Imperial Elves from Turchaesh also live a secluded life, but on the islands in the Southern Gaemic Ocean. They use the mines for sources of trade. They are the tallest race known to Gael, but rather lanky. Their skin has a gray hue, and their ears are long. Imperial Elves live in villages and have only one city, Minden. They, like the Forest Elves, live off the land.
Majaswraero, or Turk as he is nicknamed, is from Turchaesh. Turk is a Cleric, taught by his mother at a young age because his father is dead. His mother, Stheta, and aunt, Kelara, are also from the islands but have lived in Minzkala for about five years. There, they are members of the King’s Court and assist him in connecting with the outer cities of Gael. Archaos is also an Imperial Elf, but he has been part of a local militia chapter in Maralune, away from his island home.
Skadowan Elves from Vamei are the most elusive elf-population. They live in forests located in the Saola Mountains. Their homes are hard to get to and do not offer much in the way of trade. As a result, this group of Elves rarely interacts with the world of Gael. Most of the Skadowan people are females, with a four to one ratio of girls to boys being born. Their skin is dark gray, and they cover their eyes with a special set of glasses because they have no pupils to direct the amount of light entering. Because of this feature, Skadowan Elves can see perfectly in the depth of night. Skadowans excel in non-combatant areas of war, such as magic and singing.
Jaerra, Valkryiex, and Zarathustria were the three Skadowans called to represent their village. Jaerra is called as an Archer for Rhalas, while Valkryiex, a Bard, and Zarathustria, an Enchantress, are called to Minzkala.
Dwarves from Khala are mountain people who live at steep elevations. They are proficient at making roads, however, and invite trade with their easily accessible trade routes. They are masters at building underground and often have a large network of railways and mountain homes deep inside the mountains in which they live. Dwarves are short and stocky with long hair on their head and face. Even the women are somewhat masculine and do the same laborious work as the men. The Dwarves are prideful by nature and have a strict system of laws to govern them.
Mabashi and Vespa are both called to Minzkala to serve the Ancients. Mabashi is an Archer, Vespa a Spirit Healer.
Humans from Rhalas make up the central government in Maralune. They are hard-working members of society who often farm the land. Taller than most races, their brawny appearance depicts the strength they carry. But Humans are also the race that easily falls to the evils of the world, more drawn by emotional responses in situations than others. They work from a more selfish level than Elves and Dwarves, protecting their name and character to great lengths. Among the Humans, however, there are those who seek justice above all and lead humble lives. These are the ones who gain leadership positions and interact with the other cities of Maralune.
Solecreation and Natasul lead Team One for Rhalas. Solecreation is a Champion and Natasul is his best friend, and healer, a Spirit Healer. The two make a competent duo on the battlefield and can encourage team members to work together successfully. Shelija and Mank are brother and sister, both called to Minzkala. Shelija is a Pyromancer and Mank, a Cleric.
Halflings from Ewiniar are part Human, part Imperial Elf. Their race results from trade interaction between the Humans and the Tokage Islands. Beginning on a northern island, some of the Humans involved with trade, ship masters, built homes and intermarried with the Imperial Elves. When the island was struck by bad weather repeatedly, the Imperial Elves moved to a southern island, Turchaesh, while the families of the ship masters found a new home in Maralune, Ewiniar. They, like many elf races, are more adept in the art of magic.
Ryan and Aurala serve on Team One for Rhalas. Ryan is a Demon Master and Aurala a Pyromancer. Alusia is called to Minzkala as an Enchantress.
Mans from Nebal are dark-skinned and live near the Nebali Desert in Southern Maralune. Most of the people from the city are nomadic, raising sheep and camels. They often wear their hair cut short or even bald, but they keep long facial hair. A little smaller in stature than the Humans from Rhalas, the Nebali Humans are more agile, making them elite in sword skills. They make up almost every warrior class known to Gael, from Illusionists to Champions, Demon Masters to Blade Mavens. The only realm of combat they lack is the nature realm. With the Port of Nebal, these Humans have a very active trade system. The Port is a central location for all merchants in Gael to buy and sell goods and has provided the Humans there with a very lucrative lifestyle.
Wingealtan, an Illusionist, and Alysias, a Blade Maven, are called to Rhalas, where they serve on Team One under the leadership of Solecreation. Fouad, Cenathor and Welkin are summoned to serve Minzkala. Fouad is a Demon Master, Cenathor an Archer and Welkin, a Champion.
