Vvirniean

“

The knife ears are about as close as you get. But make no mistake. They aren't one at all.

Physical Description

The vvirnieans are a somewhat short race of quasi-elves with long barbed tails and horned heads similar to that of a tiefling. Their skin is mostly chromatic and ranges from cold blues to warmer purples. Green is a rare color and marks a powerful sorcerer in their culture. Their canines are sharp and their eyes are as red as crimson blood.

History

A race of elvish descent, the vvirnieans are a supreme society which the world has feared for generations. Desiring to maintain independence, they refuse to fully integrate into the greater society of the Iron Territories. They are born of a caste of elves who dwelt deep within the mountain ranges of the northwestern area of the continent Paragion. The climate and environment are believed to have contributed greatly to their deviant appearance from that of mainstream elves. They also have deep connections to fiendish magic, with tentative origins, and are naturally talented with the blade.

Society

The vvirnieans live deep underground in their home territories to the north, building their homes within the mountain bodies as their ancestors have for centuries. They live in a magocratic monarchy where the strongest of the mages in society rule over them as demi-gods in status. Males are extremely common compared to females in population composition. To make up for this imbalance, males are taught from birth to accommodate for the fairer sex to ensure a harmonious relationship and stable birth rates. Due to this culture, sexism is much less present than other places.

Vvirniean Names

The names of the vvirnieans are exotic, and sometimes use fiendish naming conventions, but nothing is concrete.

Female: Vi'ila, Al'hiara, Achmu'ud, Mis'tai
