Vexin

The Vexin make their home in the dark forest of Dalrikon, which lies just to the north of the Slukroth mountains, which form the northern border of the black Orcian kingdom. The forest of Dalrikon is a diseased and foul place, where rotting mushrooms and fungus cover the forest floor, and leafless black trees reach towards the perpetually overcast sky. The Vexin have not built any towns or villages, and they tend to live individually in small homes carved into the trunks of trees. The Vexin do have underground 'meeting halls', scattered throughout the forest, where they sometimes group to discuss important events.

Physically, the Vexins resemble tiny Humans no more than three or four feet in height, with a pair of black leather wings protruding from their backs. They typically have delicate and beautiful features, and their hair is always a flaming red colour, usually cut short to the temples. They're a very chaotic race, some would say evil even, and they delight in playing practical jokes on anyone they come across. These pranks usually leave the victim unscathed, though when they recover they may find that one or two of their belonging has mysteriously vanished. Vexin are incredibly quick, both of mind and body, and they are quite adept at using most forms of magic. However, they aren't very strong, and they their physical stamina suffers considerably from their small stature, and the unhealthy environment of the Dalrikon forest. Vexin have a significant amount of charisma though, and their wisdom is only slightly less than that of Humans.

Even though women and men are treated equally in Vexin society, for some strange reason the female Vexins outnumber the males by a three to one ratio, and only females are usually seen beyond the boundaries of Dalrikon. Female Vexins despise Dryads, and they have many colourful names they use when referring to them, their most favorite being 'those green-skinned sissies'. The Vexin know that the Quilari hate them with a passion, though the reason for this hatred baffles them and they usually turn tail and run at the first sight of anything that remotely resembles a Quilari hunter. Both Shugrak, the black speech, and Common are spoken fluently by the Vexin, though they tend to prefer Common. Surprisingly, religion plays a part of the Vexins lifestyle, and they pay homage to both Seraph and Chantalle daily. Most Vexin are very whimsical and chaotic, and they defiantly lean towards the side of evil, but they are usually not so diabolical as the Drow or the Orcs.
