Races and Classes

## Humans

The humans were once enslaved by Nimrod, became liberated by the Faithful Four, who ascended into Heaven after being martyred. The humans then became a great Kingdom, called ancient Valanor. Eventually, the humans divided into three ancient realms and then they reunited except for the lowlanders. Many years after, it became the Sacred Valoryan Empire. Two tribes separated and became two more Kingdoms; The Nordic tribes which migrated north in 2421 E.C to Nordica and the Normandii tribe moved north west towards Britonnia, sailing on their vessels. Each of these tribes were with their imperial counterparts to fight against the hordes of darkness in the year 2266 E.C. The Nordic tribe showed skill in sailing, hunting and fishing. The Britonnians showed skill in heavily armored mounted combat, chivalry and architecture in building great stone structures called castles. The mortal human exiles were sent to the lowlands and the eventual drought that caused the formation of the Mul-Andulas desert due to their treasonous actions against their own. The Romalan Empire fell ultimately in 2368 E.C due to Nero's foolishness and ignorance to awakening an evil beyond the mortal world. This caused the ultimate collapse of the Romalan Empire and the undead to spread across to the once great Lacodonian Isles.

## Celestial High Elves

The High elves are descended from the Valandar, the Celestial angelic beings of Sol Celestium. They are regarded as high elves, who were gifted the island home of Celestor. They were sculpted from meteors and chose to stay amongst mortal beings such as humans and dwarves, who became their friends & allies for life. They are given immortality and eternal youth to easily distinguish that they are not human nor dwarf. It shows that the Celestial Father, Creator of the Universe, cares very much that He'd sent help from above to protect His mortal creations.

## Dwarves

The dwarves are known for their smithing skills and dwelling in the northern mountain region of the continent. Although stout, they are just as brave and never give up without a fight. Dwarves are the best friends of humankind and are kindly improving relations with their elven brethren.

## Orcs, Goblins, Trolls & Ogres

The maladurk orcs still remain a threat and although a group of orcs called the Greyhand clan has left the majority of the Maladurk orc region to seek refuge in the lands of Valarya, orcs are still a threat to all that is good. The Greyhand clan are the only friendly orcs you will ever find in the world of Arcinia. However, within the lands of Zhalgar Maldur, goblins, trolls and ogres not just orcs have been breeding in great numbers. They have aligned themselves with the dark forces of the undead as well as with the evil men of the Emirate of Khazlara, the Serpentians, Vampires and demons.

## The Risen

The undead conjured by necromancers. They aren't just walking skeletons, they are intelligent if their masters allow it. But they are mere pawns in this Game of War.....

## The Serpentian Race

These are a race of hybrids; half serpent, half human, bred by Medusa in the Underworld of the Ancients. They work aggressively to destroy the creations of Arthandiel. They dwell in the forbidden swamps near the southwest of Arcinia. The ancient Kingdom of Valanor have faced them before from the Age of Heroes until the End Times itself as the Sacred Valoryan Empire.

**Genders: Biological males, biological females**

## The Demon Race

A higher authority over the necromancers, they are dark servants to Lucidion. As much as they attempt to change the Plan of Salvation, they will never win. (More to be added in the future)

**Genders: Biological males, biological females**

## The Vampire Race

Once human, they have been cursed with being burnt by the light of the sun. The legends are foretold by the ancient prophets of old that they were once devoted to the Enthroned Father of all Creation but they had been corrupted by the necro-demon gods of doom. It is said that they can be redeemed if the male vampires and female vampires can find a suitable human mate of the opposite sex/gender who will show them unconditional love to break this curse once and for all. The Savior of the World can also redeem them by His Atonement. However, if they blaspheme and/or reject this....they are lost forever.

**Gender: Biological males, biological females**

## The Gnomes

This race dwells underneath the subterranean lands near the north eastern corner of Arcinia itself. They are known for their mischief and causing lots of discourse between the mortal realms. Often times, it is said that they were once friends with the dwarves until the two peoples had a disagreement about contacting non-dwarf and non-gnome kind. Gnomes are not trustworthy and do not trust those outside their territory. Yet because they share the hatred for dwarves, they align themselves with the other forces of darkness. They are more stubborn than your common dwarf.
