings are killed. The Game/fight only lasted a matter of two weeks, as King Maurice Killed his brother Prince Jacques by barricading all of the windows and doors of his estate and burning the place down with Jacques wife and child inside, without even bating an eyelash I might say. His sister Nicole was killed by Jacques days before by drowning her in her bath even after Nicole chose to give up her right to the throne. Jacques also poisoned Maurice's wine, but his wife Marie drank it instead and died. He Hates all form of magic and he also Hates the elves race. His sister Nicole was someone he love dearly and he would have let her have the throne if she wanted it.(Age 36) - Taken by Emma

(Fiefs: Its Like a State within a country, but Ruled over by Dukes/duchess. Within a Fief, the towns, cities, and the surrounding farmlands are ruled over by a Baron, marquess, Earl, or Count. Then there are smaller villages ruled over by a lord, or landed knight. )

Selymar owns about half of Mount Vardan, the territory line that mark off the end of their ownership, is really a long wide bottomless crack that goes all the way across the mountain. Unlike Kembre's Mount Vardan territory, there is no Katar stone to be found, just many ancient empty quarries. Their also are no Vadanians, seeing as the one and only village is in Kembre's territory. At the foot of Mount Vardan there are many Coal and Iron Ore Mines that the Selymar slaves work in. The Mount Vardan Canyon (the line that splits Mount Vardan territories) is home to the famous hidden black market/city also known as Mauvais City.
Mauvais city a huge, dirty, and lawless. Practically every person who lives there is a criminal or in hiding. It is a mix of, opium dens/black markets/red-light district/bars/drugs/dark magics/and so on. The entrance to Mauvais is kinda hidden behind a large boulder, but not purposely, no one cares who comes and goes from this city. There are many Demons, Humans, and elves who live there.
Other than that, Selymar's side of the mountain has become home to runaway slaves, bandits, thieves, and most of at all, the many evil beasts, and creatures of the land of Aveeno.

Riosian is a generalized name for the native people of Riosa. There are eight different tribes, one of which is nomadic.
Name of Tribe: Mogo
Commonly Called: Barbarians, Nomadic Riosian, Nomads, Mogo Raiders, and Savages.
Lifespan: As they are human they have the ability to live to the average age of 85, but do to their harsh lifestyle, and warrior ways average life expectancy is around 50-60. Woman tend to live longer then men, that is if they don't die to complications after giving birth.
Appearance: Fit, muscular, and brawny do to their lifestyle as nomadic warriors. They are the most ethically mixed of the native Riosian tribes do to their copulating with slaves taken from the different villages and tribes. Eye and hair color very, but the most common are as follows: Hair - Brown, black, and auburn. Eyes - Brown, amber, Hazel, and Yellow. Spending practically all their lives outside, except for when sleeping in tents, they are very tan by the sun. Typical skin tones range, but there are some who are slightly lighter, and darker.
Abilities: They have no inborn magical abilities as they are ordinary humans, but they are genetically much more athletic, and more immune to skins cancers, and sunburns.
Beliefs: They live by taking what they need including supplies, valuables, and new captives to serve them as slaves. They take pride in feats of strength, horsemanship, archery, and hunting. (children born of their slaves are adopted into the tribe, and raised as a Mogo.) They consider birds to be sacred, so they do not hunt or eat them, nor their eggs.
Religion: They engage in shamanic rituals during the full moon, and believe in a supreme sky goddess, they call Göttina.
Traditions: They are ruled over by the strongest Mogo person, and a counsel of elders. The ruler is called 'höchste', and can be a man or a woman. There is a tournament held every five years, that is held to determine who the höchste is or will be. Any Mogo person over the age of 16 can enter. Each person fights one on one battles, and the winner of those battle move on to another and so on, until there is one left and they fight the current höchste, whoever wins it, becomes the new höchste. The counsel of elders is made up of seven men/woman who are elected by the people, and are typically ex-höchste, and decorated warriors, though anyone can be elected.
Language: The Mogo have their own language, and only a few can speak the common language of Aveeno. They do not have a written language, and see no reason for it. Their language is similar to the other native Riosian languages so communication is not much of an issue. (Mogo Language = Google translator 'German')
History: Unknown - They do not keep any written records or histories. They have only a dozen or so stories that have been passed down through the ages that tell tales about their sky goddess creating the world, and stories about legendary warriors and battles.
Lifestyle: A nomadic hunter-gatherer warrior tribe, they sweep across the vast central plains of Riosa in search of plunder. The Mogo people are always on the move looking for new pasture lands and targets for plundering. They frequently raid the other tribes around Riosa.
- Family - In the traditional Mogo family, each son receives a part of the family herd after he marries, with the elder son receiving more than the younger sons. The youngest son remains in the parental tent caring for his parents, and after their death he inherits the parental tent in addition to his own part of the herd. Daughters are married off, a year after their first menstruation. Many also keep pet dogs, which are trained in hunting.
- Housing - They are all about portable shelter. They live in tents made of leather, and other animal hides. Rope, and wooden dowels are used to shape and support the dwelling. Beds resemble thin crude futons, and are made from animal furs, and stuffed with dried grasses and hay. Other then baskets, wooden bowls, and clay
pots there is really no other furniture made or use by the Mogo.
- Clothes - Blankets and clothing are made from leather, animal fur, and woven wool/flax fibers. You can google 'prehistoric clothes' to see what their clothing style resembles. Jewelry and other decorative items are also worn, but are usually stolen by the Mogo from the tribes they pillaged. Art and crafting are not something they deem important use of time. They have no qualms about nudity, weather female or male.
Education: There is no formal education within the Mogo Tribe. Children learn by doing, and are taught to talk, walk, cook, ride horses, hunt, and fight.
Famous: Within the tribe their are quite a few famous warriors. But outside the tribe there are not any considered or seen as historically significant.
- Höchste Ozan - Current Höchste of the tribe.
Names: Mogo people only have a first name. There are no middle names or surnames. In some cases when more then one person has the same name then they are referred to by their name plus a descriptive word. Example: There are three people named John, so the oldest is called 'John', the next is call 'Red John' because of his hair color, and the third is call 'little John' because he is short. Keep in mind the descriptive word would be in their native language. So red in Mogo (German) is Rot, and little is Wenig. For traditional Mogo names refer to names of Turkish origin.
- Common Female Names: Melis, Seda, Pembe, Rabia, and Yonca.
- Common Male Names: Enver, Hikmet, Koray, Mustafa, and Rizvan.
Other: They cremate their dead, and sprinkle the ashes into the wind during the full moon.

Name of Tribe: Treva
Commonly Called: Qutrelian, Natives, Riosian, and Treva people.
Lifespan: They normally live to the average age of 70.
Appearance: The primary skin tone of the Treva people is dark brown. Eyes and hair also tend to be shades of dark brown and black. In the newer generation, green and hazel eyes have shown up in some individuals do to the influx of Selymar traders, and settlers.
Abilities: They have no inborn magical abilities as they are ordinary humans.
Beliefs: It is a grave dishonor for a man to injure a woman, even accidentally. Unwanted attention from a man towards a woman is forbidden. Women are revered as being holy, imbued with magical power, and the special ability of prophecy. People believe that, depending on how twins are treated, they can bring either fortune or misfortune to their families and the tribe. For this reason, twins receive special attention. Woman who died in childbirth are glorified in the same way as a warrior who died in battle, and she is honored for her courage.
Religion: Treva follow the Qutreli Religion.
Traditions: They follow all of the Qutreli Religions traditions and practices. Outside the religious traditions such as weddings, funerals, and worship, they have three traditions unique to the Treva tribe.
1 - White and red paint is worn one the arms during official tribal gatherings and celebrations. The paint depicts symbols that represent ones status, and states the individuals occupation, achievements, marital status, and talents.
2 - Lost baby teeth are used to convey parents’ hopes for the child's future. For example, if they want their child to be devout, they might bury the tooth near a shrine.
3 - Treva people are always garlanded by a crown of leaves or fresh flowers on their birthdays. There is a celebration held in the home from dawn till dusk. The family prepares the traditional festive Treva foods of Sweet bean paste, crystallised citrus peels, honey acorn hotcakes, seaweed oyster soup, pickled beets, garlic goat cheese, and spicy pork sausage. Quests can come and go from the home, leaving gifts, blessings, and treats for the birthday girl/boy after enjoying some of the laid out foods. Song, Dance, music, and stories are the main entertainment.
Language: The Treva have their own language that is also shared with the Anjou and Denka tribes. Practically all Treva people can speak the common language of Aveeno. They also use the common language for writing purposes, and have translated their ancient runic symbols into the common written language. Their language is similar to the other native Riosian languages, so communication is not much of an issue. (Treva Language = Google translator 'Dutch')
History: As a native tribal people of Riosa their history is full of feuds between other tribes, wars over land, and battles over various things. The Treva keep a written record of their histories. They've had times of famine, peace, plague, war, and prosperity. All of the Treva Chiefs have testimonial scrolls written about them after they die. These scrolls detail about their time as leaders, and subsequent accomplishments. Over 50 years ago, when Selymar sailors discovered the continent of Riosa and its natives, the Treva were one of the first tribes to accept the outsiders and established trade with them. Other then raids for the Mogo, the Treva have been relatively peaceful over the last 70 years.
Lifestyle: Women are generally highly regarded. Women are respected members of the community and can even be warriors if they chose. Men and women are considered equal within the tribe, and are not subservient to men, or vise versa. There are distinct gender roles within the society, but they are not mandatory or fully expected. The tribe is best known for their colorful woven fabrics, and mastery of animal husbandry.
- Family - Marriage is a sacred institution in the eyes of both the tribe and their religion. A bride brings to her marriage, a dowry in the form of a certain amount of money, or livestock. The groom brings his inherited land, and home. Treva do not practice arranged marriages, as they only marry for love. Traditionally a Wife's role in the family is to manage the households money and domestics. Her typical tasks include: Child rearing, weaving, cooking, making cheese, making soap, doing laundry, conducting trade, gardening, milking goats, spinning wool, and household shopping. Woman are also the primary authority within the family in regards to medicine, healing, and religious observance. Husband's are traditionally the providers for the family, and they tend to work outside the home, but some trades can be done from home. Men, Woman, and children all work the fields together.
- Housing - They live in homes made of wooden logs and mud. These one room homes, have fireplace that is used for heat and cooking. Animal hide is used as a door during the winters, but otherwise the doorway is left open. Inside on each side are raised benches that double as seating area during the day and beds at night. Underneath there is storage for blankets, cloth, pillows, and wooden chests containing buttons, brooches, pins, soap, hair ribbon, and other things. Above the fireplace is shelving where bowls, and pots containing berries, cheese, and jerky are kept. Spoons and pans hang under the shelves above the fireplace. Hammocks are hung in the corners, and usually hold a multitude of things like, yarn, toys, and food such as onions, potatoes, carrots, and squash. Its common to see dried chili peppers, flowers, and herbs hanging from the ceiling inside the home. On one wall a vertical loom is attached, and is used for making cloth, and weaving tapestries. The opposite wall usually has hooks to hang stuff on.
- Clothes - Traditional Treva clothes are made of linen or wool fabric. Cloth are worn as Togas, wrapped, draped, and in tied sash styles, similar to what we know as Grecian or ancient Greek style. Since clothing is rarely cut or sewn, pretty fasteners and buttons are often used to keep garments in place. Small buttons, pins and brooches are normally made from metals such as gold and silver. Elaborate braided hairstyles are common for women, and colorful ribbons and yarn are usually woven into the hair. Newer fabrics gained through trade such as silk, and cotton have become very popular.
Education:
- Children between the ages of 3 and 8 years old attend the village school for five hours a day. This is where they learn reading, writing, basic math, plant identification, morals, laws, Tribal History/legends, fishing, swimming, painting, and astronomy.
- When they turn nine years old, they only attend school for two-three hours a day. The rest of the day they are now expected to help with the chores at home, and work in the fields. Formal education ends at the age of twelve.
- When boys turn twelve years old, they are to begin their apprenticeship in their chosen career paths. Typically young boys apprentice under their fathers or other relative for free, but if they can pay a fee then one can apprentice in any career. This is also the time when boys can choose to start training as a warrior.
- When girls turn twelve their formal education ends, and they begin their two year seclusion within the shrine house. The girls learn the arts of healing, medicine, food preservation, weaving, midwifery, cooking, knitting, money management, calligraphy, and they attend to the priestesses.

The family prepares the traditional festive Treva foods of Sweet bean paste, crystallised citrus peels, honey acorn hotcakes, seaweed oyster soup, pickled beets, garlic goat cheese, and spicy pork sausage. Quests can come and go from the home, leaving gifts, blessings, and treats for the birthday girl/boy after enjoying some of the laid out foods. Song, Dance, music, and stories are the main entertainment.
Language: The Treva have their own language that is also shared with the Anjou and Denka tribes. Practically all Treva people can speak the common language of Aveeno. They also use the common language for writing purposes, and have translated their ancient runic symbols into the common written language. Their language is similar to the other native Riosian languages, so communication is not much of an issue. (Treva Language = Google translator 'Dutch')
History: As a native tribal people of Riosa their history is full of feuds between other tribes, wars over land, and battles over various things. The Treva keep a written record of their histories. They've had times of famine, peace, plague, war, and prosperity. All of the Treva Chiefs have testimonial scrolls written about them after they die. These scrolls detail about their time as leaders, and subsequent accomplishments. Over 50 years ago, when Selymar sailors discovered the continent of Riosa and its natives, the Treva were one of the first tribes to accept the outsiders and established trade with them. Other then raids for the Mogo, the Treva have been relatively peaceful over the last 70 years.
Lifestyle: Women are generally highly regarded. Women are respected members of the community and can even be warriors if they chose. Men and women are considered equal within the tribe, and are not subservient to men, or vise versa. There are distinct gender roles within the society, but they are not mandatory or fully expected. The tribe is best known for their colorful woven fabrics, and mastery of animal husbandry.
- Family - Marriage is a sacred institution in the eyes of both the tribe and their religion. A bride brings to her marriage, a dowry in the form of a certain amount of money, or livestock. The groom brings his inherited land, and home. Treva do not practice arranged marriages, as they only marry for love. Traditionally a Wife's role in the family is to manage the households money and domestics. Her typical tasks include: Child rearing, weaving, cooking, making cheese, making soap, doing laundry, conducting trade, gardening, milking goats, spinning wool, and household shopping. Woman are also the primary authority within the family in regards to medicine, healing, and religious observance. Husband's are traditionally the providers for the family, and they tend to work outside the home, but some trades can be done from home. Men, Woman, and children all work the fields together.
- Housing - They live in homes made of wooden logs and mud. These one room homes, have fireplace that is used for heat and cooking. Animal hide is used as a door during the winters, but otherwise the doorway is left open. Inside on each side are raised benches that double as seating area during the day and beds at night. Underneath there is storage for blankets, cloth, pillows, and wooden chests containing buttons, brooches, pins, soap, hair ribbon, and other things. Above the fireplace is shelving where bowls, and pots containing berries, cheese, and jerky are kept. Spoons and pans hang under the shelves above the fireplace. Hammocks are hung in the corners, and usually hold a multitude of things like, yarn, toys, and food such as onions, potatoes, carrots, and squash. Its common to see dried chili peppers, flowers, and herbs hanging from the ceiling inside the home. On one wall a vertical loom is attached, and is used for making cloth, and weaving tapestries. The opposite wall usually has hooks to hang stuff on.
- Clothes - Traditional Treva clothes are made of linen or wool fabric. Cloth are worn as Togas, wrapped, draped, and in tied sash styles, similar to what we know as Grecian or ancient Greek style. Since clothing is rarely cut or sewn, pretty fasteners and buttons are often used to keep garments in place. Small buttons, pins and brooches are normally made from metals such as gold and silver. Elaborate braided hairstyles are common for women, and colorful ribbons and yarn are usually woven into the hair. Newer fabrics gained through trade such as silk, and cotton have become very popular.
Education:
- Children between the ages of 3 and 8 years old attend the village school for five hours a day. This is where they learn reading, writing, basic math, plant identification, morals, laws, Tribal History/legends, fishing, swimming, painting, and astronomy.
- When they turn nine years old, they only attend school for two-three hours a day. The rest of the day they are now expected to help with the chores at home, and work in the fields. Formal education ends at the age of twelve.
- When boys turn twelve years old, they are to begin their apprenticeship in their chosen career paths. Typically young boys apprentice under their fathers or other relative for free, but if they can pay a fee then one can apprentice in any career. This is also the time when boys can choose to start training as a warrior.
- When girls turn twelve their formal education ends, and they begin their two year seclusion within the shrine house. The girls learn the arts of healing, medicine, food preservation, weaving, midwifery, cooking, knitting, money management, calligraphy, and they attend to the priestesses.

- Housing - Homes are rather different then the typical house most people think of. Families live together their whole lives: mothers, father, grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles all live in one home together. An Emoli person's home consists of a shoveled out pit, that is encircled by a wall made of snow. Within the walls, are clusters of animal skin tents, used for sleeping and privacy. Then there is the large igloo structure, that is the common room of the home, where meals, and most of the day is spent. Centered in the Emoli home is a fire pit used for cooking, and far off in the back are mini clay domes for livestock and chickens to stay in. The picture link shows an Emoli family home, not a village as it might seem. These homes are all around the Emoli tribal area, and are connected through carved out paths in the snow. All houses connect via paths to the village center, were trade, gatherings, festivals, tribunal, weddings, and executions are held. The Village center is also where the greenhouses, school, and tribes canoes are located.

This people are natives of Mount Vardan. An isolated territory of Kembre. There is only one large village, located high up the mountain, where the air is thin and always full of Katar stone dust, blowing around from the old emptied quarries and mines, all over the mountain.
There are no schools or books, they don't see a purpose for reading or writing. They keep history through stories and songs. They learn how to hunt for their meat, goat herd, trade properly, and most of all mine Katar Stone.
There are no farms, so most food other than meat and cheese is bought through the traders.
The people ages 12-65 work in the quarry, the culture is focused around a shared working life in the quarry. its a hardworking, dedicated, and close-knit village, they live A happy simple life, without the politics, and evils of the lowlanders.
(lowlanders = is what they call all people not from the mountain village)
The only thing they mine, is a stone called Katar. Katar is the mountains only crop.
Over centuries whenever one quarry ran out of Katar, the villagers dug a new one, moving the village into the old quarry. Each of the mountains quarries has produced slight variations of the brilliant white Katar stone. They have mined Katar marbled with pale veins of pink, blue, green, yellow, silver, and now purple.
Katar is rare, so rare in fact that the only known place to find it, is high up on Mount Vardan. And the only people that can Mine it perfectly, are the Vardan Villagers also known as Stone-Singers.
This is the type of stone that allows the villagers their livelihood, through trade in the summer and spring months. None of the villagers normally ever leave the village, seeing as they know hardly anything about the rest of the world, except from what they see of the greedy traders, and bandits.
Vardan people are much stronger than even the strongest lowlander. They all are Stone-Singers.
(Native Vardan people are called Vardanians)
Stone-Singing is a form of communication. For generations quarry workers have used a silent form of speech to communicate in the quarries. Stone-Song will work anywhere where there is Katar stone. All one has to do is to use shared common memories and keep on touch with the stone so the speech flows. If one does not share the common memory they will get the closest like-form that they have of a memory. Stone-Singers also have an affinity for all forms of rock/stone/metals/gems but mainly Katar. They are great metalworkers, smiths and stoneworkers. All people in the village know by heart the traditional song and stories of Vardan. The songs have meanings and messages to them that aid one when stone-singing.
Vardan people don't practice any form of religion, though they do believe in reincarnation.
They dress mostly in leathers, furs, and Wool, but also gain fabric such as velvet, silk, cotton, and flax, from the traders. (Think Viking like clothing styles)
Surnames are rather different from the rest of the world in Vardan. A daughter takes her fathers first name and adds daughter to the end of it, where a Son takes his mothers first name and adds son to the end. Example (also they have very viking/Nature/Frankish sounding names)

- Basic Info -
Dragoth are the natives of Declan Island, and are all Magic-Blood people.
Dragoth people are not affected by any poisons.
They are only race that can understand and speak to dragons without needing to bond to a dragon. (this speech is done telepathically)
The Dragoth people can form a sacred bond with a dragon, if the dragon chooses so. With this bond their life span become much longer and the ageing process slows dramatically.
Strangely Dragoth people are cold blooded in the same way as reptiles, so they live in the desert and hot regions easily. Cold weather, snow, and winter weather causes them to be sluggish, tired, and stiff.

Males averaging around 6'2" to 6'7" in height, and females around 5'10" to 6'4". The do physically age slower then humans, so when they are 50 years old, they look like they are in their late 30s. Basically elves never look older then a human does by their mid 60s. They are also less prone to wrinkles, and age spots.
Abilities: They are resistant to the extremes of nature. Their hearing and sight, are much keener than humans, this is mainly do to their affinity with nature, and high spatial awareness.
Beliefs: Men and women are considered completely equal within the elvish culture. The believe all life is to be respected, and thus are vegetarians. The elderly are treated with complete respect, as age comes before status in most cases. Knowledge and wisdom are very important to them. Many elves are professors, historians, scholars, record keepers, writers, philosophers, researchers, and librarians.
Religion: Their is no official set religion within the traditional elvish communities. They do believe that nature is sacred, and needs to be shown respect and care. Other then that elves can choose to be apart of what ever religion they please, or none at all.
Traditions:
Births - Following a one-year pregnancy, the elvishae mother is always happy to finally give birth. They happily join in the festivities honoring their newborn. Such celebrations typically last around four days and conclude with the naming of the infant. Gifts and well-wishes are typically bestowed upon an elf child at birth by family and close friends of the parents. After the four days of celebration, the mother starts her six weeks of 'Alrrabita'. Alrrabita is when new mothers abstain from sex, certain foods and strenuous activity. During this time, they solely dedicate themselves to breastfeeding and taking care of the baby. Other members of the family often pitch in with cooking, cleaning and watching the rest of the children.
Coming of Age - On an elf's twenty-first birthday, The elf, his or her parents, friends, and any witnesses desired form a circle around the birthday elf. The elf speaks in turn to each of the witnesses and to his father and mother, thanking them for the love and guidance they gave him throughout his childhood. Then recites the Elvishae passage to adulthood poem. Before them all, he declares himself an adult no longer in need of protection. Each of them then welcome him formally into the adult community. Many Elf's then leave the next day, for a year long journey called Shaykhukha, which is basically a year of travel, self discovery, and being completely on their own for the first time.
Weddings - The marriage ceremony itself is typically very formal, and is presided over by an Elder Elvishae family member. Both bride and groom wear long white, flowing silk robes marked in silver and gold threads. The bride a groom stand in front of a sacred tree (tree over the age of 1000 years) and the Elder Elf asks everyone to clasp hands, as the bride and groom kneel in front of each other. A woven crown of silver flowers, and golden ivy is placed on the brides head by the groom. And the bride places a crown of golden straw, and silver feathers upon the grooms head. The elder then places a sapling between the Bride and Groom. Then he holds out the rings (typically made from carved moonstone or jade.) and the bride and groom exchange their vows as they entwine their hands. The elder elf uses a multi-colored woven cord and binds the couple's joined hands together. Then everyone joins in a celebration feast, as the newlyweds plant the sapling next to their home.
Funeral - The ritual takes place during midnight two days after death, in a place far from any inhabitation. Each participant holds a single, darkened source of light; typically a candle. Beginning with the spouse of the deceased or his closest living relative, each participant shares a favourite memory of the departed. As each speaks, he lights his candle. The spouse or chosen relative steps into the centre of the softly glowing ring of light and speaks of the tales of the deceased that he will share with others, and which heirlooms the deceased has chosen to pass on to descendants. Once the spouse or relative has finished speaking, all extinguish their lights as they speak aloud the deceased's name in unison. In the renewed darkness, all participants leave the ritual site, none speaking a word to another.
Language: Elves do have their own language outside the predominant Common language. This language is referred to as Elvish, but was once traditionally called Koijuka. For translation purposes use google translate English to Arabic. It is a dying language as hardly any elves born in the last 50 years know more then a few words of it. And older elves are weary that it will be completely forgotten within the next three generations. Elvish is taught in Narni to castors, and ____ as many spells are written in Elvish.
History:
Stereotypes: Generalized personality stereotypical
Lifestyle: Home dwellings, clothes, communities, food, pets,

Names: Traditionally elves do not have middle names. They have a first name, A family name, and then their profession in elvish. Example John Jones Merchant, or Jane Jones Nurse. If you look at the Famous Elvish people you can also see examples: Sahira means Witch, Zaeim means Leader, Shaeir means poet, and Malika means Queen.

Males averaging around 6'2" to 6'7" in height, and females around 5'10" to 6'4". The do physically age slower then humans, so when they are 50 years old, they look like they are in their late 30s. Basically elves never look older then a human does by their mid 60s. They are also less prone to wrinkles, and age spots.

Traditions:
Births - Following a one-year pregnancy, the elvishae mother is always happy to finally give birth. They happily join in the festivities honoring their newborn. Such celebrations typically last around four days and conclude with the naming of the infant. Gifts and well-wishes are typically bestowed upon an elf child at birth by family and close friends of the parents. After the four days of celebration, the mother starts her six weeks of 'Alrrabita'. Alrrabita is when new mothers abstain from sex, certain foods and strenuous activity. During this time, they solely dedicate themselves to breastfeeding and taking care of the baby. Other members of the family often pitch in with cooking, cleaning and watching the rest of the children.
Coming of Age - On an elf's twenty-first birthday, The elf, his or her parents, friends, and any witnesses desired form a circle around the birthday elf. The elf speaks in turn to each of the witnesses and to his father and mother, thanking them for the love and guidance they gave him throughout his childhood. Then recites the Elvishae passage to adulthood poem. Before them all, he declares himself an adult no longer in need of protection. Each of them then welcome him formally into the adult community. Many Elf's then leave the next day, for a year long journey called Shaykhukha, which is basically a year of travel, self discovery, and being completely on their own for the first time.
Weddings - The marriage ceremony itself is typically very formal, and is presided over by an Elder Elvishae family member. Both bride and groom wear long white, flowing silk robes marked in silver and gold threads. The bride a groom stand in front of a sacred tree (tree over the age of 1000 years) and the Elder Elf asks everyone to clasp hands, as the bride and groom kneel in front of each other. A woven crown of silver flowers, and golden ivy is placed on the brides head by the groom. And the bride places a crown of golden straw, and silver feathers upon the grooms head. The elder then places a sapling between the Bride and Groom. Then he holds out the rings (typically made from carved moonstone or jade.) and the bride and groom exchange their vows as they entwine their hands. The elder elf uses a multi-colored woven cord and binds the couple's joined hands together. Then everyone joins in a celebration feast, as the newlyweds plant the sapling next to their home.
Funeral - The ritual takes place during midnight two days after death, in a place far from any inhabitation. Each participant holds a single, darkened source of light; typically a candle. Beginning with the spouse of the deceased or his closest living relative, each participant shares a favourite memory of the departed. As each speaks, he lights his candle. The spouse or chosen relative steps into the centre of the softly glowing ring of light and speaks of the tales of the deceased that he will share with others, and which heirlooms the deceased has chosen to pass on to descendants. Once the spouse or relative has finished speaking, all extinguish their lights as they speak aloud the deceased's name in unison. In the renewed darkness, all participants leave the ritual site, none speaking a word to another.
Language: Elves do have their own language outside the predominant Common language. This language is referred to as Elvish, but was once traditionally called Koijuka. For translation purposes use google translate English to Arabic. It is a dying language as hardly any elves born in the last 50 years know more then a few words of it. And older elves are weary that it will be completely forgotten within the next three generations. Elvish is taught in Narni to castors, and ____ as many spells are written in Elvish.

Demons exist alongside humans, and in there own realm known as the 'Underworld'. Many types of Demons closely resemble humans, while others are more strange in appearance. There are over 100 documented types of demons. Here are some listed below.
Genetics - Demons can mate with any of the races, and produce offspring with them. These offspring are called halflings if one of the parents is not a demon race. Halflings are a mixture of their parents, and their inherited demonic powers are weak at best. When two demons have a baby together, that child with only take after one parent. So if a vampire woman and a Weevil man have a child, that child would be ether a vampire or a Weevil demon, not both, not a mix of the two. Some Demon species are more dominate then others. If the demon parents are the same type of demon then of course their child will be the same demon type as them.
----------------------------------
Goblin - Illiterate, grotesquely evil, and are constantly annoying little demons, unkind and mean. Goblins are described as 3–4 feet tall, thin, brown, and very ugly, with a huge long nose and ears to match. Most are bald including the females. Crossing them is a thing to avoid as they have refined a grudge to a fine art. They live underground, in caves, and the wasteland.
Changelings - Changelings are sickly fairy babies that fairies leave in the cribs of humans, after they have taken a human newborn from it. Changelings are usually small and pale, and tend to die very young. The stolen human babies, when touched by the fairy, become fairies themselves. The rare changeling that survives past adolescent, are inherently malicious, and slowly go mad until they become a shell of a person and die.
Vampire - Are a species of demon which inhabit and animates fresh human corpses. They possess all the memories, skills, attributes, and qualities of their human predecessors, and much of their personalities, including any mental illnesses. Abilities include, enhanced strength, speed, endurance, agility, senses, and healing, all of which increase as they grow older. They also possess the ability to drain a human and/or other creature of every last drop of its blood in but a few seconds, as they live off blood. They also do not need air, though they can breathe to speak or smoke, they are semi-immortal, and can be killed with a stake through the heart, burning by fire, or their head being severed. Like a corpses they have a Lack of heartbeat and body heat. The sun does not harm them, but they are naturally nocturnal Demons.
Fire Demon - another species of Demon. Looks human, but has small horns, a long skinny pointed tail, and sometimes bat-like wings. They can control fire, in the forms of fireballs, sparks, and shooting flame daggers. When using there powers there eyes turn completely black.
Incubus/Succubus - Look like an average human, but they have a series of large black or greenish colored veins that appear on their back under there skin. Over an unknown amount of time, their bodies lose energy and they go out of balance. Eventually that balance swings to the point that they need to replace the lost energy or die. As their need for that energy increases over time, the black and green veins on their backs, increase dramatically onto the arms, chest, face, legs, and neck. To replenish their energy, they feed, they take the life force from their victim by kissing them, or through sex. They can seduces and manipulate through skin to skin contact. This contact is very pleasurable and usually eliminates their victim's resistance so they can feed, engage in sex, or control the person to their advantage (such as acquiring information from a target). The victim can be left confused about what had come over him or her, or without a memory of what had happened.
Shapeshifter - are a species of Demon that are human in appearance. They can copy another animal's body and morph into an exact copy of that animal. The animal does not have to be a similar size to the shifter. However a basic shifter can not shift into another human/elf/darwf as they are too complex to copy. To earn the ability to shift into a human a shifter must kill a fellow shifter family member. This turns them into a Skinwalker, capable of turning into any animal on earth (including humans). Shapeshifters also have a go to shift, which is a shift they find easy to copy. When there is a full moon in the sky at night, shapeshifters are driven to shift into their animal for the entire duration of the full moon. Shapeshifters can't retain their clothing when they change, so when they change back into a human, they appear naked.
Mahiri - Aka nightmare demon. The look similar to a human/elf but with furry ears like a cat or fox, and sometimes a tail to match. They live of the essence of nightmares. They devour nightmares, and fear emotions. The Mahiri like many other types of demon, can be summoned, but do this with caution, because if the Mahiri is not satisfied after consuming the nightmare, they may also devour your hopes, memories, and dreams. They typically reside in the underworld, and come to the human world only to eat nightmares.
Weevil - A Weevil demon Has gold-dusted skin, and bird like eyes. The are a kind of trickster demon, and love to make deals; they twist the deals to their advantage( Think Rumpelstiltskin ). Many like to feed off a people's luck, thus causing the victim to become unlucky. This feeding is not a necessary thing, and they can sustain themselves on regular food, but is done for fun, and accumulating luck to use. They are extremely cunning, greedy, and enjoy partaking in mischief. They horde gold, gems, and other valuables, but what they really like most of all is rare magic items.
Gorgon - They look like beautiful humans, except for their hair which is made of snakes. Looking into the eyes of the hair snakes causes the looker to turn into stone. Gorgons are very vain and prideful, they dislike anyone more attractive then them, and are the mean girls of the underworld. There are no male Gorgons, only female. They are born from eggs. They can morph the bottom half of the body into that of a snakes. They have a a split tongue. Normally they keep their snake hair wrapped up in scarfs, and fancy fabrics.

Including torture and murder. They have the ability to bring forth peoples lost/forgotten memories, and can unblocked magic mind blocks, seals. Not only do Syxtar have the ability to detect what is truth versus lie, they are able to force all races to tell the truth (even what they are not consciously aware of) with a flash of their eyes or a particular hand gesture.
Tellenic - Their eyes glow a red, or orange color. They have feather/down like hair, and sharp claw like finger nails. They are carnivores, and eatting things lie fruit and veggies upsets the stomach. They have the ability to read thoughts and communicate with thought transference. They also are telekinetic, and one of the more polite demon types.
Valdicor - Have the power to create doubt, confusion, and intimidation in their opponents. When using the power of confusion the Valdicor's true form is seen, which resembles a skeleton with skin, when not using thier power they appear human.
Genetics - Demons can mate with any of the races, and produce offspring with them. These offspring are called halflings if one of the parents is not a demon race. Halflings are a mixture of their parents, and their inherited demonic powers are weak at best. When two demons have a baby together, that child with only take after one parent. So if a vampire woman and a Weevil man have a child, that child would be ether a vampire or a Weevil demon, not both, not a mix of the two. Some Demon species are more dominate then others.

OP
Name Of Religion: Qutreli (Qwa-Trel-ee)
Followers are Called: Qutrelian, or Qutrelist.
Creation: The creation of the world. Before time there was no sky nor earth, only an empty void. One day, a gap formed in the void, as Li the divine creator awoke for the first time. All that was lighter than the gap headed upwards and formed the sky. All that was heavier than the gap fell down to become the earth. Li was so overcome by the beauty of the black sky and dark earth the Li cried tears of joy. Li's tears fell to the earth, creating the oceans, and seas. The God Ne and Goddess Ma were born from Li's last two tear drops, as they fell into the great ocean. Ne and Ma joined Li in Bashae, and Li welcomed them to life. Li created gifts for his new children. Li made the moon For Ne, and the sun for Ma. Later Ne and Ma bore two children together, the Goddess Ku, and the God Ko. For the celebration of their birth Li put the stars into the sky. Li created all the fish in the seas, and birds in the skies for Ku to love and care for. And then Li spun the earth like a top for Ko, and night and day were created, and thus time started.
Many Eons past, and the earth became overrun with animals, as death had yet to be created. Ne, Ma, and Ko pleaded with Li to take away some of the animals from their beloved earth, as it had become cramped and chaotic. Ku objected, as she love every animal as her own child. But Li agreed, and so Li created death by taking away the animals immortality. And the cycle of life on earth began. Ku was distraught, as every day more of her animal children died. Li tried to explain to Ku that the after an animal dies their lifeforce only exits their mortal body, but is still wondering the earth. Li had hoped this knowledge would make Ku happy, but it only made her more sad. She cried and begged Li to bring them back to life, as she could not see, hear, or touch her animal children when they had become lifeforces, all she wanted was for Li to give them back immortality. Li told Ku that once something is created it can not be unmade. And so death would always be apart of earth. But with all of Ku's tears and pleading, Li decided to bring the wondering lifeforces up into Bashae, and give them bodies. Ku was so happy to have her children brought live with her in Bashae, she pledged to never ask for anything from Li again. Li had thus created the first souls.
Thousands of years past, and every time a animal was born on earth a new soul appeared. And every time an animal died on earth, their soul would ascend to Bashae to live among the Gods, and Li. In a short time these animal souls had come to overrun Bashae, and so Li created reincarnation. Li sent all the souls in Bashae, one by one back to earth to be reborn. Thus there was no more new souls begin created. At this point in time all souls were born with all their memories from their pasts intact. Tigers with a rabbit soul, Birds with the soul of a whale, and mice with the souls of bears, made life on earth incredibly chaotic. So Li had to make it so that every time a soul was reborn they would forget their past life and selves.
The creation of people. One day Ma sculpted two statues out of clay she gathered from the earth. She had made one look like her son Ko, and the other her daughter Ku. Ma painted the statues and gave them jewels for eyes. Ku and Ko were overjoyed when Ma presented the statues to them, and Ne draped cloth woven from the stars upon them. Ko and Ku also wished to add to Ma's beautiful statues. Ko dusted them in a shimmery powder he had made from all the things he loved on earth. And Ku took one of her beloved souls, split it in two and placed half in one, and half in the other. The statues came to life, and Li named them Yara and Yoon. They looked and sounded like the gods, but they had a shared soul of an earthly being, and were not immortal.
So a short time later, Li decided that it was best for Yara and Yoon to live their lives on earth. The day came for the Gods to all say goodbye to their most beloved creations of all, and as parting gifts each God blessed Yara and Yoon. Ma blessed them both with creativity, and gave Yara the gift of Prophecy, and Yoon the knowledge of fire. Ne blessed them with wisdom, and gave them tools. Ko blessed them with prosperity, and strength. Ku blessed them both with the knowledge of everything on earth, from the plants and animal, to the weather, and seasons. Ku also secretly blessed them with the gift of fertility, and ability to create a family. Li brought Yara and Yoon down to earth, and explained to them all the ways they could still contact the gods in Bashae. Through prayer and rituals. Li formed a small home for them made from stone, and he promised them divine protection and happiness on earth as long as they never broke the rules he laid out for them. Do not kill, do not lie, do not steal, do not harm, keep the gods in your thoughts, and do not lay with other souls. Li went on to explain everything that is the Qutreli religion, or true way of life. Li went back to Bashae after binding Yara and Yoon together in marriage.
Afterlife: They believe that after they die, their soul goes on to live with the gods in the sky Kingdom aka Bashae. That is, unless the Li decided they are not complete. Then instead their soul is reborn. Most say that someone has to go through life 10 dozen times before they are accepted by the gods, and allowed into Bashae.

Babies & Birth: To notify the neighbors of a birth of a child, a woolen strip was hung over the front door. If dyed red this indicates a female baby. Dyed yellow this indicates a boy had been born. Dyed black if the baby was stillborn or died shortly after birth. If the strip is tied in a bow this indicates the mother had died.
Marriage: Girls are expected to marry very soon after they get their first period. Thus girls typically get married in their early teens, and often to a much older man. Marriage is normally arranged from a very early age. Though the girl does not know or meet her husband until the wedding day, after her father and betrothed agree to the dowry. Boys do not typically marry until they are in there 30s, as a man has to establish himself within the Finiarel community, and serve five years as a Lorage before being offered marriage bids.
Wedding: Weddings last three days.
-First Day- It is extremely important that the Bride is a virgin, so the mother of the groom is given the task of confirming if the bride-to-be's virginity is intact. In cases when the grooms mother is not alive, then his aunt, grandmother, or a married sister is given the task. Just after dawn the groom, and brides father sacrifice a cow together. They drain the blood into a large pot, and also toss in the organs. The dead cow is then butchered, and the meat is gifted to the brides family. The cowhide is sent to a tanner to be made into a rug. It is the bride's female relatives that have the job of making the wedding stew. Wedding stew is made with the organs and blood of the sacrificed cow, along with chili peppers, garlic, lentils, onions, and coconut milk. The stew is made in a huge pot, and cooks all day, and all of the second day so it can be served hot at the wedding feast on the third day. Once her virginity status is confirmed the bride spends the day alone in a locked room where she is expected to reflect and pray as she grinds up the cow bones into a fine powder. She also is not to eat or drink anything until the wedding feast on the third day.
-Second Day- A Groom spends the day bathing in the hot springs with male relatives and friends. They drink large amounts of wine, and get very drunk. The Bride is allowed out of the locked room. Most of her day is spent making bowls out of clay mixed with the bone powder. But much of the time is spent among her female family members singing and telling stories. Before bed her mother cuts the bride's hair until its only an inch or two long. This is the first and last hair cut a Finiarel woman will ever receive in her life. (Unless her son dies in battle. Then it's copped off to chin length.)
-Third Day- This is the day the ceremony and wedding take place, and is also the first time the bride has ever seen/met the groom. The bride is washed in a warm bath and rubbed down with sunflower oil by her female relatives. A blue wool dress is worn, and a crown of herbs is placed atop her head over a white veil. The Bride carries a jorum of warm milk and fragrant oil down an aisle to where the groom sits. She must not spill any of it, as that would bring hardship, and unluckiness to the marriage. She bows her head to him, and he kisses her forehead. Then she kneels down in front of him, and places the jorum at his feet. He puts his feet in, and she washes them. After washing and drying his feet, he stands up gives her his hand to help her up from the floor. They stand side by side and recited the marriage vow. Then the presiding deacon marks the bride and grooms foreheads with a red dot of paint, blessing them as official man and wife. With the ceremony complete it is time for the wedding feast.
Religious Leaders:
Lorage - A man between the ages of 15-25, who is serving as a soldier of Manji. (similar to a paladin or crusader) Men must serve as a Lorage for a minimum of five years before they can marry.
Hebe - A female priestess that works in the temple and function as dancer, and prostitute servicing male devotees in the temple. They also operate as a spiritual guidance counselor, and matchmakers. Lots of girls who are the youngest of many sisters, typically chose to enter the temple to become a Hebe, as they have hardly any dowry to gain a husband with. Hebes also have more freedom and rights within the religion. Any children born to a Hebe are sent to live with her relatives, or they are adopted by other Finiarel families. Children of Hebes are seen a blessed and luck bringers.
Acolyte - A male priest that works in the temple

Elder -
Manji Vessel - A Hebe or Acolyte can volunteer to become the Manji Vessel. Basically someone from the group of hopefuls is selected by the Elders to be the Manji Vessel after the death of the current one. There is only one Manji Vessel alive at a time. Once chosen they surrendered their name, position, and identity upon becoming the new Manji Vessel. During the ritual their tongue is cut out, and a concoction of oleander, datura, belladonna, Opium, and Psilocybe is poured down their throat, resulting in seizures, psychosis, brain damage, tetanus, hallucinations, paranoia, delirium, and mania. Their face is never seen again, as they wear a mask or veil at all times. Once the ritual is complete the Manji Vessel is enshrined in the high temple. The Manji Vessel is thought to be the oracle, and earthly embodiment of Manji contained within a body. It is considered the highest honor to be chosen to be the Manji Vessel. No one but the elders know what happens during the secret ritual. The Manji Vessel's psychotic ramblings, and fits are a daily occurrence and the Elders translate the incomprehensible babbling into prophecy and knowledge.

Singer Magic is typically genetic, especially if both parents are singers. If one parent is a singer then its a 70% chance that their child will be one too. If their is a singer within the past two generations (grandparent, or great grandparent) then there is a 35-50% chance. Though any farther down the family tree it is rather unlikely, maybe a 2% chance.
Animal-Singer - They have the ability to communicate with animals, and understand them. They can influence an animals behavior. They have the ability to enter the mind of an animal and control its actions. There magic does not work on dragons or unicorns.
People-Singer - The rarest of the Singer abilities. People-Singers use their voices to persuade others rather easily. They have the ability to force others to obey their spoken commands, and can control minds by using the sound of their voice. They are naturally charismatic and influential. They can change the emotions of others around them, and people are naturally drawn to them. Many People-singers have empathy ability to feel the emotions others. The can speak/read/write all languages. (Their has only been 5 documented cases of people-singers in the last 150 years. It is very rare.)
Fire-Singer - Ability to create and manipulate fire/heat to ones will, and some can even direct lightning. A majority of Fire-singers are Dragoth people.
Dream-Singer - They have the power to enter another person's dream, but they cannot control the dream, though they can insert ideas, and false memories into a persons subconscious while they sleep. Precognitive dreaming is another thing they can do, this is the ability to see the past, and present through dreaming. They can create Illusions by manipulating how other people perceive reality even when they are awake, but this can backfire as it causes extreme stress and fatigue to the Dream-singer. By touching an object or person they can see the history of it, this ability takes focus, and if its a person, they have to be willing. They also can put people to sleep, and cause drowsiness by closely blowing into someones face.
Sky-Singer - able to influence the weather. They can modify the temperature of the environment, control all forms of precipitation, humidity and moisture. They can generate lightning. They can also dissipate such weather to form clear skies. There are an extremely gifted few who can incite tornadoes, thunderstorms, blizzards, and hurricanes. Their control of the weather only works locally, and the farthest anyone has been able to extend their magic is one mile from where they stand.
Blood-Singer - Can rapidly heal others by touching them, when they are in pain, or wounded. Can also heal oneself when hurt. The pain taken from healing someone is stored in the singers body, and they are able to transfer that pain into others through touch. Can not cure disease or illness, but they can repair the internal damage the disease causes. Knowledge of anatomy, and the systems of the body are extremely helpful in controlling their magic properly. Through skin to skin contact they can find exactly what ails someone.
Energy-Singer - The ability to generate and propel charges of electricity ranging from minor to fatal voltage. They also have the power to leech physical energy from an object, creature, or other energy source, which they can use for themselves or transfer to another. When using their ability, ones hands will glow. During more intense use, their entire body may glow. They can generate a translucent force-field out of energy. The force-field, like an actual solid, can be used as a protective barrier.
Flora-Singer - The power to control plant-life. One can cause plants to grow, and revive withered plants. They can shape and manipulate plants, including wood, vines, plants, grass, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, and flowers. Most Nasmyra druids are plant-singers.

Earth-Singer - They have the ability to manipulate earth and rock in all their various forms, including lava, though solid rock is much easier to manipulate then mud and magma. Sand is practically impossible to manipulate as they must focus on each individual grain of sand.
Stone-Singer - Is a form of communication through a specific stone called Kater Stone. A silent form of speech that will work anywhere where there is Katar stone. All one has to do is to use shared common memories while keeping touch with the stone so the speech flows through the stone to other touching it. If one does not share the common memory they will get the closest like-form that they have of a memory. Stone-Singers also have an affinity for all forms of rock/stone/metals/gems but mainly Katar. Only the native people of mount vardan are stone-singers. The Vardanian people all know by heart the traditional song and stories of Vardan. The songs have meanings and messages to them that aid one when stone-singing, and relaying information.

Lycanthropes are a cursed bloodline from the beginning of time. They are a near-extinct species of individuals who unwillingly transform into large, fearsome and extremely hostile wolfbeasts on the night of the full moon. A person with the Lycanthrope gene, has to kill a human in order to trigger the gene. It does not matter if the kill was accidental or intentional.
If a Lycanthrope causes the death of a human, the cursed gene will be activated. Most people have no idea they are of the Lycanthrope bloodline, and can live their whole life without triggering the transformation.
Lycanthrope's are typically more aggressive and quick to anger then an average person. They also are naturally athletic and strong. On nights of the new moon (no moon) they become weak, and lethargic.
Most people who have triggered the gene and know the truth will purposefully choose to not have children, so they can end the cursed bloodline. Unfortunately people who have no idea, and never trigger their gene tend to go on and have normal lives with children and so on, thus the Lycanthrope bloodline continues on.
Lycanthrope people are not immortal, which means they can be injured or die from any mortal wounds. Aconitum is a plant that inhibits their ability to heal. Silver is poisonous and causes severe pain/burns when touched. Hunters have used them silver arrowheads and swords for centuries when hunting Lycans. As they are mortals they can be killed with any severe blow to their body. However, silver directly to the heart can kill them instantly.
Hunters typically kill Lycanthrope, and the siblings, parents, and children in order to eradicate the bloodlines.
The bloodline started with five human brothers. Cursed by a coven of witches after they raped and murdered three of their daughters. Thus there are five Lycanthrope bloodlines, and each is a tad different then the other.
Levi Bloodline - In beast form eyes glow Red. Predominate personality traits that surface after triggering the gene - Dominating, Manipulative, Sadistic, and Deranged. More prone to evil then the other bloodlines.
Yarjo Bloodline - In beast form eyes glow Yellow. Predominate personality traits that surface after triggering the gene - Compulsive, Oversexed, Rambunctious, and Hyperactive. Physically faster then the other bloodlines. This is the most common and widespread Lycanthrope bloodline.
Cisco Bloodline - In beast form eyes glow Blue. Predominate personality traits that surface after triggering the gene - Wrathful, Temperamental, Dauntless, and Vindictive. Physically stronger then the other bloodlines.
Axel Bloodline - In beast form eyes glow Green. Predominate personality traits that surface after triggering the gene - Egotistical, Greedy, Jealous, and Obsessive. Typically more physically attractive then the other bloodlines.
Nevin Bloodline - In beast form eyes are completely black. Predominate personality traits that surface after triggering the gene - Cautious, Irritable, Cynical, and some form of a superiority complex. More intelligent then the other bloodlines. This is the most least common and practically extinct Lycanthrope bloodline.

Magic Users are not born with innate magic. They draw magical energy from different sources. It takes quite a bit of study and practice to use magic properly. The following are the different types of users, all have a different way of collecting and using magic. Many also have their own rules, ideals, and teachings.
In most cases the excessive overuse of magic can lead to disorientation, nose bleeds, unconsciousness, and if taken to the extreme, death.
Note: These are also official names/definitions of the different forms of magic study and practice. Magic-Born can also learn and practice as these, but Magic-Born do not have to draw energy from other sources as they have their own natural magic to use.

Castor Magic is all based around nature and order. Magical energy is drawn from the earth, and this is used to make spells and such work.
Castor is a term used for both genders. Spellweaver is another less often used term.
Castor magic comes in the form of - Spells, hexes, charms, and curses. Basically magic directed through spoken words.
Castors keep their personal spells in their own Incantus (also called a Grimoire, book of shadows, or spell book). Every Incantus is different, as they vary greatly. Many books are passed down through parent to child, or Mentor to student. They are edited and added to over many generations.
The success of a spell will depend on if it is cast properly, and the castors knowledge of how to use magic energy. Any person, substance, or thing that prevents a castor from giving full attention to their spells can hinder them from effectively pulling off magic. And so can a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc. Whether the threat is real or imagined; the condition or feeling of being afraid could sometimes cause a Castor to involuntarily block magic for a short time.
Most castors learn how to use magic in schools, but personal study is also an option.

Sorcerer is a term used for males, and Sorceress is used for females.
Sorcery magic is drawn from one's own life energy. Every time they use magic is shortens their lifespan. Depending on how difficult, and complex the incantation, or conjure is, results in how much life is taken. It could be only a second, or possibly days. Therefore Sorcerers tend to bind their life force to objects and enchant them, so they don't have to use magic every time. They also can summon demons to do their bidding, but that is typically not a very safe route.
Example: They use magic to enchant a mirror to work as a location device. Then they do not have to use magic when they want to find or locate someone/thing. They can just use the mirror.
Many use animal sacrifice as a proxy, but animal life energy is much less stable and it is rather weak.

Witch is a term used for both genders.
Witches use Ancestral magic. They draw energy from the power of their Ancestors. However, ancestral magic is limited to the area where the witch's ancestors are buried. Without access to the remains, or to the earth in which they're consecrated, witches are powerless. As a result, witches are very committed to their families and their coven.
Witch magic comes in the form of: Tarot card reading, rituals, scrying, palm reading, runes, and potions.
Almost all Witches are apart of a coven (also called a circle). Typically these covens are made up of family members, and relatives. There is also quite a few covens made up of friends, or like-minded witches. Covens are necessary for teaching the next generation, for passing down their knowledge and skills. They also come together for magic gathering ceremonies/rituals, such as celebrating the harvest season. A coven has collective magic and is more powerful then castors.
The head of the coven is usually the eldest, or the one with the strongest magic.
To keep the ancestral magic flowing, a coven must perform a ritual known as the Mortifero Amass. This is where the first born child of every new generation is sacrificed. Within a week after being born, the baby is taken to the ancestral burial ground, and buried alive as the sunsets. Over the grave each member of the coven lets a drop of their own blood fall onto the soil, thus renewing their magic. New members (non blood related persons) can also gain the usage of this magic during this ritual when they drop their blood onto the grave. If a witch does not drop their blood atop the grave before sunrise then she/he can't use ancestral magic anymore, until the next generations sacrifice ritual. If the ritual is not completed, the coven will lose their magic until they sacrifice the baby.
Though Witches are magic-users many people consider them a subcategory of Magic-born, because their magic is tied heavily into family.
