Miscellaneous Races

## Human Variants

### Asranite

***The legacy of the Asranites is a long and proud one. They trace their ancestry back to Asran the Conqueror, a giant who claimed vast swathes of the Baharadhun from Bachran control. For this reason, the giant-kin and the gold-scales have always feuded. Asranites look like larger humans with predictably golden eyes.***

### Giyanka

***The Giyanka are tall, ebony-skinned folk that wander the arid climates of the Baharadhun. They have long black hair or are entirely bald and have golden eyes.***

### Hurin

***The Hurin are Dagara's rarest human race, hailing from the uppermost reaches of Vundurgard. As a result, they have little contact with the surface-dwellers but are well acquainted with the Malek and some Onar.***

### Shimura

***Shimurans are the prominent race native to their namesake isle of Shimura. They have tan to dark brown skin, yellow or orange eyes, and bright red hair. Known for courage, honor, and bravery, they have made names for themselves as warriors throughout Ran.***

### Tarakalan

***The Tarakalans are a fair-skinned, black-haired race native to the taigas of Tarakal, their namesake region. Blessed in ancient times by Gheran the Wise, they have a natural affinity for magic.***

## Mammals

### Dathian

***Hailing from the northwestern seas and the trackless oceans spanning the gap between Thuriim and central Ran, the Dathians are nomadic people with short, dark fur and a drive for adventure. They spend most of their lives on their open boats and on islands.***

### Hunnu

***The calls of the Hunnu echo across the rocky expanses of southern Erissan, where they live in semi-nomadic kingdoms. With pale skin, short fur, and two pairs of eyes and arms, they make for an alien sight. Their heads are crowned by a bony ridge which is used to generate loud trumpet-like calls for long range communication.***

### Mana

***Keeping to themselves on their isle in the southeast of Erissan, the Mana are sedentary, peaceful people. The odd one will go out adventuring, and when they do, they can't get enough of it. Diminutive, they have short, spiky, brown fur and a head full of quill-like hair.***

### Tustorian

***Tustorians live in the broad expanse of the northwestern plains of Eredin. With short fur and prominent horns, they resemble minotaurs. Their tribes are nomadic and often get into skirmishes and sometimes blood feuds with other tribes.***

### Ursua

***The three subraces of Ursua hail from the wilderness of the Anwr and northern Ran. Fierce and warlike, they live in tribes often delegated by family groups and led by matriarchs. The adult males tend to be loners, wandering the wild lands by themselves.***

### Onar

***Far below the plains of Dagara, deeper still than the kingdoms of the Hurin and Malek, in the lightless chasms in the heart of the earth live the Onar. Their bodies are covered with short, black fur, their ears are large and semi-mobile. When the rare Onar makes the climb into the lowest regions of Malek territory, they are hailed as legends, creatures from beyond the abyss, yet they wage constant wars in the darkness against creatures from the deepest places imaginable, ignored by those in the light of the sun.***

## Reptilians

### Bachran

***The Bachrans are the most populous and oldest race of the Baharadhun, and the civilization from who's religion the desert derives its name. Their scales are as golden as the dunes and their legacy as long and as proud as Emebia's giant kings.***

### Dharzeri

***The Dharzeri hail from the lakes of central Erissan and its rocky coastlines. They resemble more feral Rhodians with smoother scales of blue or green tones. Dorsal spines, long tails, and webbed hands lend themselves to life in and out of the water.***

### Kaftari

***At home in the blazing kingdoms of their island in western Dagara, the Kaftari are fiery in spirit and habitat. With bodies like newts and skin the color of fire or coal, they have an incredible amount of energy and courage for their diminutive size.***

### Rhodian

***Rhodians are a proud, militaristic people hailing from central Ran. Their empire is expansive and their advancement impressive, contrasting their cousins, the Dharzeri and Lizardfolk. Rhodians have gray, tan, or greenish scales and strong builds.***

## Birdfolk

### Falkara

***The Falkara are a proud race of men with the heads, sight, reflexes, and agility of falcons. Their once-mighty empire ruled floating islands east of Ithos, but they have since been stripped of their wings and now reside in the highest peaks of Tyrrh.***

### HuruHuru

***The HuruHuru (which most races shorten to just "Huru") are a fierce, warlike people native to the deserts of Nurim. Their feathers are bright blues, reds, and greens, and they are well-paid mercenaries all across Thuriim.***

## Other Races

### Esterian

***The Esterian empire is one of the largest and most developed on the continent, rising out of seasonal mudflats in the lowlands along the northern coast. Esterians have broad, flat heads and gray-green skin.***

### Greej

***The Greej were created long ago, a race who's purpose was to serve the other races. But the races of humanoids were fickle and cruel, and abused the Greej sorely, prompting the gods to grant them strength and magical potential beyond what one might expect from these small folk. Greej have short legs, large arms, no eyes, ears, or mouth, and are completely covered in gray or brown fur. They usually dwell underground, territorially fending off other races and raiding nearby settlements which they deem unworthy of their prosperity.***

### Gudonim

***Named after the children of Gudon, the Earthshaker, the Gudonim certainly carry the presence of the earth giants of old. They are formidable in size, and are covered in thick, dark brown scales. They inhabit the steep rocky slopes of Tyrrh, and rarely interact with other peoples. They ahve broad, wide heads and even broader shoulders.***

### Ishoa

***At one with the frigid landscapes they call home, Ishoa are a reclusive people with deep blue or pale white skin and short, white, spiky hair. They live in the far north and rarely interact with other societies.***

### Lith

***Remnants of a once-great empire, the story of the Tyrrhan kingdom of the Lith is a familiar one. Miners, greedy men, boring into the earth. They dug too deep. Now, the sight of a Lith is one of myth. The stories say they have skin like stone, and studs of rock like beards. They say their strength was unchallenged, their riches unrivaled. Now their halls of stone lie empty in the hollow caverns of Tyrrh.***

### Malek

***Far below the sweeping savannas of Dagara lie the massive caverns in which the Malek make their home, rarely interacting with other cultures, save the Hurin and the Kaftari on occasion. They have dark gray or black scales, flattish heads, and large ears and noses.***

### Raknar

***Known by other races as the children of the forest, Raknar have tough, bark-like skin and almost luminescent green eyes framed by a crown of antlers. Their communities are very respect-based, and the oldest within the communities are indisputably in charge.***
