Hey, Friendly Neighborhood Author here, I'd like to talk about the various races we'll meet in this story. Make sure to read the Author's Note. I'll try to keep this Aux Chapter short by saying a very short introduction of each race. So we'll start off with the most basic race: Humans
Humans are, as you guessed, like us. With the highest population, they are the most technologically advanced. At least as far as medieval tech can get, anyways. They are also one of the two races who can have affinities with almost every magic branch. (I'll talk about magic in another chapter) Approximate Lifespan: 100 Years
Next up are the various kinds of Elves, starting with your average everyday Fantasy Elves. This kind of Elf goes by a couple names: Wood Elves, Wild Elves, Forest Elves, or just Elves. Possessing long lifespans and high compatibility with mana, they are capable spell-casters. Wood Elves are also the only race able to learn and use Life Magic. Approximate Lifespan: 50,000 Years
High Elves are the nobility of the Elven races, at least that's what they'd have you believe. This brand of elf is generally very rarely seen outside their home Capital. They posses even longer lifespans than either Elves or Dark Elves, with staggering amounts of mana. High affinities towards the Arcane Branch. Approximate Lifespan: 300,000 Years
Dark Elves, said to be corrupted by dark magics, are known by another name, Drow. Diametrically opposed to both Elves and High Elves, they have grey or black skin, snow white hair, and red or silver eyes. Drow are easily burned by sunlight and prefer the dark over anything else. Their magic affinities lie in the Taboo Magics. Approximate Lifespan: 60,000 Years
Vampires are a distant form of Elf, and are the result of a small gene-pool. This caused them to develop severe anemia, low body temperatures, and deathly pale skin. The way they evolved to deal with the lack of blood was to consume more of it. Vampires only have affinities with Blood Magic. Approximate Lifespan: 100,000 Years (If fed Blood regularly)
After Elves, we have the standard Fantasy Dwarves. They are supreme craftsmen, making the most powerful pieces of equipment known to the land. Sturdy and stout, a dwarf can easily carry what an average human can't. Most Dwarves have an affinity with the Elemental Magics. Approximate Lifespan: 350 Years
Within Ulder live several species of Beast-Folk which include; Wolves, Bears, Cats, and Birds. All of these species have the ability to take on more bestial form. The Cat and Bird Folk have various sub-species which include other similar real-life counterparts. Their affinities lie with Elemental Magic. Approximate Lifespan: 200 Years
Giants are separated into two groups, the aggressive Val'tiir Giants and the benevolent Nas'ver Giants. The Val'tiir are classified as monsters while the Nas'ver are a race. The Nas'ver use magic to compress their large stature in order to trade with and befriend the other races. Magical affinities lie with the Arcane Branch. Approximate Lifespan: 180 Years
Finally, We arrive at the apex of the races: Dragons. These are Western-style Dragons with a twist. They are completely immortal, lifespan-wise, and their scales and bones are almost indestructible. The price they have to pay for such immortality is at certain intervals of age, they must suffer through a tribulation. Not like heavenly lightning, but an intense agony that comes from their very body and soul. If they either pass out or give up, they are destroyed. If they succeed, they increase in strength. They also physically mature all at once instead of steadily like us. Dragons can freely choose what type of magic they practice.
