The Nasculum - Public (nass-q-lum)
Standing proudly in a city that shines like a beacon in the darkest of times, the Nasculum, sometimes called angel-folk, can evoke both fear and wonder in allies and foes alike. Like most of the other races, they began as a group of humans devoted to a god, Edaxerlan this time, that underwent a ritual transformation and then bred into a true race as time went on. As with the other races, Most Nasculum hail from their King's realm. For the Nasculum, it is the Sanctlumen Empire. Some Nasculum nations do exist as their own sovereign or as a vassal nation to either the Free Peoples, or one of the Crystal Kings' empires. Those few that have turned to evil usually work alone as a hand for hire or at the head of a group or independant nation, since traitor kings would rather just kill them.
