The Dragon Realms Saga

Lesser Known Cultures of Draak'Terra

Avian

Originally finding their home in the Skyrealm city of Crown’s Rest. The avian empire was ruled by the eagles, with hawks and falcons as their warriors. At first, the avians knew of no other races except the draconians who lived with them in the skyrealm. Eons would pass until the avian owls sought to discover the realms below, being the first to contact the mountain dwelling races such as the dwarves. Soon the avians found a purpose to trade knowledge, lore, and goods with the races of the five realms and the people of Crown Rest.

Dwarf

Originally from the realm of Khanla’Rah, a vast icy world before it was mysteriously terraformed into the Sands of Power; the dwarves have since migrated to the peaks of the realm’s mountains. There, Dordiac Baines built his ancient kingdom within the country of Highstorm. Trading gold to the dragons in exchange for metals, they learned to craft some of the finest weapons in the world. Since then, the dwarves have kept good relations with dragons and dragon kind.

Kanis

Long ago the kanis were related to the elven familiar Wolves of the Eclipse, however the wolves with the closest connections to the Magi evolved into a more bi-pedal like wolven humanoid, and their descendants became the kanis we know today. Kanis still share a strong allegiance with the Forest Elves, and can be found within their cities, making up a strong part of their military.

Harekin

Rabbit humanoids of Stratus and Cypress. These beings are keen warriors and scholars who’ve held a strong alliance with humans for centuries. The Greyblade family has served as their ruling family since the dawn of the first Harekin. The Harekins of Southtail were some of the first beings that learned to tame and ride drakes and dragons. None can match a Harekin’s loyalty or courage.

Tuskore

The Tuskore are a tribalistic group of people that reside in either the jungles of Abyss or the grasslands of southern Scorch. Normally they keep to themselves, raising their strongest to be protectors of their large herds and villages. However there are those that have been known to venture out into the world to serve other kingdoms as great knights, sailors, and crafters.

Yikahti

The Yikahti are anthropomorphic cats that can be found all across the five realms. Almost as versatile as the humans, the Yikahti race is as diverse as Draak'Terra itself, with a wide array of sizes, builds, and colors of fur. Once ruled by the Claw Lords, a trio of brothers, the Yikahti nation was torn apart by civil war, resulting in many different tribes being spread out across the known world. Long ago, they were responsible for introducing their swords, the ninjato and Ilrune to the forest elves of Long Whisper.

Creatures of the Night

Demon

Evolving from the Nephilim of Destruction, the demons traveled across the universe on the Black Moon to over take the five dragon realms and infest the lands to make the world their own. With their sworn enemies being the Demon Hunters, Silent Ones, and the angels, the demons strive to make the world suffer!

Undead

When one dies, reapers of souls known as the Hands of Alanna descend from the heavens to escort souls from the Roaming Plane. However souls that the Hands do not find may become stranded and deform into ghosts, and those malevolent souls become wraiths. Necromancers, practitioners of the darkest and most forbidden magics, can raise the fallen corpses and grant them a breath of lesser life. Doing so will create ghouls and zombies. The Necromancer can even go further and perform a ritual to separate their soul into tokens and objects and amplify their magic and become undead themselves. These are called Liches.

Vampire

It is unknown who the first vampire was or where it came from, all that is known is that the vampires were the first of the Night, existing longer than the demons themselves. Vampires exist in clans and families, ruling over portions of their carved territories. When the Black Moon arrived, the vampires would later align themselves with Father’s first enemy, the demons. This granted them further strength and cementing them as a powerful foe within the Night.

Werewolf

These monsters underneath children’s beds, werewolves, have been a plight on humans since before the Angel War. The largest and oldest human clan, the Cromwells, sought out the Angels for magic, as it was their duty to spread it to the various races. The Cromwells wished to hunt better, and sought out a witch for her magic, but after not giving her payment for her services, the Cromwells were cursed with the curse of the Lycanthrope, turning them into bloodthirsty werewolves. They turned on their own kind, friend or foe. This curse would only affect humans and only over time with the curse, could one calm the beast within.
