Races (Ilarion Supplement)
From D&D Wiki
The races presented below are each worth 8-10 RP according to the Paizo’s Advanced Race Guide and are meant to be approximately equal to the core races as written. That said they are also designed to be races free of culture. Below each race is a short list of ethnicities. These have an additional 4-6 points worth of traits that represent their culture. If you wish to model core equivalent races simply use these as Alternate Racial Traits.

Moreover, they call it mother, as they are descended from Earth Elementals. They do not worship the gods; the gods have no time for them and they've no time for the gods.
