Arx
-
The mention of vampires and lycans in a previous post and the description of beings with wings, long claws, and water breathing in the last one makes me think this a post-human setting like Arnold K’s Centerra.

I want to play RIGHT NOW OKAY.

aw hell to the fuck yeah.
a contrary question though: are humans still a thing?
they | them

@ten Yep. In that I’m guessing Umbros and Luxen are.

@Roz maybe enough time has passed that the people have invented banjos

@Smile thank you for answering my question!

So not really spoilers to give a demographic breakdown, along with a bit of mechanics. Each starting area has multiple Beginnings, which also break down along different playable species.
Arx: Human caretakers, as far and away the dominant majority, with a small minority among Sleepers (individuals have been in a magical slumber for the past thousand years and awaken with no memory), as well as Misbegotten (magical births with no obvious parents), that can be other species, including elves and Daeva (think aasimar).
Umbros: Overwhelmingly human, including near all of the nobility. Very tiny minority populations of khati and infernals (tiefling equivalents).
Luxen: Humans are the majority, while khati are an extremely significant minority, particularly concentrated in the capital city of Salvation. The Khati beginning is profoundly different than a human witch hunter beginning.
Inferna: Infernals (in two subspecies, Sireni and Cinderi) are the majority, with a large human minority, and a very tiny khati population.
Aythirmok: Nearly all human, tiny amounts of other species.
Ariwn: Large human commoner population, but the rulers and warrior caste are decidedly not.
Only playable elves will be from Arx with no starting knowledge of their culture, or any connection to any that survived outside the Shroud. Might notice I have not mentioned any half-species, and that gets into a much deeper lore topic deserving of its own pace.

gloriously detailed answer. I’m in.

@Apos Might’ve been answered before but I’m a bit slow - are there still going to be roster characters or is this all OCs?
