Adunian

Adunians are a half breed descended from a tribe lead by Harren, the son of Horen, and Sarai, the leader of a group of elves known as the Mali'Dun (this means Adunians are part-elves, though not all half-elves are Adunians, only the ones descended from those specific groups). The Adunians once occupied a mountain range on the Northeast coast of Aegis, but their rule was overturned in fourth century and they were banished across the sea. The Adunians settled a small continent to the Northeast of Aegis called Al'Ildic, where they thrived until the Undead Invasion in the fourteenth century which almost vanquished them from existence. Survivors fled back across the sea to Aegis and integrated themselves with human society.

Halfling

Dwarves (Dwarven: Dwedmar; Raevir: Dwarfskis; Batavian: Dwergen; Elvish: Bortu; Blah: Stowts) are a descendant race and the sons of Urguan. Halflings are a short, stout people of Aegis. None is known of how they came to be, but it is believed they are a hybrid of Humans, Dwarves, and other races. Because of their short height of about 3 feet, Halflings are often called Half-men. They are well-known for being peaceful people, and live in small isolated villages, and live in houses called burrows. Halflings are well known as farmers, smokers, and drinkers. They hold some of the best parties known to the four races full of booze, games, and dancing. Many Halflings prefer a simple life isolated away from civilization, but a select few live in cities and towns. Halflings have a reputation for being docile and peaceful, often staying out of politics and warfare. Still, they can be surprisingly dangerous when provoked.

Dwarves

Dwarves (Dwarven: Dwedmar; Raevir: Dwarfskis; Batavian: Dwergen; Elvish: Bortu; Blah: Stowts) are a descendant race and the sons of Urguan. Although thought to be native to the Aegisian city of Kal'Urguan, it is often debated that their origin lies in the Hall of Urguan, an ancient ruin hidden in the fallen continent of Athera. Birthed as eight Elder Clans, the dwedmar have endured through their fruitious lines, also forming various lesser clans throughout their history. Dwarfkind is governed by the Kingdom of Urguan.
