+ | These are small people, even smaller than the Stone Hands, and otherwise appear entirely like humans. However, they have keen senses, and the ability to move nearly silently even when carrying quite large loads. In the end though, they are best known for their impressive stomachs, able to eat several large meals a day (and quite willing to do so I might add). They are avid farmers and gardeners and run most of the food production of the realm. These people have settled all over and generally right outside the towns of the Valley Men, where their farms can prosper. | ||

+ | While they outwardly seem to be the least fantastic of the fantastic races, they have impressive and fantastic ability to mend. They do this passively, meaning just being in their presence heals and encourages growth. It may be something they secrete, or it might be old magic, so far know one knows. Its only been documented that this does indeed happen. | ||

+ | The Forest Champions are the most fantastic of the fantastic races, and are the only ones that don't breed normally. They have a wide range of appearances, | ||

+ | The peculiar, fantastic breeding method of the Forest Champion is as follows: They swallow a pearl of the forest (a special smooth river stone they must find) and then once they pass it, it is washed clean and given to their mate (or any gender). The mate then sleeps with it against their flesh for one moon, and then it is returned to their mate and that stone is buried by the same river. Nearly a moon later, a pre-adolescent Forest Champion crawls from the earth at that place, their offspring. | ||

===== The Wise Ones ===== | ===== The Wise Ones ===== | ||
+ | To be explicit, the Wise Ones don't exactly live in the realm, they live around it and fly above it. The Wise Ones are a race of large birds that live on galleons of their own construction which sail about the continent that makes up the realm. However, once in the realm these birds often use ancient magic to take on human form, leaving a shroud of feathers which they later reenter and resume their normal form. In human form, the birds look very much like Valley Men except their eyes are all black with double-lids. | ||

+ | The Wise Ones are not a part of the realm in a distinct sense, but they love to meddle in its affairs. They have earned their title as being particularly long lived, so they tend to be quite wise. This doesn' | ||

+ | This race has little problem breeding with any other while in human form, except all Wise Ones take the male form when they use the ancient magic. The female Wise Ones simply become rather feminine men. |
