Breton (5e Race)

Breton

Elven Blood Running Through Their Veins

Despite having elven blood, they are not half-elves and are considered mostly human with some elven blood. Many Bretons look human and have a similar build, but some may have share some of the sharp features of their elven ancestors and some may even have slightly pointed ears.

History

Bretons are the human descendants of the Aldmeri-Nedic Manmer of the Merethic Era and are now the inhabitants of the province of High Rock. Descendants of the Druids of Galen, their origins can be traced to the 1st Era of Tamriel's history, when the Aldmer intermingled extensively with the Nedic people. This occurred during the First Era when Mer held Men as slaves. Because of this, many masters impregnated their female captives.

Society

Breton culture operates under the feudal system, and their society is agrarian and hierarchical. Many of them make up the magical elite and some of the most powerful magical knights are Bretons. Bretons are known for proficiency in abstract thinking and have a quick and perceptive grasp of spellcraft. They are united in culture and language, but divided politically. Many will also worship elvish deities. The Eight Divines are worshiped widely in mainstream Breton culture, but other traditional deities still persist nonetheless.
