Blinding Veil

Nine main races populate Nostrina. These nine races are divided into three categories: Humanoids, Elves, and Exotic Races.   Humanity: Nostrina's oldest and most widespread inhabitants and the common ancestor of all humanoid and elven races. Humanity has reached into all corners of Nostrina, carving out a legacy permanently ingrained into the very earth.   Steachi: Referred to as the "Star Eyed People," the Steachi of Krallum are known for their proficiency in the magical arts. Their appearance is incredibly similar to humans, save for their eyes, which contain arcane patterns that suggest greater power waiting to be discovered.   Drackkis: The Drackiss are a semi-reptilian race of humanoids believing themselves to be related to dragons. Their eyes are like that of a snake, while the rest of their body has patches of scales. The size of these patches is not uniform, with some individuals having only small patches while others have their entire bodies covered in scales. They are known for their speed and agility, producing some of Nostrinia's greatest assassins and rouges.   Unganna: Originating from the subcontinent of Hilt, the Unganna are a strange race of humanoids that cannot die of old age but will shift into mad, writhing creatures. The Fundamental Law that nothing can last forever and must eventually die is an integral part of their beliefs and customs.   Cardinal Elves: The progenitor of Nostrina's elves, these Cardinal elves are the evolutionary link between humans and elves. Their society is one of the oldest on Nostra, dating back to the Arrini empire of the early Ancestral Era.   Sun Elves: Forged in the brutal deserts of Crucible, the Sun Elves have risen to become some of the most renowned fighters in all of Nostrina. Their lifestyle is built on the pillars of constant self-improvement through combat and hardship. Their homeland is a part of their identity, and they will fight to the bitter end for it.   Frost Elves: Far to the north, in the icy land of Enceladus, the Frost Elves have adapted and thrived. These pale, nimble elves are impervious to their homeland's harsh, unending cold. The Cardinal Elves' teachings of sin and shame are despised by the Frost Elves, who take pride in who they are and what they have accomplished.   Roctane: Stelwen is a strange land; it only fits that the elves that call it home are equally as strange. The Roctane have reddish-brown skin and sharp facial features with bones and hair partially made of metal, which gives them greater magical abilities. Their society is one of structure; everyone has a purpose that supports the rest of Stelwen.   Varaki: Originating from Marasstrix, The Varaki are a race of bipedal insects with a knack for innovation and efficiency. Perhaps their greatest accomplishment as a race is their mastery of portal and teleportation magics, allowing them to easily settle realms beyond Nostrinia.
