Arsian

A widespread and diverse race that can be found in most demographics and cultures in varying numbers, but most common within the center of Sonenheim and the large metropolis of Ars. Whilst many of the races of Manus ended up within their own sanctuaries throughout Sonenheim, the people who would live on to become the people of Ars favored a broad and diverse lifestyle. Their adaptable and intuitive societies lent themselves well to trade and positive relations, and with it, came alliances and prosperity. Soon enough Ars and it's people became synonymous with a "melting pot culture," taking in all creeds and colors into their ranks, and exploring the intricacies of others through it. Even their capital city Ars is a sprawling metropolis made up of culturally diverse districts.
