Fialta (Race)

The Fialta (pronounced / fi ɔl tɒ /) are a heterogeneous group of part demons who inhabit Fialta Space.
== Description ==
The Fialta are mostly human but claim angelic blood from their forefathers, often with some degree of validity: the prototypical Fialta appears as a tall, broad human with stern features, reddish or bronzed skin and silver or golden hair.
== Culture ==
The Fialta are as a whole tend towards the proud and honor-bound, with violence coming naturally into many of their social encounters.
Fialta organize themselves into clans by their relationship to their great demon progenitors; family histories of clan leaders are very carefully kept and preserved, though the demon blood has become so diluted through the generations that practically anyone with detectable demon heritage can claim membership in any of the Fialta clans.
== Origins ==
The Fialta people are the descendants of the legendary conqueror Dres'Fialt, the half-angelic warlord who carved out the First Fialta Imperium from the dying Mage Imperium some five millennia ago. The name "Fialta" comes from Dres'Fialt's claim of being descended from Fialt, an angel of the god Thalran. Though most Fialta prefer to claim descent from warrior-angels of Thalran, it is probable that many are descended from the servants of Dalthad, the Genteel Lord (or even Shantara, the Lady of Guile).
