Races

The Humans
The Humans are spread far and wide across both Minnaar and Verloren, they are typically homogenous in appearance, their heights ranging anywhere from 5'0" to 6'6" depending on the person. They tend to vary in weight and muscle mass, that being entirely dependent on their physical strength and diet. Their hair can be any colors of brown, blonde, black, or ginger, though typically follow the coloring of their bloodlines. The eyes are a bit more varying in color, being able to come in wonderful shades of browns, amber, hazel, green, blue, or grey.

All of these physical attributes vary depending on their culture, humans can inhabit the entirety of Omnia, though their bloodlines can usually be traced to one of three cultures. The Farren, Nomani, and Heitha. These three cultures are the baseline of human existence, and have their own detailed cultural pages. It should be understood that the Human cultures do not strictly define your characters ethnic features, as physical appearance and culture are not strictly codependent on one another.

The Morian
The Morian are a race of humanoid aquatic beings birthed from Omnia's ocean depths. They are typically followers of the goddess Shesha, though may stray from this path if they so choose. They can stand anywhere from 5'7" to 6'9", being slender and lithe as to more easily weave through the water. They speak the language of the Mors, which is most effective underwater.

These people are best known for their intensely saturated coloring, which is detailed more on their own personal page. They can breathe on land and underwater, though they need to stay properly hydrated in order to breathe on land. If they spend their life under water Morians have been known to live well into their hundreds. The oldest reportedly being a hundred-and-sixty. On land, however, the oldest Morians have only made it to the eighties.

The Talamh
The Talamh are the masters of the mountains and all that lies beneath them. Known as Dwarves in the common tongue, they are an ancient folk with long histories and vast wealth, claiming to have gifted the art of masonry to the first Human city builders.

Dwarves are short, hardy and hard working, rarely standing much more than 4’ tall but hewing enormous communal caverns broad as towns and tall as hills. Their age, like their sex, is almost impossible to guess at a glance. Dwarves may live to little less than two centuries, but their thick facial hair and wide use of dyes can conceal much. Concealment though is not of purpose to most Dwarves as they are a naturally friendly people and charitable with all that does not glitter.

The Laore
The Laore, the elder folk of the realm, are the tall and timeless leaders of Verendell and Voyagers found along the Mark. Broken up into three categories, the Laore-Hoj, the Laore-Tel, and the Laore-Glas, the Laore are distinct in appearance and nature. Creatures of pride and habit, the Laore are far from humble. The Elves of Omnia are known for their towering heights, the tallest reaching 7'3", and that they seem to never age past the age of thirty-five. The eldest Laore seen today are well into their two-hundredth year, the older ones eventually succumbing to disaster or death by other questionable means. The different sects of Laore all have different traits and visual characteristics.

The Ashavan
The Bird-Like humanoids of Omnia, the Ashavan are by far the most scarce of the species found on both Minnaar and Verloren. These creatures are known for bearing a striking similarity to the common bird, though possess the same mental and physical capabilities of other humanoids. They take on the form of Crows, Owls, or Tropical birds, all possessing their own distinct rules and appearances which are listed more in depth on their own pages.

They typically reside in the more humid jungle regions of Omnia, however the Crow and Owl Ashavan are known to travel more often to larger settlements.

These bird-folk typically have lives ranging from thirty or forty years, laying clutches of up to seven eggs each season. Though shortlived by many standards, they seem to have the most adventure filled lives.
