#im defo gonna have to post about the mess of a magic system im brewing up too

[witch-alaroy]

I've been trying to work on a ttrpg campaign for a while now and I'm thinking that posting parts of what I have down here might help me. So first up the different races.

All the races are human but due to the godthings their ancestors worshipped they have been marked in some way, like the Tiefling origin in one of the DND setting.

Garoan-the people hailing of garoan are seen as slight and feminine by other races. tho they often display caprine features;such as clove hooves, short horns or tails, oval pupils. or even features of fungi or plants. the more faithtainted of them look like the faun from Spyro while the less so might look like the clemar from metaphor

Nithran- Nithran people tend to have features reminiscent of their mountainous homeland, most often hard and square features. Some individuals have arachnid like features, occasionally born with more eyes or additional limbs, they are seen as ill omen within their culture

Vagrant Merchants- while being from no land in particular the Tengu folk are deeply marked by ancient faith. long ago worshiping a god of freedom and the sky they are often marked with avian features; feathers in place of hair, scaled limbs, some even have wings that are not strong enough to do more than glide.

Cybraum- Averaging in height around 5'4" the folk of Cybraum are squat but sturdy. the influence that marks them is one of the deep and the earth many bearing traits such as: veins of stone or ore along their skin, nails being stone or metal(often iron), weighing more than they should, heterochromia is common among them though most aften as one eye being of flesh and the othe a stone of similar color to their flesh eye. they stone eye doesn't impair their vision unless it becomes cracked, this splits the image and almost always requires extraction of the eye to prevent further damage.

Eaua- A people whom have built an empire within jungles. they are marked by the influence of nature and the hunt. bearing marks upon them such as: feline like eyes(slit pupil), increased number and/or size of canine teeth, pointed ears. an uncommon trait among them is a reduced number of fingers and toes, when this occurs the individual is only born with four fingers and toes. while felid is the most common, traits of any predatory animal are able to manifest

Devilkin- Devilkin are not their own race in this world, instead they are the effects of a person being born near a world scar. Just the act of being born within reach of the influence there is enough to curse them deeply. the most common devilkin in the Garoan country is the Heamblaze(name pending). the trait that marks them is that their blood is highly flammable, igniting near instantly when exposed to air outside of the body. some other traits: horns or other boney protrusions through the skin, a faint burning smell or the smell of fresh blood constantly upon them (can be masked with perfume as some has been specially made for such purpose), missing skin. while being most often gruesome to see the missing skil has no impact on the individuals life (and they do not constantly burn from their blood), the skin may be missing from just some areas like patches by the ribs, entire limbs stopping at a harsh line when it meets the body, or in rare cases the entire body.

A Devilkin may also have traits associated with their parent race

And some traits may be more prominent or exaggerated in some way

the nationalities/races thing is because I'm not sure exactly what to call it really, it's kinda like each country is mostly populated with people that had all been influenced by the same god in the Age of Rule so the traits those gods put into their followers are common in the descendants. tho only one set of traits outside of devilkin are present.

also I guess you could call the Cybraum eye thingy Heteromateria rather that chromia as it is the same color

People Of Glass(needs a name but they are a ways out story wise)

An uncommon sight outside of the desert home to the south-west of Garoan. Long ago their ancestors had worshipped a god of sand and heat and this has left a "clear" mark on them. The most common signs of their faith taint are:pale eye, glossy or glass skin, clear hair, scent of sand. To those unfamiliar with these individuals they may seem like a Braum, tho the tall stature and dark skin help tell them apart.their cities tend to be made of sand-glass and their major exports are glass arts and jars
