Races of the Tattered Lands
Back Rules
THE LAND OF HUMANS
Humans: ..are..well, humans. We all know what a human is ( I would hope). Most of them are peasants, but they can be working for the king, rebels or even soldiers and outlaws. The rebels have managed to free seven cities, but the fight to keep them free is not going well. Many who have lost their homes are forced to flee to the forest for refuge, but that offers little safety, as forests can always be burned down and there are those even in the forest who would betray you...sometimes even the trees themselves.
THE LAND OF FEY

Elves: Elves are ( and always have been) a bit uptight. Probably because they're just so cool and dignified looking without even trying. There are forest elves , moutian elves and  dessert elves . Forest elves are pretty much your typical idea of an elf. Pale skin tones ,  brown , red and blck hair and just about any color eye's. Moutian elves are also pale usually with hair from either light brown to silver and never with brown eye's. Dessert elves are dark tan with just about any hair color and eye color. Each works with exellence in thier own enviorment but would be pretty much screwed if you tossed them into a different one. They do keep in contact with one another through messangers that meet at half way points. They are excellent trackers and survivalists.
Fairies: Faries come in all shapes and colors and origins. The smallest they get is about  2 1'2 inches tall and the tallest they get is about the hight of a barbie doll. They often know more about what's going on in the word than anyone else , being able to hear the gossip from the birds and bugs. - You know there really is a tooth fairy but the other faries think collecting childrens dead teeth is a rather morbid habit and have  firmly decided she's not all there in the head. They try not to interact with her to much.

Dwarves: Dwarves are gruff and rather proud. Miners by nature they live in the mountains - or at least used to. Constant attacks have forved them to move elsewhere and they are miserable indeed. They are rarely ever blond , normally being short and dark haired. They are excellent craftsmen.
THE LAND OF ENCHANTED
Wizards: Men of magical skill, usually wielding a staff of sorts. Do not get confused in assuming that witches and wizards share the same brand of magic - they most certianly do not! Wizards usually cast magic of a more physical nature - causing boulders to explode, making huge waves, tossing one another around, ect.


Witches:
Women of magical skill , sometimes seen wielding a wand - more often seen with a bag of potions. Expert brewers they can give you things from poison to cures to something that'll make you turn green with orange stripes. Whitches abilities lie more in the manipulation of things - Illusions , enchantments , curses.







Seers: Seers are those who can see into what is to be or what once was. It's a dangerous gift, sometimes one see's more than they'd like. Still they are of great use to whomever might seek them. , though they are rare and ( since they don't go around announcing what they are) are difficult to locate. The sight doesn't usually reveal itself till adolesence. The more powerful the seer , the less sanity they posses - the sight puts much strain on thier minds.
THE CONDEMNED
Vampires: Once humans these creaturs of the night must hunt and feed on the blood of the living. Some are very wise , having lived for hundreds of years. Normally dark and melachony they do have a certain allure to them. with incredible regenerative powers and the ability to move with great speed it is a skilled warrior ( or an incredibley lucky fool) who may stand up against one.
Mutated: Experiment on non-humans. They've meen altered beyond recognition , drained of any morality or feeling. They are certianly dangerous being immensivly powerful and quick.
