| Description: | Ale'un (Ale meaning "day", and Un meaning "People of") are forest-dewllers, feeling themselves guardians of nature. They are extremely fair-skinned, of middling height and weight, and generally willowy, with exotic eyes of varied hues. They are as advanced in thought and abilities as any other species, but have chosen to spurn the concept of cities, preferring instead to build their communities in and around the forests, to remain closer to nature. |
| Attitudes on: |
Humans:
(Yuannor) |
"Most of them are worthy creatures, although some of the ideas they embrace are unenlightened and confusing. Why they choose to live all crammed into such dense groups in those noisy, dirty cities is beyond me..." |
Dwarves:
(Eowujar) |
"While they do have admirable work ethics and ideals, they are far too shortsighted. They may only see the tree in front of them, and the firewood it can provide for that evening. They would not recognize the years of growth and effort it took to get there, nor the shelter and food it may provide for years to come." |
Ogres:
(Gwirath) |
"Most of them have IQs of 2, but it takes 3 to grunt…still, the size and strength of these prideful creatures can be an attribute, when they aren’t trampling every little sapling they pass. Not the most observant of creatures, nor do they usually care when they do notice the little details like that." |
Drakyn:
(L'zyarn) |
"They are alright, as they mostly stay out of our forests—it’s far too cramped for most of them to fly in and out of the thicker stands of trees. Those who try tend to be rather careless, though." |
Minotaurs:
(Makkar) |
"Not the most articulate of groups. Why is it so many in the realms are prone to violence or shows of strength as a means of proving their point? The minotaurs are more of the same, unfortunately." |
Nixies:
(N'allarri) |
"Very similar to their pixie cousins, especially that they can be quite happy-go-lucky at times. But as water dwellers, they more than most appreciate how the natural world they live in must be cared for, lest it be tainted for all." |
Pixies:
(P'allarri) |
"Wonderful friends, they are always so light-hearted and happy—more than you would expect, considering their history, but they are delightful to be around. Very conscientious of their surroundings, and quite respectful of the nature around them." |
Prrmyr:
(Prrymr) |
"Charming beings, their quick reflexes and skills are extremely helpful to keeping the forest safe. Plus some of them purr in the cutest way..." |
Half-Elves:
(S'Ale'un) |
"They may share some of heritage, but they are greatly tainted by the human part they possess. Some of them stray so much from our way of life, you’d never even know they had any elven blood in them, dirty things that they are." |
Half-Orcs:
(S'Uloitha) |
"These mixes of human and orc blood unfortunately seem to lack the better qualities each has to offer. It is surprising that these beings could even exist, but I guess sometimes opposites do attract... hrm..." |
Trokhon:
(Trokhon) |
"They do not seem to grasp the importance of our protective natures for the realms, and therefore belittle our adherence to our beliefs and duties. But someday they, too, will come to appreciate why it is so necessary--if they choose their allies more carefully." |
Orcs:
(Uloitha) |
"Such violent creatures, all those oafs want to do is conquer and destroy. They are misguided enough to believe they can conquer, use, and destroy anything they come across, because it’s all there for them alone. Oh, but don’t dare to tell them that they are wrong, all they do is grunt and pull a sword out... oh well, someday they will learn." |
Halflings:
(Vandar) |
"A very cheerful group of people, to be sure. Most of their pranks are harmless, at least, as long as they don’t see a reason to pick on you worse. But they can make almost anyone smile or laugh eventually." |
Zhaun:
(Zha'un) |
"Must we even discuss them? Such deceitful, arrogant... they are so entombed in the old ways of darkness that they cannot even begin to understand or accept anything else. They dwell in the dark, physically, mentally, spiritually..." |
Cernunian:
(Cernunian) |
"They are a great example of why one should respect nature and one’s surroundings—something can be far more aware than you believe it is." |
Gnomes:
(Feinggar) |
"That they are intelligent we do not doubt, but they present it in such an infuriatingly caustic manner, as if all should understand everything they do, that we cannot fathom them sufficiently for trust." |
