.::HUMANS::.

About

Humans are what make up the vast lands of Tilagiel and most other countries on Archelum. Humans seen as weak minded beings by most other races on the planet, but have proven themselves to be otherwise on several different occasions. Local Born's have many personalities with some a little less inviting that others. Humans tend to be independent of others, but in many places such as Arcadum, they live among other races such as Dwarves and the occasional Elf who decided to get away from the sacred forest.

Physical description
Most humans are commonly seen as frail creatures as they lack no biological self defense like hide skin or bone spikes. Human males general stand anywhere from 5'6" to 6'2" in height, while females seem to stand anywhere from 4'8" to 5'8" in height. Many humans also have different shades of hair colors including: Black, Brown, Blonde, Red, Orange and white/grey. Eye colors commonly seen are Blue, Green, and Brown with Hazel being a rare.

Religion:
Humans are generally able to worship the Gods they choose. In some cultures of human races, though, it is a common thing to worship a god or deity of choice by the towns or cities they hail from.

.::Elves::.

About
Elves are some of the most beautiful beings on the lower plain; Elves have a higher connection to the higher plain than any human and have the abilities to control elemental magic. They are very smart and are very territorial when someone steps into their territory unannounced and uninvited. Anyone who steps in with a harmful intent will be dealt with, thoughs who wander in will be warned to turn back. Elves do not take no for an answer and are very difficult reason with. Among the Elves, some have decided to leave their clans villages in order to explore the world for what it is. Elves that do leave have become part of everyday society and are not as difficult to approach like others.

Description
There are currently two know races of Elves living on Archelum, Wood Elves and Dark Elves. Wood Elves are very sociable people when they want to be, but Dark Elves seem to be very hostile to others and sometimes secretive. Elf males stand at 5'9" when fully grown and can grow as tall as 6'1", Females seem to be the same as human females. Hair colors have been noted as Blonde, Silver, Grey and sometimes Brown. Eye colors seem to range from blue, green and brown. Dark Elves hve also been noted to have though among them with red eyes, but this is not proven.

Religion
Most Dark Elf clans seem to worship the Deity of Khador, the prince of Destruction and Misfortune. It is also known that Dark Elves will attack you if you should put the name of Khador in vein. Wood Elves on the other had seem to worship Deadra, the goddess of Nature and Harvest. There is even a shrine for her followers built somewhere in the Sacred Forest.

About:
Dwarfs are some of the most mysterious people on the lower plain, they too are a proud and noble race. Out of the two races of Dwarf, the Stelmar tend to sometimes live alone in secluded places, but when in groups, they are a force to be reckoned with. Helgarian Dwarfs relate to Humans the most, but require more trust and respect before trying to be friendly. A notable thing about the Dwarfs is their expert skills in crafting, more so in the crafting of weapons and sometimes magical relics. There are curently three known clans of Dwarfs that are known for these crafting skills, one such Clan is the Iron Monger group employeed by Tilaveil.

Description:
Dwarfs are not exactly the tallest of warriors or beings, thus the namesake of their race says alot. Dwarfs generally stand at about 4'5 to 5'2. There have been cases of some Dwarfs making it to 5'4, but that emains as speculation. Male Dwarfs tend to be very hairy sometimes, with large a foliage of beards and goatees. For females it is generally noted that they do not seem to change much in appearance, but that may very well be because of the Dwarfs long lifespan.

Religion:
Dwarfs, like humans, generally choose who they worship. Though there is a suspicion that the Marsh Hunter Clan worships Khador, the Prince of Destruction and Misfortune.
