They are commonly found roaming the wilderness in their tribes and very rarely encountered in villages and cities. Elven tribes tend to keep to themselves and usually resort to intimidation to keep others out of their territory. Elves are easily identifiable by their skin tone, ears and eye color. Their skin ranges from pale blues and purples to vibrant ambers and browns and a variety of colors can be found within a single tribe. Their eyes, both the iris and sclera, are vibrantly shaded with any imaginable color. If their skin and eyes don’t give them away, their ears ought to. Their ears are long and pointed looking more like a goblins ears than a humans. ]]> 2018-06-30 12:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269025859 brooke_shadburne https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269025955 Elven tribes are usually led by a Matriarch that they call the "Clan Mother."

Their kingdoms span the whole of Arda and control most of it. While the most common human groups in Arda are the Hellenic and Volsung peoples, you can also find the Samara and Nihonni that migrate across the seas to trade or settle. No one knows where humans came from or how they came to be the dominant species. The oldest records found have no mention of them at all.

While Halflings tend to keep themselves hidden away in small hamlets and groves,  their gnomish cousins are commonly found underground alongside Dwarven communities. Both Halflings and Gnomes are the smallest race in all of Ea. They come up to no more than three feet. They also tend to have longer lifespans averaging 200 to 300 years.]]> 2018-06-30 12:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269026354 brooke_shadburne https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269026361 Dwarves were one of the first races to reside in the word of Ea. They were created by the God Leagan early after the world was first formed. Dwarves make their kingdoms in the hollowed halls of great mountain ranges, tunneling deep underground. The dwarves are known for their skilled stonework and metallurgy. Dwarves are characterized by their short and broad stature, few if any break five feet and are often closer to 4. They also have incredibly long lifespans that can last up to 600 years.]]> 2018-06-30 12:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269026361 brooke_shadburne https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269031661 Orcs are a hardy, militant race that hale from Bogota, south of Evrast over the Narrow Sea. They share many similarities with Elves in being a tribal and nomadic people. But where they diverge is in their stance to outsiders. Unlike the elves who are wary to outsiders, orcs are downright murderous. Orcs defend their territory viciously and will often attack anyone who enters it be it man, woman, or child.  Few traders have made headway in to opening up trade and often paying with blood and toil. At the begging of the third century many orc tribes migrated up in to Arda and can be found all throughout its lands. Orcs are stout creatures that can range from 5' to 7' tall. Their skin usually is a grey or green hue. Orcs tend to live shorter lives than the other races with the oldest barely older than 100.]]> 2018-06-30 15:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269031661 brooke_shadburne https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269050220 The Volsung people naturally hardy and make their kingdoms in the cold northern realms. Volsungs pride themselves on their prowess in battle and the honor that comes with it. They tend to be a meritocratic people that elect their Jarls to lead them by democratic vote. They can easily be identified by their tall stature (5' 10" to 6' 7") and blond, red hair.  ]]> 2018-07-01 00:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269050220 brooke_shadburne https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269050371 The Samara are the most enigmatic of all the humans and are rarely found on the continent of Arda. Very few of them have migrated over the Ivory Sea, and those that have often employ themselves in the black market and the equally illegal slave trade.

Migrating from the west from the Mystveil Iles they were the first to bring the idea Ki to Arda. Their monasteries dot the entire continent in every nation. Where once their monasteries were almost exclusively Nihonni, they are now a bastion of all the known races. Nihonni can be identified by their slight stature--the tallest recorded height coming to 5' 11". Their facial features are soft and the men rarely grow facial hair. ]]> 2018-07-01 01:00:10 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269050655 brooke_shadburne https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269050962 The Hellenic people are by far the most common among humans. They rule over the three central kingdoms of Arda: Evrast, Neldor, Ellond and Eorith. Unlike the Volsung they have complex governments run by the nobility and the bureaucrats. Their most notable kingdom is Evrast with their capital city of the same name. Hellens tend to have darker hair colors and olive skin tones. Their size is the most diverse among humans with some almost as short as dwarves and others that rival the Volsung. ]]> 2018-07-01 01:13:46 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269050962 brooke_shadburne https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269052994 Halflings live in small agricultural communities all across Arda. They tend to keep themselves secluded to the point where kingdoms will entirely forget about them until a passerby stumbles across their village. Halflings often will build their homes in to hills or mountain side. Halflings are naturally curious and it is usually this curiosity that leads them to leave their critter comforts for a life of adventuring.]]> 2018-07-01 02:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269052994 brooke_shadburne https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269053383 Most historians believe that Gnomes first came in to the Dwarven Kingdoms sometime at the beginning of the second age. Gnomes commonly work as skilled craftsmen and inventors for the dwarven families. Unlike their Halfling cousins, Gnomes love to be around and interact with people often with such enthusiasm that they can hardly speak straight. Gnomes love bits a baubles and their homes are often full of half finished inventions and random trinkets. Just like their cousins they often will leave their homes out of curiosity of what the outside world holds. ]]> 2018-07-01 02:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269053383 brooke_shadburne https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269055353 While a King may run the kingdom, everyone knows that the real power resides in the powerful merchant families that are the gateway to the rest of the world.

Many women find themselves pregnant with a half-orc after a orc raid on their homestead or village. While uncommon they also can came from the marriage of a human and a orc. Half orcs tend to be short tempered and prone to bouts of rage, though the more they live in polite society the more they can control their emotions. They tend to receive their fathers skin tone and pointed ears, but have the build of an average human. ]]> 2018-07-01 22:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269095005 brooke_shadburne https://padlet.com/brooke_shadburne/6ln4m8uxie28/wish/269095653 Orcs are fiercely Patriarchal.
