Ardorian

Recommended Classes: Cleric, Druid, Ranger, Rogue
=== Overview ===
Wise and fierce from centuries of conflict, the Ardorians are a humanoid race whose bodies have acclimated to survive any environment.
The Ardorians bear several striking features, most notably their skin, which has what appears as large fissures or cracks in it. These fissures appear all across their bodies, and some even appear to glow with fiery colors. All Ardorians have either orange or red eyes, and their hair is long, straight, and of similar color to their eyes. Most male Ardorians take great pride in their facial hair. 
Ardorians posses a naturally high body temperature, which allows them to stave off cold weather. 
=== History ===
Native to the Porcelain Isles of south-eastern Kovall, the Ardorians developed in the white sands of the coasts, and the molten crags of the islands volcanoes. Life in the isles was hard, and for many, the easiest path to security was deceit and guile. Over time, however, the Ardorians learned to see through deception with ease, and even up until the current era, Ardorians value brutal honesty above all else. 
For thousands of years the remained isolated, only having sparse contact with the other races of Kovall. At the time the Ardorian peoples were congregated into a loose coalition of tribes, forseeing an outside threat. This threat would come in the form of the both the Dragonborn Alliance and the Platinum Sword Concordat, who sought to bring the Porcelain isles into their respective Empires. Though both empires were able to make some gains in the northern isles, they've since come to an agreement of peace with the Ardorians.
After staving off colonial interests, the Ardorians realized that one day, more threats might come to their people. Upon this realization, hundreds of Ardorians trekked across Kovall, attempting to learn all they could for their homeland. Many of these Ardorians have stayed on the mainland, some starting thriving communities for their people. Since then, Ardorians can be found across Kovall in any nation, filling any occupation.
If you're looking for someone that can see the bigger picture, you're looking for an Ardorian.
