Imperials

== Overview ==
=== Origin ===
The Imperials are a mixed race, tracing their origin back to the humans and high-elves of western Excaria. When exactly the imperials first appeared is unknown, but it is generally accepted that their origin coincides roughly with the foundation of the Old Empire. Nowadays, the humans and high-elves do not exist any more, having long fused into the Imperials.
While all Imperials share genes from both Humans and High-Elves, imperials express their genes differently. Most Imperials will have slightly pointy ears, will live to roughly 180 years of age, and have some level of dark vision. Some of them might have more pointy or more round ears, more pronounced dark-vision or none at all. While these differences are noted and sometimes people are teased for them, they are still always seen as Imperial.
=== Spread ===
Imperials are by far the most expansive and numerous race on Anu. They are found on every known continent, and one is hard-pressed to find a place the imperials will not be able to reach at some point, given enough time.
=== Culture ===
Since the Stormrift appeared, imperial culture has greatly diversified on Ferra, ⁣⁣ but they still recognizably share a common origin point in the Old Imperial Culture. Central to their world view is the concept of imperial superiority, formulized in “The Standings”.
