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.
