Military

500,000 Fighting half-Men   Half-Men grow up to twice the size of a normal man and are hulking with muscle. They stand with a hunched posture so they're always cocked to strike. Their skin is pale, almost translucent and what little hair they do have is course and grey. Their long red tongues used as an intimidation display, sit behind their sharp uneven teeth which are said to grow back until death.

Very poor.

Education

  • A life of constant violence and savagery prepares them for their harsh lives or kills them in the process.

Born cold.
