Noids

The Noids are creatures of a larger size than your average sapient ancestry, grouped together due to their size and civilizations being similar. While the noids are less related to each other than the dragons there is still a certain degree of familiarity in appearance, behavior, and actions.

*"The Noid species is a varied one, elements and magics are common in this family to say the least."* - Hylvun B. Shulsturr

## General Information

### Subspecies

* Giant
* Troll
* Oni

## Classification

All noids stand at least above 13 feet tall, except for the odd crossbred one, and are often covered in tattoos of their native language as their show of pride for their people and while they no longer reside on Xaekla they teach their children many tales of the land from which they originally came. They are all immensely strong with some even having connections to different elements such as the fire giant or storm giant.

## Biology

The biology of a noid is similar to that of a typical human, though they multiple sets of organs. For example they have two sets of lungs, two stomachs, and two hearts due to their size these sets of two allow them ease of life. It is a known fact that the noids have a significantly improved immune system as well as subspecies having better hearing, sight, or smell.

## Harvesting

A topic that most will find unredeemable, because these are sapient and even humanoid creatures, but others will find necessary for their means of casting certain spells. Either way, there are a number of items that be harvested like the eyes which some use for stew, the nails which can be used in potion making, and of course the organs can be used in necromantic spellcasting as easily as any other creatures.

A female noid can be pregnant for about 11-22 months depending on the subspecies and overall health of the woman. Most noid subspecies reach maturity at about 20-40 years of age.

## Species

### Giant

The Giants were the first of the noids ever created, settled upon the realm of Xaekla before they were found to be... incompatible the local ecosystem and a whole realm was created for the giants and, subsequently, the other noids that were later created.

#### Ogiagian

Believed to be the result between the pairing of a giant and a humanoid ancestry. Due to the power of the giants genetics these beings typically have the appearance of larger humans with thicker skin and heftier muscles. They live in tribes along the mountains and hills, typically nomadic with a disdain for the rest of society but with the willing to trade.

### Troll

Beings of larger-than-average size and immense strength, the trolls are seen as savage beings who occasionally are intelligent enough to uphold a conversation though this is far from the truth. Trolls are actually quiet articulated, the most out of all the noids with an eloquent speech pattern and a craving for knowledge they make for great spellcasters, specifically sorcerers due to their elemental connections.
