Humanity
Description:
Humans are the weakest race and yet of the greatest number and diversity among Trinor with over fifty-seven percent of the population of the world being humans. While physically weaker than Giants and Dwarves, and not nearly as nimble as the Fey or Elves, humans have their own power which make them tend to be a wild card - their high potential. A human can literally be anything they want and enjoy moderate to high success whereas the other races of the world have more specialized intentions. Humans can also adapt to many environments, known to live in both the South and North. Due to their genetic diversity, Humans have no defined racial features.
Racial Attributes
The Fae
Description:
The Fae originally hail from the 'Plane of Nature', however it has been one-thousand years since the gate to their natural home was sealed by unknown sources. Since then, the Fae have mostly lived in the wild places of the world, however there is a small settlement of the Fae within the bounds of the 'civilized world'. The Fae are extremely lithe of body with slanted and arced features. Their hair and eye colour tend to be of earthy hues, and often horns will grow from their head. You can tell a Fae's age roughly by the amount of horns on his crown, as these immortal beings are always young.
Racial Abilities
The Elves
Description:
Until recently, none would imagine inter-breeding between the Fae and Humans, however with the gate that leads to the Planes sealed, some Fae have either re-thought their philosophy on breeding while others have fell in love in human heroes. Whatever the reason, the result is always the birth of an Elf. Elves are a mixture of the Fae's innate ability and the human versatility to create an unusual breed. Some elves serve as soldiers for the Fae while others live a care-free and 'normal' life.
Racial Abilities

Racial Abilities
Dwarves
Description:
The Dwarves of mountain Garaz Marok are the last of the dying race, and live under the reign of the 'Last King' King Enderos Tartanos. Dwarves are a mysterious race which have rarely been seen among the annals of history, though when they do appear it is usually to the aid of the light. They are extremely hardy and highly strong, and are known to be very stubborn, however when their lord speaks they listen, as they hold their lord in the regard of a living god. Dwarves are known to be the finest smiths and are fearless warriors in the face of adversity, though many dwarves shun the way of the forge and prefer other paths..

Magic-Touched (Sparks)
Description:
Magic-touched, often referred to as Sparks, are a humans, that by some trick of magic or the intervention of magical beings, have become part elemental. For the most part, they are just as diverse as humans, but each has a few recognizable features based on which element they are most closely connected to:
Fire: Glowing red, orange, or yellow eyes, pale or ashen skin, bands of fire that appear around their arms/legs when worked up. Higher than average body temperature.
Water: Bright blue, purple, or green eyes, fin-like protrusions on their arms and back. Lower than average body temperature.
Earth: Brown, black or green eyes, tan/dark skin, earthen 'gauntlets' and 'greaves' on their lower arms and legs respectively.
Lightning: Glowing Yellow or blue eyes, brightly colored hair, bolt-shaped markings that produce sparks of electricity when angered. Generally energetic.
Wind: Silver, blue, or purple eyes, pale skin, 'wisps' that trail off their body when moving, constantly followed by a light breeze.
It's said that the original magic-touched were created when humans got 'too close' to an elemental, but they've been around for so long that no one really knows the truth any more, it might have just been the result of a magic experiment gone wrong. Either way, it was long believed that Magic-touched were simply the bearers of some curse, their bodies twisted and deformed by the elemental power that runs through them. As such, they were often looked down upon and discriminated against, the genetic nature of their 'affliction' pushing them and any their descendants to the bottom most rungs of society. Recent advances in the study of magic have lead to more revised opinions on the subject, but old prejudices die hard. The Magic-Touched are currently fairly intermingled with human society, though isolated communities still exist as remnants from darker times. Said communities tend to hold a deep resentment toward humans for the wrongs that were done to them in the past.
Racial Abilities:
Drakonian
Description:
The most definitive physical trait of the Drakonian line is their higher average height (6'2"); their builds are on average more stocky, along with typically slitted eyes, the most common colour being green. Beneath the surface they have an advanced skeletal structure that has been reinforced with a thin layer of dragon scales, this is not noticeable visually. A Drakonian has a higher average body temperature than an average human. This is attributed to their innate fire magic.
Drakonians are a subspecies of humans, thought to have descended from the first Drakonian Nehir Alakkan. Legend dictates that it was Nehir Alakkan, a human boy who became the first Drakonian after offering meat to Ryujin, the primary of the five divine dragons. Since then, centuries of breeding outside of their own people have left the majority of the Drakonians genetically inferior from their pureblood cousins. Purebloods are highly respected and and essentially akin to nobles within Drakonian culture, and are taller in average height (6'4" instead). Drakonians highly revere the five divine dragons and their people tend have an honorable and rural disposition.

Description:
Until recently, none would imagine inter-breeding between the Fae and Humans, however with the gate that leads to the Planes sealed, some Fae have either re-thought their philosophy on breeding while others have fell in love in human heroes.

Racial Abilities
- Racial Skill Elven Physiology: Elves are extremely quick on their feet with a flawless grace, paired with uncanny perception which allow them to react quicker than the eye can see and with keen intellect. The Elf counts as having an Agility Advantage. The elves also age much slower than the humans and the oldest can live to be one-thousand before they die.
- Racial Skill Elven Versatility: Elves are more versatile than the Fae, and though they cannot truly become anything like the Humans, Elves have been known to become great warriors, sorcerors, historians, musicians, and smiths. As such Elves begin with one extra vocational skill point and an extra basic affinity of their choice.

Racial Abilities:
- Racial Skill Inner Spark: Each Magic-Touched is naturally attuned to their specific element, an attachment that allows them to truly excel when using magic of that type. All spells of the Spark's element are treated as being a rank higher in terms of power.
- Racial Skill Branching Genes:No matter how much magic they have infused in their system, or how many people once tried to deny it; Magic-Touched are still mostly human. On a genetic level, the same diversity is still there; every person having their own strengths and weaknesses to contend with. Just like Humans, Magic-Touched gain a single passive advantage to a stat of their choice at creation.

Description:
The most definitive physical trait of the Drakonian line is their higher average height (6'2"); their builds are on average more stocky, along with typically slitted eyes, the most common colour being green. Beneath the surface they have an advanced skeletal structure that has been reinforced with a thin layer of dragon scales, this is not noticeable visually. A Drakonian has a higher average body temperature than an average human. This is attributed to their innate fire magic.
Drakonians are a subspecies of humans, thought to have descended from the first Drakonian Nehir Alakkan. Legend dictates that it was Nehir Alakkan, a human boy who became the first Drakonian after offering meat to Ryujin, the primary of the five divine dragons. Since then, centuries of breeding outside of their own people have left the majority of the Drakonians genetically inferior from their pureblood cousins. Purebloods are highly respected and and essentially akin to nobles within Drakonian culture, and are taller in average height (6'4" instead). Drakonians highly revere the five divine dragons and their people tend have an honorable and rural disposition.
Racial Abilities:
- Racial Skill Dragon Heritage: Drakonians are born naturally gifted with great magic due to their natural draconic heritage, begining with one basic element of choice at creation, which does not take a slot.
- Racial Skill Dragon Aspect: The Drakonians are born with one aspect of their sires - the dragons - whether that be the scales of the dragon (+1 Endurance Advantage), the strength of the dragon (+1 Strength Advantage), or the wings of the dragon (Flight). The Drakonian also gains several cosmetic changes to their appearance, though what these are depend on the will of the player.
