Wyral

Name: Nexhi, dragonchildren Location: eastern Sukhyr The nexhi, commonly known as the dragonchildren, were once a thriving ikayal race when the dragons still roamed the skies. Over time, though, as humans and other ikayal hunted down these majestic beasts, the dragonchildren were afflicted with a disease named the 'dracaln'. It caused the skin to flake and peel, the eyes to lose their sight and, worst of all, the afflicted lost their ability to use magic. All ikayal are reliant upon a connection with runic magic, and so the dracaln wiped the nexhi out nearly completely. However, the ruins of their cities were later populated by humans, and now a bizarre plague is spreading...   Name: Arwifal Location: central Edohar The elder kingdom of Arwifal was the last great ikayal nation. Its capital was named Aralifells, meaning 'stronghold unfallen', and it stood for over seven hundred years. After the utter desolation of the Endwar, ikayal and humans grew mistrustful of each other, turning to war in 284 A.E. With the fledgling countries of Krioris and Soltes pressing upon its borders from south and east, Arwifal's last queen travelled to the lost isle of Gwir, hoping to find a weapon to use against her enemies. She never returned, and so Arailfells was seized and Arwifal destroyed. Now only the embers remain of this stronghold.   Name: Khylu Location: north-western Sukhyr The ancient city of Khiloa Woln was a citadel populated both by ikayal and humans. Its historic significance as the place where unity was most upheld has caused many of the people's descendants to revere the site. The Endwar hit Khiloa Woln hardest; after the war when racial tension began to build, its ruined structures were simply abandoned. The land around, called Khylu by the descendants, is mostly barren earth and exposed stone which was never healed. But strange creatures have come to live among the ruins, even as some speak of rebuilding.
