Riloxid (Re-low-zid)

Human-born Axions and Archons of Armarium, generally of Angelic descent. Like all of the Cosmic Races, their apperance and abilities can vary wildly, but they usually have purely mental abilities, being able to project their voices into peoples minds, as well as being able to temporarliy understand the speech of any creature.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

The Riloxid speak Armar Common, but being related to Celestials, the Riloxid are permitted to speak freely in Celestial, unlike the Mari.

Common Dress code

The Riloxid share the same toga-status system as the Mari, but as celestial descendants, no Riloxid ever needs to wear anything less than a fibrionei, the civil servant level of clothing. Unlike the Mari who dwell in the colder areas of Zioh, most Riloxid can wear the standard togas, without the extra fur linings, due to their celestial heritage providing a level of protection against the cold.

Foods & Cuisine

Most of the harvesting and preparation of the Naecuquiu, a spiny poisonous fish and a staple food of Zioh, is left to the Riloxid, as their celestial constitution lessens the risk of accidental damage during harvest.

Funerary and Memorial customs

After a standard Mari funeral, instead of being buried, all Riloxid bodies are returned to Healing Church, so that the bodies can be used to further medical knowledge.

Common Taboos

As descendents of celstial beings, the Riloxid are held to even higher standards than the Mari.

Common Myths and Legends

Most of the Riloxids worship Hazerial, the Healing Paragon, over the other Celestial Paragons.

Major organizations

Most of the Riloxid are the descendants of angels, and thus dwell in the northern region of Zioh. Many become members of the Healing Church, an organization dedicated to treating all the afflictions of the world. The Riloxid stand above the Mari in the social hierarchy, and on equal terms with the Grucat and the Omqurtic. They often have intense rivalries with the Eistin, debating over which of the Celestial Paragons are worth the most veneration.

Instead of rolling for their Otherwordly Trait and Physical Feature, a Riloxid can choose the following traits:
Allspeech: Once per day, as a standard action, a Riloxid can understand any creature as if under the tongues spell. This effect lasts for 1 minute.
Psychic Speech: A Riloxid's words seem to manifest inside creatures heads instead of heard allowed. This doesn't change the range of which creatures can hear the Riloxid, nor does it remove the requirements of verbal components for spells and effects.
