simple little humans. they're nothing all that special really. they die quite easily and if a disease doesn't get to them eventually, their age will. they have no special powers but they can prove to be quite helpful in all sorts of situations. they tend to be the fiercest warriors when in battle and are most definitely a good thing to have on your side.

can be killed easily

these highly magical folk are said to have dragons blood running in their veins, the blood being the source of their power. the bloodline of the sorcerers in the new royal family is the longest known and therefor the family wields the highest of power. after completing the proper training with their powers, most tend to focus their attention on one particular area of magic. whether it be healing magic or aggressive offensive magic, they are all useful in their own way. signs of magic will start around the age of 8 and come in little bursts. the older they get, the easier the magic is to control and manipulate. dark magic is heavily frowned upon as it takes both a toll on the body and the mind. over time the use of dark magic will literally consume the user and eventually kill them. yet some still bask in it despite the serious consequences. in many cases, sorcerers have been known to literally explode in their final moments of battle, sacrificing their lives in order to allow a magic burst from within to cover a vast area of land, taking out all enemies in sight. one cannot learn to be a sorcerer. they have to be born one.

can be killed like humans but most find healing before they can perish. those with the darkest of magic can stop their aging but they will find that their life force runs out quickly.

yes, you read right. the race of vampires is present in the realm of illicag. they are blood thirsty, night stalking creatures that crave the sweet nectar known as blood. they will not be able to be out in the sunlight, or else they shall become nothing more than a lump of ashes, kay? they have slightly enhanced strength and speed. while they cannot fly, they can leap great distances with ease. on rare occasions, vampires develop special powers. currently, there is one canon character with a special gift and there will only be four more of these handed out. all powers must be approved by a staff member first. they heal quickly, with non fatal wounds healing within a few minutes. these immortal beings cannot be harmed by any disease or aging.

can be killed by fire, sunlight, stake through the heart, or decapitation

it would be a crime not to have them when we have leeches crawling about. werewolves are humans that have the ability to shift into a wolf. older werewolves [200+] can shift whenever they please while the younger ones can only shift during the full moon. even in there human form they are stronger and quicker than normal humans but when they are shifted, that multiplies by three. they have a quick healing process but it is slightly slower than vampires. they age very slowly but are not immortal. one could easily be over a thousand years old but they would have the body of an elderly person.

can be killed by decapitation, silver, and fatal wounds that fail to heal

quite possibly the most elegant race in the realm, the elven people were the very first beings to inhabit rendoria. they reside in the forests of rendoria, very rarely venturing out into the other territories around them. in the past, they have been involved with wars but only when their own race is threatened. if they are not brought into the war, they will stay out of it. but if someone strikes their land, they will not hesitate to defend their people and whip out the bows. they are said to be the wisest in all the land and many flock to them in order to seek knowledge. they are excellent healers and have a bit of magic that they can use. ancient elves can tap into the power of the nature around them and use it to their advantage. most do not enjoy disturbing nature unless they are in dire need of assistance. like vampires, these beings are immortal. no disease can harm them and they age at an extremely low rate.

can be killed like humans, minus disease and age

This happens when an elf and humans have offspring. Most of the time, both races tend to shun half elves, many seeing them as abominations and outcasts. They are not completely immune to illnesses but their immune system is much stronger than the average human. They are not immortal but they do age slower than humans, the majority of them living to be around 300 before they die though some have been known to live past 400. They can be killed like humans and are capable of very simple healing spells. They can breed with every race except Vampires. (Dead bastards are always left out)

they are not 9 inch little things either. these magical folk are human size, though most males do not reach any taller than 5'4. the females tend to not grow any larger than 5'2. they are quite worthless when it comes to hand to hand combat, as most are not exactly made of muscles. they have always been a very peaceful race, never getting involved in any of the wars that have taken place over the many centuries. yes, the all come with wings. the colors are quite random but the most common ones are blue and pink, even the men sometimes being stuck with the pink ones. when elected as a queen, the fairy chosen will find that their wings will change color to a glorious, sparkling gold. they have magical power though it is limited to certain things. they can heal minor cuts and injuries but they do not have the ability to heal fatal wounds. naturally, they have the gift of charm and many of them are known for their flirtatious ways with the other races to get the things that they want. many are rather fond of playing tricks on each other and items tend to go missing due to them being hidden by these lovely creatures.

Frodo. Sam. Merry & Pippin? Yep. Little halfling folk are now allowed. There's not much to describe as I'm sure y'all know what they are. Small, adorable and they do make excellent little pickpockets due to the fact that their size can make them sneaky little bastards. They are mortal and can die just like any human could. They can breed with every race except for the Vampires.

Nymphs are those lovely nature spirits that you may or may not have heard of. There are water nymphs, land nymphs, and wood nymphs. Each nymph is tied to a specific landmark and they will have minor control over that. Water nymphs may be tied to a stream or a lake while wood nymphs to a tree and land nymphs to a mountain, meadow or hill. They are immortal beings unless the land form they are bound to dies or dries up. They have low to moderate healing magic and can stun people with just a glance and their beauty has been known to blind people on occasion. They cannot breed, as they are born from the earth, created by the gods, and only female. There are different kinds of nymphs and they have to do with what they are connected to.
Dryades- Nymphs that are connected to the forests. Most of the time they are connected to trees but they could be connected to other things in the forest as well
Eleionomai-Nymphs connected to marshes
Lampades- These nymphs are now connected to the Nine Hells. They were once normal nymphs before being corrupted by certain Gods. They now live with those gods in the Nine Hells.
Limnades- Nymphs connected to lakes
Oceanid- Nymphs that are connected to the ocean
Oreades- Nymphs connected to mountains
Pegaiai-Nymphs connected to springs
Potameides- Nymphs connected to rivers or streams
There are other types of nymphs these are just the main types. If you want to be another kind just PM an admin to check

Hybrids are tricky little things. Fairy/Elf hybrids will have a prolonged life but will not be immortal. They will lose their wings and not be able to fly but they will have minimal to moderate healing capabilities. They can die like any human. Fairy/Human(Or Halfing) hybrids will not have wings or be able to fly but they will retain a small amount of healing powers. They are mortal, aging normally and can die like any human. Halfling/Human hybrids will be completely human and just be a little on the short side with slightly pointed ears. Halfling/Elf hybrids will be exactly like the Half Elves, save for the fact that they will be shorter. Sorcerer/Human hybrid will pretty much just be a sorcerer with lower natural magic. They will have to work harder to strengthen their spells and what not. Sorcerer/Elf hybrids will have the typical magic that a sorcerer would have. They would age slowly but they are not immortal. They can die like any human. Sorcerer/Fairy hybrids will retain the magic of a sorcerer but they will not have wings or the ability to fly. They can be killed like any human. halfings are very similar to humans and there for can be changed out with any of the hybrids humans are listed with
NO HALF VAMPIRES OR HALF WEREWOLVES. THEY CAN ONLY BE FULL DUE TO THEIR GENES BEING VERY DOMINANT.

the creatures listed in this section are non playable and simply here for you to use as npc's in your posts and adventures. goblins, orcs, giants, trolls, liches, etc. these monsters are all around rendoria but most tend to stick to the areas that are least populated. many attack in groups in order to better their chances of survival so do be careful when you are traveling, especially in the darkness of the night.
