[b][u]The Races of Aerusya[/u][/b]

[u]Angardians[/u]:
Tall nord like humans, resistance to cold weather (does not apply to magically cold items), keen sense of direction, and holds basic knowledge of tracking animals. They make superb warriors, healers and archers. Range in height of 5'6, polytheistic.

[u]Cherods[/u]:
Slender/lean humans that live comfortably in unbearably hot weather, and are rightfully heat resistant, (does not apply to magically hot iems). They are shorter than their counterparts. Range in height of 5'0-5'6. They can find water easily and are very good at merchandizing. They make good warriors, clerics and rogues. They are unsociable, superstious, and monotheistic.

[u]Rakashas[/u]:
A unique people to Aerusya, a cat breed. They are exceptionally agile, and use their claws and fangs to defend themselves (due to their animalistic side, the Rakashas have the ability to communicate with all animals that aren't magical called Beast Tongue). Their fur ranges from stripes, to spotted and vary selectively in colour from pale yellow, golden to burnt umber. One will never find spots and stripes upon a Rakashas at the same time. Rakashas are a very close knit species seeing as how they are constantly tormented by the Cherods. They are very nomadic, and peaceful. They range in height of 5'5-6'7 and make excellent warriors, shamans, rangers, and sorcerers.

[u]Elves[/u]:
Majestic, powerful magic wielding beings that reside in a protected area of the Dark Forest. Agile, quiet, though open minded and highly patient. They get along well with the Rakashas, S'ilthras and prefer their company over the humans. Elves are thin, and have a strange aura about them, some say that it is due solely to their strong connection with magic, being one of the last race to receive a blessing of Edo. The Blessing of Edo was given during the end of the Dawn Age, here Edo(the planet) gave the last of the magic in Aerusya to the Elves and Elrymka, or Tree Ents. Ranging in height from 5'7-6'5 they make very good rangers, druids, battlemages and sorcerors. Many choose the magical warpath than the physical, but it does happen. Their hair colours range in shades of snowy white, silver, charcoal, gold, fire red, and starlight blue (an extremely dark shade of blue, the colour of deep space.) Their eyes are either rich and vibrant like emerald green, sapphire blue, golden yellow, hazel, or jet black. Pale eye colours are more common though, such as lavender, rose pink, sea green, sky blue, or silver. Due to the longevity of the Elves, some living beyond 700 years, they know and speak all tongues of Aerusya which gives them a silver tongue affect.

[u]S'ilthras[/u]:
The S'ilthra species are legendary amongst the other races of Aerusya. Some legends portray them as horrid reptile like beings that feast upon raw flesh, like that of humans. Other legends portray the mysterious reptilian race as mystic beings that are powerful in Dark Magic. What the S'ilthra race is, is uncertain. What is certain is that they reside within the Dark Forest in the Black Swamps. They are tall reptilian like humanoids that range in height from 5'10-7'4. 

They are a long lived race that wield strong minded kin and do not tolerate rude and uncivil behaviour, despite their sometimes barbaric appearance. The S'ilthras make excellent swimmers, and have the ability to breathe underwater for an extended amount of time. They are also immune to poison, and have extremely thick scales, that only their own scales, or the horn of a unicorn or the claws of a dragon could tear through. It is believed that the S'ilthra grow horns and wings with age. It is unclear if they follow any religion.
