[[Homo Alius]] are a near-human race distinguished by their vibrant eyes, more prominent canine teeth on both the upper and lower jaws and a slightly more muscular build. With keen senses, especially sight and smell, with higher metabolisms and a strong preference for meat-based diets. Deeply social, they form closely knit communities where every member plays a vital role. Though largely atheistic, they hold a deep respect for nature, often personified in myth.

[[Elysians]] are a war-hardened subrace of men, exiled from their shattered homeland of Elysium after surviving plagues, disasters, and demons during the cataclysmic Wirrwarr. Haunted by constant night terrors and battle fatigue, they embrace warfare as a means of mental escape, often living as mercenaries with no hope of lasting peace. Adapted to cold, ash-covered lands, they thrive in frigid climates but weaken in heat. Though magically oversaturated during their escape to Alathra, this gifted them extended lifespans, at the cost of near total magical incompatibility, with most unable to cast without risking madness or death.

Since their discovery by human societies, there’s been some debate as to whether or not the “wood” in “Wood Elves” refers to their complexion or their forested habitat.

[[Veyari]] are rare, shapeshifting offspring of elves, marked at birth by their unusual eyes and the faint scent of wildflowers. Gifted with the innate ability to gradually alter their appearance, including sex, voice, and racial features they are naturally empathetic and easily adapt to any society they enter. Though they live far shorter lives than other elves averaging 250 years, their fluid identities and emotional intuition often make them valued, if misunderstood, members of other cultures. Veyari are born either roughly 1 in every 150 elf births. When two Veyari reproduce, the child is always Veyari. However, due to their scattered and secretive nature, this is exceedingly rare.

<small>'''Height range:''' 1.3 - 1.75 meters</small>

[[Morvren]] are cursed, aquatic descendants of fallen merfolk—gaunt, slate-skinned beings with black, abyssal eyes and barnacle-worn armor. Once rulers of a proud oceanic kingdom, their greed awakened a great calamity: the Black Tide. Those who survived were twisted into something darker—strong and swift in the deep sea, but frail and cracked upon land. Morvren now haunt the ocean’s forgotten ruins, scavengers compelled to reclaim what does not belong to the sea.

Lamia have historically been seen as tricksters, liars, or generally just untrustworthy compared to other subraces, due to their less human appearance. In some cultures, they’re used as quasi-mythological “boogeymen” to frighten children into obedience.

[[Scalebornes]] are towering, reptilian humanoids hailing from the war-scarred Midlands of Erylos, once feared conquerors now scattered and enduring. Standing 3 to 4 meters tall, they possess subtle scale-patterned skin, glowing violet eyes, and clawed limbs built for power. Naturally attuned to fire magic and resistant to heat, they thrive in warmth but suffer greatly in cold, with water and ice magic posing serious threats. Carnivorous and cold-blooded, they rely on heat for vitality and regeneration. Though their empire has fallen, the Scalebornes remain proud, resilient wanderers—shaped not by conquest, but survival.

Once a host shell is picked, they’re unable to de-root themselves from the shell, and are bound to it until death.

[[Hydromyces]] are deep-sea, bioluminescent beings distantly related to Myceloids, adapted to life in the ocean's darkest depths. Dark-skinned for camouflage, they communicate through glowing patterns on their bodies, an art woven into their culture, rituals, and dance. Though physically weaker than most humanoids, their fluid forms and hidden anatomy make them deceptively resilient in combat, and their lightning-fast reflexes give them an edge in defense. With muted hearing and taste, they rely on sight and motion to perceive the world. Semi-nomadic by nature, Hydromyces form tight-knit, asexually reproducing tribes, thriving in underwater caves or near coastal waters when on land. Adaptive they live in harmony with the sea and each other.
