Races

The four main races of Human, Evendir, Orc, and Pomosvitar are dispersed throughout the world of Aegoso seemingly according to their respective and preferred climates but of coalesced into groups and culture throughout the millenia.

## Evendir

·
**Evendir – Sami/Ugric/Uralic/Mongol/North**
American Indians/Lakota/West-North Slavic/Baltic, tall, green/yellow tinted
brown skin, pagan/Shinto/animistic/taoistic/buddhistic usually or mixed with
humans, ‘The Rite of Spring’ as an inspiration, tall 7 foot average, lives to
90 on average, somewhat frail and clumsy stereotype, wise ancient cultures,
converted into human lands and colonialism takes over but not as much racism
towards these as orcs, populations are large but spread out, some major
settlements (Rise of Nations Lakota Cities), otherwise semi-nomadic, hordes with
tech,

## Human

·
**Human – a raced characterized by their**
greed, Celtic/Latin/Chinese/Indian/Basque/West African(Mali), fair skinned,
lives to 70 on average, typically anarchist libertarians, long history of
unrest and change and the rise and fall of empires a la Herodotus to Yu-Ming

### Yu-Astho-Gartchin Group

These peoples are located primarily on the western side of Didziulis; though the climates vary widely, these peoples are believed to have descended from the ancient Gasthu group who migrated from
Chinese/Mali/Celtic/Scandanavian

## Orc

·
**Japanese/Germanic/African/Jewish/Bantu/South**
Slavic/South American Indians/Turk, 5.5 foot average height, agile through
stocky, emphasis on strength and agility as virtues, usually split tribal

(Pomos) white skinned in southern climates,
Polynesian/Greek/Hellenic/Arabic/Scythian/Mayan, white blond red black eyes,
lives to 100 on average, short 4.5 foot average, known for intelligence and
scientific intrigue and tradition,

## Minor Races

### Ice Giants

**Localized to far north, Mostly Human/Evendir**
Derivation, 8 foot average, usually burly, age 40 lifespan average
populations but usually very dense and house/family oriented, very traditional
in most cases by Earth standards, cannot survive in warmer climates (60 degree
+) but capable of remaining perpetually warm in cooler climates, unified in recent history
and in past times under one large dynasty, but also very polis/city-state-like,
Greek/Inuit/Scandanavian/Celtic/Klingon,

The Ice Giants are descended from humans and are a minor race in Aegoso. These shortlived creatures, with roughly a 40 year lifespan, are only found in harshly cold climates due to their inability to cope with regulating their body temperatures in any other setting. They stand 7'-9' and have a massive, blubbering build, weighing almost half a ton in some above average cases. Their diet is mostly fish but several large animals thrive in the North and comprise a large part of their diet. Some arctic mosses grow in the north and provide important nutrients in an otherwise deprived environment.

They mostly live in the far north and south of the continents and outlying isles but can also be found in high altitude mountains, particularly in a towering, vast mountain range found along the equator. Their most northern village is only a few miles from the North pole, and is sitiuated on the permanent ice shelves that reside there. The last ice age proved very fruitful for them in both their mobility and wealth around the world.

Their people culturally are very 'urban' and are never found alone; their family and their extended tribe-family is their lifeblood and are honor bound to them and anything beyond is enemy for the most part.

In contemporary history, many of these peoples, despite their isolationism, have banded together in regional nations to unite against external threats and powers (in particular, colonizing humans, especially from the Western continent of Didziulus), though these alliances are always unstable and liable to petty squabbles and conflicts.

### Half-Breeds

#### Orc/Human

**African-American/Jewish/Germanic/Muslim**
Refugees, major issue in most dominant societies who colonized and used orc
slaves
