NarmenBack to Top
Race Points: 15
Narmen are an ancient race that predates almost all others. Originally created to serve as the chosen warriors of Zovilla, the narmen have since fallen from grace though. The only surviving memebers of the race have spent the intervening years in isolation in their now flooded capital city of Yggdrasils studying the arcane arts.

Physical Description: Taller than humans, elves, or orcs, Narmen stand at an average of 7 feet tall with a build similar to an elf who has spent too much time sitting at their desk. Narmen have coal black skin with a network of grey scars that vaguely resemble arcane runes, a remnant of their ancient powers. Due to their arcane modification, Narmen have lack all hair and possess a single long tusk jutting straight out of their mouth which they are quite familiar with not running into things, much to the perplexing of other races.
Society: Most narmen are citizens of the First Amospian Empire which has divided into a number of sects and created colonies across the world. Narmen society is organized into a strict hierarchy and narmen generally follow their higher ups unquestioningly and expect those below them to do the same.
Relations: Narmen generally see themselves as superior to other races though they are not cruel only patronizing. Narmen wish to uplift the world though they generally believe that the other races will never reach them. The other races find this behavior something of a nuissance but are not afraid to take advantage of their aid as the Narmen do possess knowledge that has been collected over their millenia of research that can be of significant use.
Alignment and Religion: Narmen are gnerally lawful and good and follow Zovilla but a growing number reject her teachings though most are still lawful.

Alial ObjectBack to Top
Alial races have (generally suppressed) magical energy that infuses a specific part of their body. Though this energy may be present in the object before the creature's death, alial objects are non-magical until after the creature's death and only acquire their abilities if they are still part of the creature when they die. This body part must be hard like bone or a gemstone. This object can otherwise take many different forms.
Alial objects contain a significantly strong impression of the owner's identity. Whether or not the creature is deceased, alial objects can be used as a focus for any spell that requires identifying a creature, such as scrying, to perfectly identify the owner. The owner also receives no saves against such spells.
Alial objects can also be incorporated into specific type of magic items, granting bonuses but potentially changing their effect. Alial objects do not impart their weapon properties or spell modifiers unless stated otherwise or incorporated into an item that uses them.
Description
A narman's alial object takes the form of the tusk which protrudes from their mouth called an alidens. When removed, this tusk can be used as a one-handed melee weapon that deals 1d6 points of piercing damage and requires exotic weapon proficiency. The tusk receives its weapon properties as well, though an alial object only has the creature's weapon properties if it was part of the creature upon their death.
