SU'EYTSU
Humanoids that made their homes in the dense jungles of the world, usually differentiated by their dark skin, light colored hair, and amber eyes. They are in No relation to the dark elves, as they are not elvish in blood. They worship all types of jungle dwelling serpents, but prefer the Viper, as their venom relates quite closely with their lives. They use such venom in their tribal paint, which glows a distinctive neon green, as well as their weapons, and even to spice their food. They are extremely aggressive towards outsiders, and equally to those of their own kind that 'taint the true-blood'. They are said to be born of the Naga King, Sh'Ra'Heth, himself.
ORCS
Earthy skinned brutes that are usually thought to be stupid and brash. However, they are rather wise, and hold an almost African/Native-American mix of culture. They are very spiritual, and usually look to the God of Spirits, Un-Gagk, for guidance, as well as the Goddess of the Earth, (in their language called Unbra, in others, known as Kel'wya.) The rites of passage of their men usually include the wrangling of a Blood Wolf, usually still a pup (though pups usually end up being the size of small horses) to become their war-companion. Females rarely get this honor, but if they do, they are considered the daughters of the Gods. Their appearance usually is black to brown hair, with earthy colored skin, usually greens and browns.
ELVES
There are four types of elves that are recognized, High, Wood, Dark, and Elemental.
High Elves: They are probably the more noble and regal of the elves, and their attitudes certainly show it. Almost Aryan in appearance, they rarely deviate from light skin, blond-light brown hair, and blue-green eyes. Usually those who do deviate, are believed to be half elves, even though they may hold complete and pure High Elven bloodlines. They are very skilled in Magic and Astronomy, though they deviate heavily from Alchemy, believing that Equivalent Exchange is obsolete and unneeded when they can use magic that does not require such boundaries.
Wood Elves: Usually found in the Vales and Grottos of the forest, they pride themselves heavily on being extremely skilled hunters and archers. They don't entirely rely on the usage of magic, but they do study healing spells and alchemy. They usually are darker skinned (light to dark tan) and hold less perfect hair colors.
Dark Elves: Dark skinned elves that usually are personified as necromancers and hellspawn. However, they fight hard to abolish that view upon them, and try to establish themselves as fine alchemist and users of the arcane arts. They also are great archivists and story tellers, and usually are found holding scribe or scholar positions in castles and guilds.
Elemental Elves: They hold heavily the appearance of there elements.
Fire types have fiery colored hair, and their eyes blaze with a never ending red-orange glow. Their skin is made completely of what looks like cooled magma, which even has the glowing cracks sewn throughout their bodies. They are unable to wear clothing, as it burns off of them almost immediately. They are rumored to take refuge in volcanoes and furnaces, and it is rumored that the blacksmith at Helmstrass has one as a companion to help him work.
Water Elves are only found underneath the vast oceans and lakes, and are usually personified as mercreatures. However, if they must venture from their waters, they almost always move with the grace, and visually look as if they are floating through water still. They are incredible healers, and are known as the peace keepers.
Earth Elves resemble orcs in a sense, but without the jutting tusks and brutish personality. They are also known as wood nymphs and satyrs, and are always protecting the forests and nature of Helmstrass. They usually have earthy colored skin, and black or brown hair.
Wind Elves are incredibly unique. They have no hair, but it is replaced with a beautiful plush mane of multicolored feathers. Their eyes usually are rather large, resembling a birds, and they speak in a trilling, song-like language. They can also copy and learn languages by just hearing them, and are usually used as linguists in castles and noble-blood homes.
ANTHROPOMORPHICS
They can vary from any and all types of creatures, though cats, lizards, dragons, dogs, and birds are found to be the more populated of mixtures. They are mixed with a body of a human, and the features of their animal counterpart, and are near worshipped as sons and daughters of the boar-headed god of beasts, Anghragd.
VAMPIRES and the UNDEAD
The scourge of the planes of life and death, and considered horrifying enough to see, let alone be. They are said to be the bastard children of the sickening, incestual love of Hrash, the goddess of the Scourge and Undeath, a horrifying beast-woman with the ability to turn into a harpy, and her brother Helgrind, the god of Death itself.
HUMANS
There are many different clans and breeds of humans in the world of Aedas. The main groups are Sindh, Nords, Plainsmen, and Highbloods.
Sindh are desert dwellers and widely know for their uncanny abilities as assassins. Some of the best dancers come from this region. They are recognized by their dark tanned skin, and black hair. Their eyes can be a hazy gray, blue, or green, but are usually brown or black.
Nords dwell in the mountain regions of the land, and are known by their ability to withstand cold weather. They are incredible blacksmiths and even better fighters, and are usually seen as gruff, barbaric people that hunger for war. They follow the God Bredja, known as the god of Steel, as well as Romulegus, a two headed wolf god, that represents both the Sun and the Moon.
Plainsmen are nomads, and usually very poor. They are herders, and hunters and gatherers, and rarely stay in one place for long. However, they are very polite and well mannered, despite their disposition, and are more than willing to provide for guests and those in need, even though they are needy themselves.
Highbloods are the purest of humans, said to have been created by the gods themselves. The kings of the Human-occupied lands usually scrounge out or falsify documents to attempt to be closely related or kin to these individuals. There are only five known humans to exist now, with remnants of this blood still flowing within them.
