**Society:** Imperians are catagorized as Tellurians that hail from developed civilizations. They enjoy comfort and riches that come from the imports and exports.

Imperians have developed a blundering ignorance and a superiority complex that makes other races suspicious. Their cities are often developed on bodies of water, where their boats can find ready consumers. Not all Imperian societies are equal- some are under tyranical dominion, or ruled by oppression, fear and xenophobia. Although Imperian society breeds naturally charismatic citizens, they are no stranger to war, and have a long tradition of naval forces and fierce marines. Don't let the charming smile fool you, they are just as deadly with words as they are with an agile sabre or a hefty greatsword.

Because of their flexibility and wide breadth of skills, Imperians can fit any class roll easily.
