Aerial are beings with hollow cartilage instead of bones, which give them the natural ability to fly without wings. This state of lightness keeps them extremely light of foot. Aerials can wear most armors, but their fragile bodies render armor ineffective at absorbing attacks.

Elves are thin, graceful creatures with pointed ears. Their bodies are somewhat frail, and they may bruise even when wearing thick armor.

Shikari are ancient kin of tyrlings, a predatory bloodline that thrives on the influence of its dying prey. Influence wielding affiliations view these small hunters with mingled trepidation and amusement, for the very thing that the shikari seeks is also their greatest weakness; they have no natural resistances against affiliated spells and powers and will quickly succumb to such attacks.

Tigris are tiger-like humanoids with sharp claws. They are quick and agile, their claws even sharper than some weapons. These standing creatures of prey have their own unwritten language, and can see normally in low light. Due to their natural incapability to sweat, they do not fare well in heat. Their weakened constitution makes them susceptible to disease as well.

Tyrlings are descendants of dwarves, but slightly taller. They are pensive creatures, with wiry bodies. They are a wild little race, in spirit and in blood, with a heightened metabolism that allows them to heal naturally faster than others. They are, however, quite susceptible to madness and psionics. Many a tyrling has fallen prey to a Telerean.
