The People of Alduvor​

Humans
Humans make up a large portion of the population of Alduvor's main continent. They're split into two separate countries that have a lasting feud between each other.
​

• Northland comprises the northwestern area of the continent. The mountainous country is known for metal and stonework, hardy horse breeds, and worship of a single Goddess of Light that dictates everything they do in their lives, from when to plant seeds for harvest or who to marry. People from Northland are known as Northers. They are ruled by King and a High Priestess, and tend to fear and shun outsiders. ​

​

• Denre is the second major human country situated on the southwestern peninsula of the continent, dominated by plains and sandy pine forests. People from Denre are known as Denrians. Unlike their northern neighbors, the Denrians are no strangers to other races and openly trade mostly via seafaring routes. Their political system is comprised of elected officials with a leading Chancellor in the capital city of Orlion. Denre ceded from Northland a few hundred years ago and has prospered ever since, but the bloody war had lasting effects on the relationship between the two countries.​

​

Tekusi
Also known as Moon Elves or by the derogatory term "shadowskin." They inhabit an island nation in the eastern sea. They are slender and on average slightly taller than humans but shorter than the Orsi. Skin tones range from ashen pale to dark grays. They have pointed ears, slanted eyes, and males have horns. Their culture centers around worship of deities of night, darkness, the moon, and the winter solstice is their biggest holiday. They are known for being master seafarers, traders and explorers, and are adept at using stars to navigate the seas.




Kaisi
The fair-skinned, white-haired counterparts of the Tekusi, Kaisi are also known as Snow Elves. They inhabit the same island chain as the Tekusi, but make their home in the northern isles. Unlike the Tekuri, the Kaisi prefer to keep to themselves.



Orsi
Also known as "tusks" (this term is also considered derogatory). The Orsi live in the south central area of the continent, dominated by swamps and lowlands. Various tribes openly trade with Denrians and the Tekusi. They are known for their tall, bulky statures, short pointed ears, greenish skintones, tusks, and a tribal warring way of life.



Aen
Similar to Wood Elves, the Aen make their home in the trees of the Great Birchwood forest.​

The Five Mages
The most powerful and proficient magic users in all the world, the Five Mages all specialize in different artes. There is one mage for each race. If a mage were to die, the power they possess would automatically transfer to a new magus of the same race, chosen seemingly at random. Mages may also transfer their power to an apprentice willingly. Power transfer from one Magus to another has only been done (x times) in the history of the world -- those mages who are not Prime Magus, but have had the previous Magus transfer their power to them are referred to as Lesser (different word for this?) Magus.
