The Races of Veshiaem

The Realms of Veshiaem are home to many sentient races. Although the World is still young and there may be more who are hidden away from those who would seek them, these are the kinds of people I have encountered in my many travels.

Humans:

Humans are the most common race among all those in the Realms of Veshiaem. They come in all shapes and sizes, and with a greater variety among them than can be found in most others.

Elves:

Elves are typically tall and slender humanoids with pointed ears, graceful movements, and exceptional agility. They are among the longest lived races, with a life span typically spanning several centuries. Generally speaking they are a magic sensitive race.

Dwarfs:

Dwarfs are the short folk of Veshiaem who normally reside within mountain strongholds or in secluded villages. While they can be short tempered, they are often the peacemakers when conflicts arise. They also yield a high proficiency in various crafts such as metalworking and rune crafting.

Kalidren (The Kadi):

The Kadi are a fascinating race of humanoid beings that possess both feline and canine characteristics, resulting in a distinctive appearance. They tend to thrive in colder climates and are often known for their wanderlust.

Maglvar:

The Maglvar are a unique race of dragon-like humanoids who prefer to reside in hot climates, often choosing to make their homes near active volcanoes. Despite their small stature, standing no more than 5ft tall, they possess incredible agility and resilience. They also tend a deep affinity for dragons, often seeking out their company.

Nakali:

The Nakali are a proud and ancient race of snake-like people who inhabit the world of Veshiaem. Consisting of Lamia, Fang-Kin, and Nagas, they often can be found in warm climates like the jungle. Throughout history, many movements to improve the lives of "beast" races have been led by Nakali Lamian Queens, who have inspired their people to greatness.

Kitsune:

The Kitsune are a unique race of foxlike humanoids blessed with the ability to never age, making them impervious to death from old age. They have a range of appearances, from resembling humans with fox tails and ears, to being a foxlike version of a Kadi. However, because of their immortality in regards to aging, they typically suffer a extremely low birth rate as a whole.

Orcs and Goblins:

The Orcish Tribes of Veshiaem are generally nomadic, with very few Orc Cities existing. Their nomadic lifestyle has led them to develop exceptional survival skills and adaptability, making them formidable opponents in battle. They generally have a deep respect for nature and the land they call home.

Lizardmen:

The Lizardmen are a bipedal reptilian race, covered in scales and standing at an average height of 7 feet. They prefer to live in swamps, where they can easily camouflage and ambush their prey. Their webbed fingers and toes make them excellent swimmers, and their keen senses and sharp claws make them formidable hunters.

Valdesh:

The Valdesh are a race of humanoid beings with a unique ability to breathe underwater, thanks to their gill-like respiratory system. Unlike Humans, however, their skin normally ranges between different shades of green and blue. They are also known throughout the world as skilled explorers and navigators, with a particular affinity for maritime pursuits.
