# Races of Runetalras
detailed here is a number of subraces which can be found throughout the known world. 
## Prismatic Dragonborn

The prismatic dragonborn are an ethnicity which is constantly increasing its relative percentage of the population of the Infernal-Draconic Ascendancy, as they are the result of multiple generations of dragonborn of different colouration breeding with one another. The prismatics view themselves as the future of the dragonborn races, while the true dragonborn view them as the result of deviancy. The nature of the prismatics is somewhat of a taboo subject, and while they do not face overt racism, true dragonborn mock the prismatics for their colouration, speak in hushed tones when one enters a room, and true dragonborn employers tend to favour their true counterparts.

#### Physical Description

If one were colour bind it would be practically impossible for one to see the difference between the prismatic and true dragonborn; as they stand on average around 6'2" – 6'8" (1.88–2.03 meters), and weigh between 220–320 lbs (100–145 kg). It is only the scale colouration that truly sets them apart. The scale colouration of the prismatics have perhaps a limitless number of combinations, with some being a mixture of metallic tones, others chromatic tones, other muted reds, crimsons, scarlets, and browns, ultimately there continues to be new colourations hatched each day. Curiously, it seems that the prismatic are less prone to the genetic mutation that leads to dragonborn growing wings.

#### Homelands

The prismatic dragonborn are predominantly found within the dragonborn-tiefling majority kingdom, the Infernal-Draconic Ascendancy, where they face mild racism. As a result of this discrimination the prismatic increasingly make their homes outside of the Ascendancy, primarily within the Kasari Dominion and the Free States; though they can also be found within the Velgan Empire, Thaxnoria, Yhess Kingdoms, and Atarsid Isles.

***Ability Score Increase.***  Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Age.*** Young dragonborn grow quickly. They walk hours after hatching, attain the size and Development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3, and reach Adulthood by 15. They live to be around 80.

***Alignment.*** Dragonborn tend to extremes, making a conscious choice for one side or the other in the cosmic war between good and evil. Most dragonborn are good, but those who side with evil can be terrible villains.

***Size.*** Dragonborn are taller and heavier than Humans, standing well over 6 feet tall and averaging almost 250 pounds. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

***Prismatic Breath Weapon***
You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. You  determine the which breath weapon you use with the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation being shown in the Prismatic Breath Weapon Table. Additionally, you can change which type of breath weapon you are able to use to another detailed in the Prismatic Breath Weapon Table as a bonus action.

When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by you. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.

After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or Long Rest.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common, Draconic, and one additional language of your choice. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest Languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.

## City Dwarf

The city dwarves are considered, by the other mortal races, as the most civilised, refined, and oppressed of the dwarven ethnicities. The city dwarves are primarily found within the human kingdoms functioning as merchants, bankers, crafters, and physical labourers. Within the human kingdoms the city dwarves face varying degrees of discimination and racism, but rarely worse that the elves, as the dwarves, and more so the city dwarves, adapt and conform to human society. The city dwarves are considered the most sociable and charismatic of the dwarven ethnicities.

\pagebreakNum

#### Physical Description

City dwarves are still stout and tough by the standards of other races, but less so than many of their dwarven cousins.the city dwarves are in average 4" (1.2 meters) tall, and typically weigh the same as a fully grown human. City dwarves have tended to take on skin tones similar to those of the human within which cities they dwell, a combination of interbreeding and their skin's melanin adapting over generations; as a result, they have dark tones in the Yhess Kingdoms, and pale tones in the Kasari Dominion and Velgan Empire.

The sea dwarves have also renounced their lawful was, instead valuing strength, cunning, and ability. The sea dwarves are both raiders and hard workers, with even the greatest of their raiders holding professions outside of raiding as to contribute to their clans when at home.

#### Physical Description

The sea dwarves have the darkest skin tones among the dwarven ethnicities, ranging from copper to a dark ebony. The hair tones of sea dwarves are similarly dark, with both males and females capable of growing facial hair. While the sea dwarves are strong and stout, they also possess a dexterous nature uncommon to most other dwarven ethnicities.

#### Homeland

The sea dwarves have traveled far and wide, and are most commonly seen within harbours throughout the known world from the Atarsid Isles in the north to the icy lands of the palemen in the south.

#### Physical Description

Blade elves appear much like high elves; typically fair-skinned, though they have been known to range from darker tones, to ebony, to copper, and even a faint violet. Their hair equally ranges in colouration, with black, silver, and blonde being the most common, while brunette, and copper hues not being uncommon. Blade elves, unlike high elves, wear their hair short, or wear their hair tied back. Blade elves are, typically, the largest and heaviest of the elven ethnicities; 5'7" – 6'2" (1.70 –1.88 meters) and 150 –190lbs. (68 – 86 kg) on average. Blade elves are also the most muscular of the elves, while most retain an athletic appearance, they are capable of a muscular form rivaling even the most muscular of humans.

#### Homelands

The Blade elves almost exclusively dwell within the Kingdom of Legarvren, a result of the recent nature of the ideological conflict between the blade and high elves. While not often found with high elven kingdoms, blade elves are not uncommon features with the Kingdom of Elnuria, and Caedvin.

\pagebreakNum

## City Elf

City elves are the most numinous of the elven ethnicities, and the smallest of them. Most city elves live within human cities, in ghettos walled off and found in the poorest, more crime-ridden parts of the city, while elves in villages are often homeless or live in shacks. The city elves are typically impoverished and survive by taking menial and unrewarding tasks or even begging. In the most desperate cases, they might  enter a life of crime, or sell themselves into slavery or indentured servitude to support their families.

Though overall treatment varies kingdom to kingdom, city elves are universally second-class citizens. Elves are, by law or prejudice, unable to join most organizations or hold decent jobs, and the law often turns a blind eye to their abuses. The extensive abuse has resulted in city elves falling into one of two categories; the first attempting to hold onto whatever elven culture they can and resisting human efforts to absorb them into their culture, the second conforming to human culture as to best fit in and minimise the abuse and violence.

#### Physical Description

City elves are, typically,  the smallest of all elven ethnicities, usually as a result of endemic malnutrition and cramped living space; city elves which live in the Kasari Dominion, a number of Free States, and the kingdoms of the elder races do however, grow equal in size to wood elves. City elves have similar skin tones to humans, ranging from pale to dark ebony, though they are capable of possessing a wider range of hair and eye colours ranging through human colourations through to metallic tones.

#### Homelands

The city elves possess no great, or even lesser, kingdoms of their own, instead the vast majority have made their homes within the human kingdoms. While the majority are found within the human kingdoms, they can also be found within the kingdoms of the elder races, where some seek to regain their heritage while others see it as the best hope of equality.

***Makeshift Weapon Training.*** You are proficient with the battleaxe, light crossbow, flail, shortsword, and hand crossbow.

***Escape Artist.*** Your climbing speed is equal to your movement speed

***Protective Community.*** you have proficient with light and medium armour.

## Wandering Elf

Like most of the elven ethnicities, the wandering elves are defined by the shared elven past. The Fall of the Elventine hit perhaps the wandering elves the worst, and it is this shared trauma that drives every aspect of their culture. The wandering elves search for any aspect of the old Elventine and it's far flung colonies. The wandering elves are very much aloof from the rest of Runetalras, refusing to permanently settle until the mists of the past have been dispersed.

The wandering elves travel Runetalras in clans ranging in five between five thousand at the largest and slightly below one hundred elves. The wandering elves, generally, choose not to live within permanent settlements and instead travel in great wagons, known as aarthels, pulled by evails, wild haired, large built horse like creatures, with antlers. The clans themselves are formed of multiple family units and lead by a Restorer, with Chroniclers, Sentinels, and Saevherne playing important roles in the clans defence and education.

The goal and purpose of the wandering elves is The rediscovery, restoration, and reclamation of elves history and culture; it is this propose that has driven them to their nomadic lifestyle. Their nomadic lifestyle leads to conflict, as when the wandering elves enter a region they exert and drain on the region's food and water supply; additional, as many human settlements are built upon those of the elves, the wandering elves have a tendency to damage human settlements in their search for elven artifacts. Both factors have lead to the clans of wandering elves being considered by the kingdoms of both humans and the elder races as little more than pests.

#### Physical Description

Wandering elves are lean even by elven standards, but still retain the typical even athletic build. They towards bronze, dusky, and darker skin tones, a result of generation spent in the wilds of the world, however lighter skin tones are not uncommon. Similarly the eyes  and hair of wandering elves tend towards darker tones, but are also capable of lighter colours.

#### Homelands

The wandering elves have forsaken all homelands until they are capable of restoring their history, religion, and culture. Currently the majority of wandering elves are found within Undead, Atarsid Isles, and Wild Isles, although clans of various sizes can be found throughout the known world. The only permanent settlement exist with the Kingdom of Legarvren

## Wild elf

Wild elves are a relatively rare ethnicity of the elven peoples, being, boardly, localised to the Wild Isles. The wild elves are an extremely insular people who are loathed to interact with outsiders when it is unnecessary. The wild elves are a stealthy and semi nomadic people, who travel often to avoid unnecessary attention. They are considered, by the other elven ethnicities, feral, uncivilised, and above all wild.

They prefer to wear as little clothing as possible and choose instead to adorn themselves with other decorations like tattoos, feathers or body paint. They can make and wear complicated and intricate beadwork. Males are usually larger than females, sometimes by as much as five inches or twenty pounds, but wild elves differ little in size from other elves.

Wild elves, like other elves, are nimble and agile in body, but they are commonly thought of as less intelligent than their elven brethren, due in part to their aversion to civilization

#### Homelands

#### Physical description
 
Dryads tend to have a slender and small build, more similar to elves than humans. In most cases it is very difficult to distinguish between a naturally born dryads and naturalised dryads known as hamadryads.
 
The skin tones of dryads are typically olive, but can range from green, to chestnut, to marron. Atypically a dryads may possess the same skin tones as humans, and it is also not uncommon for hamadryads to have human-like skin tones. It is highly common for dryads to paint their skin with thick camouflage paint, and wear leaves as camouflage, if they wear clothes at all as most dryads prefer to wear no clothes at all.
 
It is not uncommon for hamadryads and the rare natural dryad to be mistaken for a human, due to their similarities. Dryads typically have darker shades of hair with blonde hair and blue eyes being rare among natural dryads, but not uncommon among hamadryads.
 
#### Lifespan and maturity
 
Dryads have a lifespan similar to elves, typically living up to five hundred years on average. Dryads reach full maturity at the age of twenty, and beyond this dryads retain their youthful appearance and vitality until their death.

#### Dryad Abilities
 
The dryads are a naturally dexterous and stealthy races, excelling in archery and hit and run tactics. The dryads also have an affinity for using natural herbs for healing, and posions to defeat those who attack their homelands. The dryads connection to the arcane nature of the Weave grants them a resistance to magical effects, allows them to communicate with creatures of the woods, and effectively teleport short ranges between trees.
 
#### Personalities
 
Dryads are typically regarded as distant, aloof, and restrained, they rarely act on emotions and become reckless. The dryads are far more likely to spend weeks contemplating a decision before acting upon them, when the dryads do they are ruthless and single minded in carrying them out.
 
Dryads are typical a highly racist races, having trouble differentiating the actions of an individual from the actions of a race; though when they spend enough time with a member they can grow a fondness for them. The dryads look more favorably upon races who respect nature, such as the elves, gnomes, and firbolgs, while despising the races that seek only to exploit nature, like the humans and dwarves.
 
#### Subraces
 
There are two subraces of the dryads, based upon their creation, and in most cases it is difficult to tell a natural dryad apart from a hamadryad
 
Natural Dryads The natural dryads who are born as dryads, it is they that have a deeper connection to nature
 
Hamadryads The hamadryads are those who have been transformed into dryads at a young age, hamadryads are more likely to retain traits of their natural race, like human-like skin tones.
 
 
#### Kingdoms
 
Kingdom of Caedreon The Kingdom of Caedreon is the sole remaining kingdom of the dryads in the heart of the Elnurian Forest, which is a stronghold against human encroachment.

The flame is the warmth that creates life, and the flame destroys the unworthy and purifies the world. The clerics of the flame are a pragmatic bunch who are adept at both subterfuge and martial combat, and it is the flame of their deities that are capable of burning away heathens. They are also inclined to othering - creating an enemy group to justify their radical actions - be they other races, monstrosities, or undead, to invigorate themselves as crusaders against evil and the only faith with the will and righteousness to do what is necessary to destroy the great evils of the world. Most of all the deities of flame present themselves as the saviours of the world and the sword that will destroy the darkness whatever form it takes. The deities of flame include R'hllor (A song of Ice and Fire) and the Eternal Flame (The Witcher).

> ##### Variant: Lasting Damage
> It is my recommendation that a creature that benefits from the Kiss of the Red God suffers lingering damage, be that psychological, physical, or to their memory; examples being a fear of something that had killed them, the loss of an eye, or forgetting the person they are betrothed to. It is best to discuss this with a player character should it happen to them, otherwise integrate it to an NPC.

## The Elder Blood 
According to some, it is a powerful elven curse passed from generation to generation. Those in whose veins the infamous Hen Ichaer flows are said to carry death and destruction within them, to sow hatred and disdain in the hearts of men. It was from this contaminated blood that Ithlinne prophesied an avenger would be born, a destroyer of nations and worlds.

Others claim the Elder Blood is an extremely rare inherited talent, granting control over space to a degree unattainable even to elven Sages. Sadly, few bearers of this gift have been able to control it in full.  Partial mastery inevitably leads to sudden outbursts of the Power that take the form of unpredictable, uncontrollable and thus extremely dangerous explosion. Behind the dark legends about the Curse of the Elder Blood lies the truth of these tragic cases.

Bearers of the Elder Blood gene are exceedingly rare, and when they appear they are subject to great interest of the might rulers of the world and mages alike. Prophecies are formed around them, and there are those who seek to harness their powers or even add these powers to their own family lineage.    
Regardless, those who learn to harness the powers of the Elder Blood become incredibly powerful and capable of manipulating space itself.  
### Warrior of the Elder Blood
The archetypal Warrior of the Elder Blood focuses on drawing on the innate power that flows with in their veins. Those who possess the Elder Blood within them use their powers to teleport and slash down their enemies, and unleash powerful psychic screams.

On a successful one a creature takes half as much damage and is pushed back 5-feet.

You may use this feature equivalent to  your Constitution modifier before you finish a long rest. The number of damage dice increases by 1d6 at 10th, 15th, and 18th fighter level. 
#### Combat Jump 
At 10th level you may use a bonus action to make a Combat Jump before you make an attack, you are also able to travel an additional 15-feet when jumping.

### Way of the Faceless
Monks of the Way of the Faceless venerate death, not just a deity of death but all deities of death and the concept itself, they believe that death is both a gift and price that can be paid. The faceless excel in providing the gift of death to those they choose and those they are paid to kill, to this end they have become master assassins and experts in deception, changing their appearance, and stealth.
#### Faceless Technique  
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your special martial arts training leads you to master the use of certain weapons. This path also includes instruction in the deceitful arts of disguise or forgery. You gain the following benefits:

***Faceless Weapons.*** Choose two types of weapons to be your faceless weapons. Each of these weapons can be any simple or martial weapon that lacks the heavy and special properties. You gain proficiency with these weapons if you don't already have it. Weapons of the chosen types are monk weapons for you. Many of this tradition's features work only with your faceless weapons. When you reach 6th, 11th, and 17th level in this class, you can choose another type of weapon – either melee or ranged – to be a faceless weapon for you, following the criteria above.

***Agile and fast.*** When you hit a creature with a melee attack on your turn you can use a bonus action to take the disengage action.

***Martial Prowess.*** You can use a bonus action on your turn to make melee weapon attacks with faceless weapons stronger. When you do so, any target you hit with a melee weapon attack using a faceless weapon deals an extra 1d4 of the weapon’s damage type. You retain this benefit until the end of the current turn.  
 
***Path of Deceit.*** You gain proficiency with your choice of the disguise kit or forgery kit.

#### Facechanger

Starting at 6th level, you have a pool of five dead humanoids, of your choice, that you can transform into, you are also able to perform a magic ritual on a creature that has been dead for no longer than twelve hours. The ritual involves pouring a thick bloody potion on a dead humanoid’s face, using a special dagger to remove the humanoid’s face, and preserving the humanoid’s face with magical spells, the ritual takes 30 minutes to perform. As an action you can transform into a perfect copy of the dead humanoid, however, your clothing and other equipment don’t change.

Even to the most astute observers, your ruse is usually indiscernible. If you rouse suspicion, or if a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection.

There is no limit to the number of humanoids faces you can keep as a pool to transform into, however, the faces must remain intact. A creature can use an action to destroy a face should it fall into it possession, when a preserved face is destroyed you can no longer transform into that creature. The preserved face can be an unlimited distance away from you, and even on a different plane of existence and still allow you to transform.
#### Faceless Ki

***Hidden in Shadows.*** You can spend 1 ki point to use a bonus action to take the hide action.

***Knife in the Dark.*** You can spend 3 ki points when you hit on a melee weapon attack, that you either have advantage on, if the creature is surprised, or if one of your allies is within 5 feet of the target. When you do so you add 3d6 damage of the same kind of damage as your weapon damage.

### Oath of Eternal Flame 
The Oath of the Eternal Flame binds paladins to be the righteous and zealous fire that burns corruption and evil away from the world. They are bound to bring about their teachings as they shall bring the worlds to their salvation. The Oath also binds paladins to protect the downtrodden and smallfolk of the world from the dangers of monstrosities, magic, and others (be the others ethnic groups, different races, or other religious practitioners) when possible, but if they need to be sacrificed to destroy their greatest enemies then that is a worthy and noble trade, though it may still be a difficult one, and is a heavy burden for the paladins to bare having to decode when it is appropriate to sacrifice innocents. The paladins of the Oath of the Flame tend towards neutrality rather than good. 
#### Tenants of the Eternal Flame
The tenants of the Eternal Flame can vary based upon the denomination of the religious sect that the oath is attached to.

***Throw Down the Heathens.*** All those who worship the false gods must see the error of their ways.

***Destroy the Abominations.*** All monstrous races must be destroyed as they are an anathema to the cultured races.

***Burn Away Corruption.*** Corruption, outside of your church, be it political, financial, or the more sinister monstrous kinds cannot be tolerated and must be burned away by holy flame.

***Protector of the Downtrodden.*** The Flame teaches that the less fortunate must be protected from both abusers and the foul monsters of the world.

***Dangers of Magic.*** Magic and those who practice it in a reckless manner must be destroyed as they are a danger to the smallfolk, the world, and even themselves.

***The Great Enemy.*** The most important of the tenants of the Eternal Flame, and supersedes all other oaths, your church's existential enemy must be combated at every opportunity, with collateral damage being of no concern when combating the great enemy. 
#### Oath Spells
you gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.

| Paladin Level   | Spells |

### Conclave of the Witch Hunter

Fiendologists utterly devote themselves to the study of the various demons and devils that make their homes in the lower planes of existence. The study of such evil lore, dealing with fiends, and fighting them leaves a distinct and sometimes horrid effect on a fiendologist’s mind, body, and soul.

The vast majority of fiendologists are madmen, sadists, and power hungry wizards who have turned to most evil creatures in all the known planes of existence for power. While the majority are evil, there are fiendologists who seek to use the powers of fiends against the Nine Hells and Abyss; they believe that the sacrifice of their bodies and souls are a small price to pay to gain power to drive off greatest threat to the material plane, demons and devils.

#### Suggested Characteristics
Highborn are born and raised to a very different lifestyle than most people ever experience, and their personalities reflect that upbringing. A noble title comes with a plethora of bonds responsibilities to family, to other nobles (including the sovereign), to the people entrusted to the family’s care, or even to the title itself. But this responsibility is often a good way to undermine a noble.

The devil is  not hostile unless attacked, if attack the Erinyes is capable of casting plane shift (only to the Nine Hells) 3/day, and if it believes that I cannot defeat the creature or creatures that summoned it, it flees back to the Nine Hells.  You are able to negotiate infernal contracts with it and also trade souls for magical objects, as described in the soul trade table.

> ##### Convenience Verses Core
> The Deal with the Devils rule as presented above relies upon two spells detailed later in this pdf, *soul steal* and *soul rend*, these spells conflict with the *soul cage* spell presented in  Xanathar's Guide to Everything which places the spell level to capture souls as much higher than the spell level presented here. I have made the decision to keep the spell levels for this new soul trading mechanic at lower levels to allow more spellcasters and players to engage with this mechanic. Should you want to keep the magic required to capture souls at a higher level use the *soul rend (alternative)* spell and the alternative soul trade tables below.
