This is just a small reference to help with parts of the story that some people might not understand, it's about the races of this world. There's a lot I know but it all has its purpose.
Human- Not much here just normal homo-sapiens. They are the largest race in the world but are also viewed as the weakest and third class citizens.
Kalamaro- This race is known as witches and corrupt lords. Each witch gets one magickal aspect ex: fire, water, earth, air, spirit, time, and so on. It is also a very rare thing to find a kalamaro who can wield more than one force. They are also the evil and cruel rulers of this world, although prophecy does speak of one gentle kalamaro purifying the race. Their physical differences from humans are their ears have pointed tips and their eyes have specs of jewels in them.
Drako- This race is known as born killers and warriors. They are raised from a very young age in the art of war. Each has mastered most weapons but each one has a weapon that they specialize in and always takes to battle. They are also the main force of the kalamaro army, and take pride in bloodlust they share. Physical differences from humans are their eyes that are just like serpents, and they have small patches of scales on their bodies. Their tongues are also slightly forked but most can't tell.
Wolfo- This race is known for their loyalty and playfulness. They are very hard workers and are thrilled by praise and it is rumored they also love being scratched behind the ears, although they deny it. The wolfo race also prides the belief of survival of the fittest, if one is viewed as weak they lose the respect of their people. Physical differences from humans are their ears which are basically wolf ears some pointed some floppy, they also have long bushy wolf tails.
Cateran- This race is known for their beauty and grace. There is only five males born every generation, other than that is a completely female race. The cateran are priestesses and huntresses, being slightly more tribe based than a lot of other races. A human viewpoint of them would be the amazons. Physical differences from humans are their cat like ears and their sleek shorthair tails, it is also said when angered their eyes turn to slits.
Screecher- This race is known for their intelligence and sense of justice. They are a tribe of monks who know battle but prefer to find the inner peace within themselves. The home of the screechers is atop a cluster of ancient trees. Physical differences from humans are their wings that sprout from the shoulder blades, and rather than hair coming out of their head they have a mane of feathers.
Marinas- This race is known for their empathy and intuition. The home villages of the marinas are located on the beaches of the oceans. For the most part they are healers, whether it is for the mind or body. As a species they are also very quiet and gentle, and do not enjoy or accept conflict. Physical differences from humans are that they have tiny transparent colored fins on their elbows and ankles, their fingers and toes are also webbed.
Mech- This race is known as slaves to the kalamaro. These are the creations of the kalamaro while they appear to be human, on the inside they are completely made up of machines. Most cannot think for themselves but very few who are deemed worthy are gifted with human souls by their creators, no one knows how though. Physical differences from humans are their insides are made up of machines and their voices are monotone showing little to no emotion.
Insectee- This race is known to work and serve the hive. The insectees are ruled by the hive mindset and serve their queen without question, however if the queen dies they are forced to fend for themselves and make their own choices which most cant. There are three main groups of insectees they are the white, black, and red. The three queens have their own feelings on how the species should be led, white thinks inner peace is the way, black believes war is the way and red believes chaos is the way. Physical differences from humans are they have no body hair to speak of, their eyes are completely one color meaning no pupil, they can summon and extra pair of arms from within their sides and they have beetle wings they can bring out from their back.
Vampires- This race is known for its sense of honor. While most fear this race they are the most honorable race of them all, however they are right to be feared. They are not under the kalamaro's rule exactly, they are not viewed as a threat which is a mistake. They have powerful knights and are ruled under a monarchy. If the bloodlust gets to intense they have been known to become like a raging beast. Physical differences from humans are their slightly transparent skin, two fangs on each side of their mouth, and the fact that when they drink blood their eyes begin to turn red.
Centaur- This race is known for its rage and inner beast. The centaurs pride themselves on their inner beast and connection to the wild. They are the most dominant and aggressive of all the races, caring nothing for knowledge, common sense or honor. Their home is the wide open plains where they hunt. Physical differences from humans are the bottom half of their bodies are that of horses, while the top remains human.
Satyrs- This race is known as musicians and seducers. Most find the satyrs to be a great source of entertainment, however even more view them as beings of complete corruption. They play all instruments but they are known for their use of the pipe. The power of their seduction is not their looks although most are attractive but it's their words, they pray on the desires of others and promise to make their dreams come true. Physical differences from humans are their bottom half is that of a goat and they have small horns protruding from their foreheads.
Elementals- This race is known as sneaky shape shifters. They were nicknamed elementals long ago because of their ability to mimic any living thing no matter what it was, thus the belief they must have the elements inside them. They prefer to live lives in solitude, finding the company of others even their own kind to be annoying and unsettling. They are usually hired as assassins or thieves. Physical differences from humans are… nothing in their normal state you can tell no difference.
Demons- This race is known as the ancient evil. This race is one not much is known since it has been so long since any have seen them. It is known that their bloodlust is legendary as is their cruelty. They ruled this world for ages before the kalamaro came into power and banished them inside the earth. Physical differences from humans are they usually have slightly blue or red skin, eyes as black as night and hug horns growing out of their thick manes of hair.
