[@Chickn] Cross-race relationships aren't generally seen as strange, but cross-race breeding is [i]incredibly[/i] difficult (hybrids are actually very rare). Raziel typically grants the humani more protection, as he views them as one of the weaker races as they are not as closely tied to Terra as the other races. Any race can be blessed and become a nephlim, though. Yeah, it's typically nature-based magic. The fae can be both male and female (they're like fairies and elves rolled into one). They can only make strength/protection runes (dwarves can't create elemental runes), unless an elemental assisted in it's creation.
