Races

The races of Darais hail from a multitude of worlds. Very few are native to the lands, but some have resided upon the planet for longer than others. You may ask yourself, how did medieval races across the stars end up on a singular planet? How did *I* end up upon this world? Well, dear scholar, hero or ne'er-do-well, it all begins *with death.* In Dara's plight to secure a great secret from her father, the god of Death: Xavius, she began to pull souls to her world. Souls of people whom met unnatural deaths, or were wrongfully killed. Each and every one of you holds a key skill that she saw necessary for the plights to come. Not all will be fighters, but all will have the will to persevere. So tell us, hero, where do *you* hail from?

Not all of the races below are playable. This is a collection of recognizable sentient, humanoid inhabitants from all of the planets known in Darais's lore. Is something missing? Shoot us a message!

## Darais

There are few races legitimately native to Darais. When Dara created the world, she left little room for life of its own to thrive with her plan of reincarnating souls of the untimely deceased to her planet.

* Celestials: Like Elementals, celestials are found anywhere in the universe and are directly formed by gods.
* Corrupted / Conglomerated Beings: Beings, of any kind, whom have been touched by The Corruptor or The Crawler.
* Dark Elves: Elves whom arrived to Darais and were transformed with eclipsal energies into a gray skinned, stronger, variant of their Elven counterparts.
* Drayavi: (*dray-AH-vee)* A race of vampiric people, who's stories are now seen as legends and myths. *Very* little is known about them...
* Eclipsals: Similar to celestials, but are found nowhere else in the cosmos. These beings are somehow *created.*
* Elementals: Elementals are found throughout the cosmos, but all seen on Darais are native to it.
* Frost Giants: These beings are presumably from another world, as most all souls on Darais are. However, no one has survived an expedition in order to gain knowledge of their peoples.
* Risen: The Risen, as a specific group of undead, are comprised of the necromantically resurrected inhabitants of Darais. Humans are most common, but other races are not unheard of.
* Ancient Humans - Little is known about these beings, but fossil records and other archeological findings prove that there was once a race of human beings on Darais. Perhaps one of the *first* living races to be reincarnated here.

## Ossium

* Lycaon: *(lie-KAY-own)* A beastly race of mammalian humanoids, who rapidly evolve to fit their environments.
* Dwarves: Stout and strong, the dwarves of Ossium dwell within hills and mountains, guarding a precious relic.
* Elves: Encompassing both woods and high cities, Elves are a nimble magically inclined race.
* Isan'i: *(is-AN-ee)* Many years ago outcasts of humans and elves interbred, until a recognizably different race was formed.
* Orcs: Once elves corrupted by their god of death. They follow either *war*, or *the Elements.*
* Ossium / Vorrak Humans: With two main ethnicities upon Ossium, *these* humans inhabit either the high seas, or the chilled norths of the world

## Karador

Karador, like Darais, faced a time period in which races from other planets were transported here. In order to bolster their forces inhabitants were either taken here through the Crimson rift by the Aldari Myra Manadai, or the Violet Rift by Ukval Manadai. The world now largely lies in wreckage, after its failed attempt to save it from the death of the two aforementioned gods.

* Sa'shu: *(sa-SHOO)* Grotesque pig like humanoids. These creatures were completely native to Karador.
* Azrali Humans: *(az-RALL-ee HYOO-man)* At a glance the Azrali are not particularly different from the humans hailing of Ossium externally, at the least. Azrali humans typically have tanner skin and warmer eye colors, having lived on a world of heat and sunshine prior to their portage to Karador and then to Darais.
* Azure Malvar: *(ayz-UUR mal-VAAR)*
* Amazonian Malvar: *(AH-muh-ZONE-ee-AN mal-VAAR)*
* Ug'ha: *(**ug-HAA)*

## Krytor

The homeworld to the mysterious, advanced race of peoples known as the Aldari. The planet, when discovered by the heroes of Karador, was largely vacant. However, remnants and relics of the peoples passed gave clues into who inhabited the realm

* Aldari: (*al-DAR-ee)* A race of extremely advanced, and extremely ancient humanoids who have had a hand in nearly every happening in the cosmos. They somewhat resemble elves. The Aldari are largely wiped out by their own doing...
* Krongor: (*kron-GORE)* Of the few Aldari that remain, most have been converted to a subrace known as the Krongor. Suffused with the essences of Death, these wartime peoples are bound to the Death god Xavius.
* Ogri'llagen: *(oh-GRIH-ya-GEN)* A large, fat race of beings resembling some type of Ogre, with crayon red and crystalline eyes. When the heroes of Karador arrived to Krytor, these were the only inhabitants to be found. Less than 100 exist on the world; their ancestors having been removed by the Aldari to another planet millennia ago...

## Beyond...

The races listed below are from worlds with far too small a substance to list individually, or their presence upon Darais is much too minute to include the world. The races here may be from further off in the cosmos than any other, *or* simply be right under our noses in another dimension entirely.

* Planeborn: A blanket term for races that are suffused with energies so concentrated, that they largely lose their own racials.
	+ Enderborn: A race of tall beings from the Spiritual Realm. They have skin of either pitch black, ashen gray, or marble white. Their eyes range from a variety of colors, most commonly purples, and hardly ever blues.
* Namarians: (*nah-MAR-ee-ANS)* A mysterious category of peoples. Only a handful have ever been recorded to be seen. Many who do claim the title of Namarian are often doubted to have hailed from the planet, as their stories often involve some form of resurrection into a new body. The planet of Namaria is supposedly an incredulously lush planet, with every single biome and land hosting flourishing life. As such the peoples there vary wildly. One thing consistent between the self proclaimed Namarians seen on Darais is an incredible physical and magical strength, as well as either a strong sense of honor or strong personal code.
