The Peoples of Aelaria

Many tongues, many customs — one restless world between them.

Humans

EVERYWHERE, AND THRIVING

Diverse and widespread, humans have built great civilizations across Aelaria on adaptability, resourcefulness, and sheer determination. Shorter-lived than the elder peoples, they make up for it in invention, community, and the stubborn conviction that anything can be improved.

Elves

THE MELODIC PEOPLE

Long-lived and self-sufficient, the elves of Arvandor pair old-forest patience with a surprising love of invention — theirs is the kingdom of steam and craft. Their language, Elvish, is beautiful and melodic, with a grammar as intricate as their clockwork.

Dwarves

CHILDREN OF THE MOUNTAIN

Strength, courage, and determination are the measure of a life in the far north. The dwarves of Icevale carve their halls half inside the mountain, endure what no one else could, and mine the metals every kingdom needs — on their terms.

Half-Elves

BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

Born of two peoples and often claimed by neither, half-elves inherit elven senses and human restlessness. Many find their family where they make it — a crew, a cause, a name of their own. The story of Aelaria's most famous half-elves is still being written.

Among them — Finalthief, Leia, and Clisson al-Hurra

Peoples are plural. Persons are particular. Meet the half-elves who carry the story.
