RACES
Prism is home to many races, each further divided into dozens of kin, clans, tribes, and ethnicities. This great diversity in heritage and customs, in beliefs and values, weaves a wondrous patchwork of cultures across the continents, a tapestry so rich and vibrant that experiencing it in its entirety would take hundreds of lifetimes.
Aegles
Graceful, lithe, and elegant, the Aegles take pride in being the keepers of ancient wisdom.
According to historians, Aegles were the first of the non-native races to arrive in Prism from the other side of the Halcyome. The day of their arrival came to be known as the Day of Advent.
Upon reaching the western shores of the continent we now refer to as the Spine, the Aegles took to the forests and foothills, where they spent their days and nights in the pursuit of knowledge and illumination, seeking to understand their place—and their destiny—in this new world.
Humans
Ambitious and industrious, Humans are driven by boundless energy and passion, striving for greatness within their fleeting lifetimes.
As one of the non-native races, Humans came through from the other side of the Halcyome in two waves. Those in the first wave would come to identify as Kurestians, while those in the second wave would go on to call
themselves Ameranneans.
Wyords
As non-natives to Prism, one might have expected the towering Wyords to take several generations to adapt to the harsh, unforgiving desert lands they had chosen for their new home.
Yet, the Wyords took so naturally to the sands of Helix that historians, whose role it is to ponder such things, have speculated whether this strong and hardy race might have originally come from a world of fire and sand, one that mirrored their newfound home.
Noxies
Mysterious and elusive, Noxies are one of Prism’s native races and a rare sight on the Spine. They live far across the ocean to the southeast, on the distant continent of Faevyn.
There, nestled within lush rainforests, they have thrived since the earliest days of their recorded history, long before the Aegles ever crossed through the Halcyome.
Elys
Like the Noxies, the timid and childlike Elys are natives of Prism. They stand apart from the other races not only because of their diminutive size, childlike proportions, and white-feathered wings, but also because they dwell high up in the clouds above Ameranne, descending to frolic and play in the rolling meadows and golden fields below whenever the fancy strikes them.
