Every race is welcome in RaS BUT if you want to make a kh'ronen (base race of the land RaS is in, and Emma's race) then this is the information you need...
General Attributes
Average Height is between 5'6" -6' for female Kh'rons, and 6'2" - 6'7" for male Kh'rons. Hair, eye and skin tone varies according to which subrace the Kh'ron belongs to. All Kh'ron are given five lives they may live, at the end of each life, there is The Refreshing, and they are given a new body -rarely is the body of another subrace than what they were born into, but in severe circumstances, it has happened. Unless there was great, severe trauma that caused the death, all memories are left intact from one body to the next, though if they were bonded to someone, such as wife, husband, child, dear friend, they may feel a closeness to them in their reborn bodies. Those who are refreshed in a body of a different subrace rarely if ever retain their memories. After the fifth Refreshing, the soul returns to the Misty Plains where dwell the Dark Kh'ron and await their passage to their heaven, the demiplane of time.
When one kh'ron dies, another kh'ron is born, somewhere. Death begets life. Funeral services are usually not given for kh'ronens until the sixth death in Spirydon, when they will not return in a new body. In other lands, because of other traditions, it is usual to see a funeral or memorial for a kh'ronen's death even when it is a Refreshing death. Sometimes, one may find the babe that is born at the kh'ronen's death, and that baby is presented at the funeral service of the dead kh'ronen. Sometimes... that babe bears the soul of the departed kh'ronen but only one wise in such things can tell in a small infant. It would not be until they are older, and can begin to speak memories and know those around them, that it would be made clear who they are.
There have been times when Kh'ronos has granted a refreshed body of a child, young adult, or same age as when someone dies to someone of great importance, instead of having them begin from infancy their next Refreshing. One never knows if this will happen or not, one's soul merely soars from it's fallen body into the Refreshed body of the god's choosing, whether infant in the womb, or created body by the gods.
"Abbe Kh'ronos leesken pen zu, om'terra zu arnus. Hendre ze'chi, la da'chyd. "
Father Kh'ronos watches over you, Mother Earth swallows you. Fallen soul, be refreshed.
Du'Kh'ron
"The Winter Kh'ron"
Sons of Duthair
Their symbol: A snowflake.
The Du'Kh'ron have white or grey hair, and blue eyes. Very rarely they may have eyes of grey. Their skin is pale white and they live in the high, icy mountains of Spirydon. They are very proud, and wish to keep their subrace pure above all else. They keep to themselves, and it is rare that an Oratio is summoned from this subrace, which makes them bitter towards those are made d'Oratio. Their alignment is chaotic, usually neutral or evil, and they are inclined to evil more than any other Kh'ron. They are the sons and daughters of Duthair, son of Kh'ronos and Lileander.
Magics - Cold magics, dark magics, diablerie
Xe'Kh'ron
"The Moon Kh'ron"
Sons and Daughters of Xeladra and Duthair
Their symbol: A crescent moon
When Xeladra was brought back to life by Duthair, and a relationship blossomed, Xeladra birthed the first moon kh'ron, the youngest of all the kh'ronen races.
Xe'kh'ron are extremely beautiful, elegant creatures. They have white, or silver hair (rare: silvery blue) with blue eyes flecked with gold or silver, and rarely, silvery grey or gold eyes. Their inherent gifts are bardic skills, elegance, grace, and a strong penchant for magic of all kinds. Their skin is snowy white, sometimes so white it appears slightly blue. They tend to the neutral or good alignments of Xeladra, though it is not impossible to find evil xe'kh'ron, but they are rare and shunned by their people. They are gifted at birth by a crescent moon somewhere on their body by Xeladra herself, the kiss of the moon.
Magics: celestial, divination, augury, metamagic, any magics are available and done well
Twi'Kh'ron
"The Woodland Kh'ron"
Sons and Daughters of Twilleliah
Their symbol: A tree.
The Twi'Kh'ron have a wide range of hair color ranging from browns, to auburns to black. Their eyes are brown or green, and rarely they are blue. Their skin tone is medium to pale, according to where the tribes dwell. Those of the Forest of Darkness tend to be paler than those of the Forest of Shifting Colors or the Forest of Musical Waters. They are the more primitive Kh'ron, tribal and ceremonial. Many wear little to no clothes, and all priests and priestesses of the Great Father and his children come from this sub race. Most of the Oratios have also been summoned from this subrace as well, making them the enemy of the evil Du'Kh'ron for that simple fact alone. They are the sons and daughters of Twilleliah, daughter of Kh'ronos and Lileander.
Twi'Kh'ron often name their children something meaningful, and their middle names often show their lineage, such as Zeviliah-- the daughter of Zevi. Or Zevilithel-- the son of Zevi. Some tribes are more ceremonial and strict about this than others, according to their more tribal status. Some "tribes" are merely familial villages and some are actual tribes that subsist from the land as natives in the forests.
Magics they would be inclined to: Healing, Druidry, Nature magics, Divination, Rune
There are a few ceremonies that are well known, one of such being the palm kissing that is often seen being done by a woman to a man. This shows submission in a way, but to them, it shows loyalty and love, and it is only done by a woman to a man that she has devoted herself to. When she is able to kiss the palm of a man, she has decided to give herself wholly to that man. It is sometimes part of a wedding ceremony.
Another is also a "submission" ceremony, for in the twi'kh'ron villages, men are the head of the family. Women often show this leadership, by kissing the man's feet in certain situations where they wish to show complete devotion, even moreso than just what is shown by kissing one's palm. This can be done by daughters to their fathers, women to their tribal leaders, wives to husbands, and to others in leadership. Men also may do this ceremony, though they merely touch their foreheads to the feet of the person in leadership. It is a rare thing for a man to show submission in this way to a woman. Rare indeed. The only cases in Eldon Heath history would be to Twilleliah or Lileander herself.
Twilleliah is the goddess of Healing.
Lo'Kh'ron
"The Dark Kh'ron"
Sons and Daughters of Lo'cander
Their symbol: A triquetra
These grey to black skinned Kh'ron have any range of black, red to auburn hair and black or grey eyes. They have a strong ability for magic, and it is whispered that they can travel the Strings of Time without needing to use the magical timepieces designed for this, but those on the Council of Eldon Heath do not wish to believe this. In the past, a few Oratios have come from this subrace. They live on the Misty Plains, a place of magic and wonder, where souls wait to be reborn into the land of the living. The Misty Plains are so ethereal, that only the Lo'Kh'ron, and souls of the dead, can find it. Lo'cander, son of Kh'ronos and Xeladra, is the father of the Lo'Kh'ron. They are most often neutrally aligned, though any that are chaotic or evil aligned tend to be extremely cruel to those of the other races due to the racism they have suffered.
Magics: Chronomancy (natural), Necromancy, Dark magics, Shadow , Vivimancy, Force
Ag'Kh'ron
"The Water Kh'ron"
Sons and Daughters of Agaliah
Their symbol: Three lines on top of each other representing water.
Ag'Kh'ron are another sub race born of the union of Kh'ronos and Xeladra, from their daughter Agaliah. They dwell near water, on the seasides, in the marshes, anywhere as long as a body of water is near. They have black hair, black eyes and tanned skin, and are looked down upon by other subraces almost as the "step child" of the Kh'ron. But....prophecy has stated that the Champion of Spirydon will come from the Ag'Kh'ron, so they do not lose hope, and await the arrival of the Promised One.
Magics: Hydromancy, Druidry, Blood, Elemancy
Ela'Kh'ron
"The Royal Kh'ron"
Sons and Daughters of Elador
Their symbol: A crown.
Noble and proud are the royals and nobles of Spirydon. Their hair color ranges from brunettes to blondes to auburn, but they ALL have bright green eyes ringed with gold. All royals are of this pure blood, mixed Ela'Kh'ron (if that should happen) cannot take a title of nobility or the throne as King or Queen. They are very strict about keeping their subrace pure, almost as dogmatic about it as the Du'Kh'ron. The royal kh'ronen people especially have a hatred towards the water kh'ronen.
Magics - Pyromancy
Uv'Kh'ron
"The Star Kh'ron"
Sons and Daughters of Uvos
Their symbol: A star
The most striking in appearance of any Kh'ron are the unique Uv'Kh'ron. Their skin is so pale as to have a bluish tint to it, and their white hair usually hangs long on both male and females. There are forelocks of black that frame their pale faces, seen even as young children. Their eyes are black with shifting silver flecks in them. Upon birth, an Uv'Kh'ron develops a silver star magically on the corner of each eye. Legend states that Dulith and Agaliah bore a son, Uvos, who was the father of the Uv'Kh'ron. Upon maturity, each Uv'Khron must journey to the center of the Forest of Darkness and obtain a seed star from the Tree of Stars that grows deep within the Forest of Darkness. This star is then named after them in the night skies, when it is born. If they fail, their stars on the corner of their eyes fade, and they are treated as outcasts. Uv'kh'ronen often have their beautiful long hair cut off, as punishment for crimes.
Magics - Celestial, Divine, Augury
Ne'Kh'ron
"The Silver Kh'ron"
Sons and Daughters of Ne'vilas
Their symbol: A silver heart
The youngest daughter of Kh'ronos and Lileander took the most beautiful male and most beautiful female and crafted them in her image, creating her own subrace of beautiful kh'ronen people. As they are a young race, there are not a great number of ne'kh'ron in the land. Ne'kh'ron are beautiful creatures, with silvery blonde to silvery white hair, creamy complexions, full lush lips, and blue eyes ringed in silver. They are well endowed, and very fertile. Their highest regard is beauty, love, peace - their bohemian beliefs cause them to be considered almost a joke by the more serious subraces, they are also spoken of as having low morals, as they rarely marry for life; instead they handfast for a year and a day, and then move on to another when their time is up. Sometimes they handfast with the same person several times in their life. The children are raised in a communal way, everyone assisting in the rearing of all of the children, and in the teaching of philosophy and culture. Ne'kh'rons like nothing more than sitting around, drinking absinthe, and talking philosophy or the latest fashions.
Magics - Charm/Enchantment, Geometry, Archaic
Sz'kh'ron
"The Air Kh'ron"
Their symbol:
There is only one air kh'ron left in the realms, for this race was obliterated totally and for good reason, reasons only whispered in the stories told to all the children to scare them about a race of kh'ron who walked the winds and would flay them alive if given the chance.They were a warring race that not only killed themselves off so much that no Refreshings were left for any of them, the gods saw fit to make sure no air kh'ron would ever walk the face of the realms again- even as a spirit...save for one. They have been largely forgotten by most, lost to ancient legend, even the one that still walks the currents of air has not been heard of for decades.
Magics - Aeromancy
Twa'kh'ron
"Mixed Kh'ron"
Their symbol: Varies
The twa'kh'ron are mixtures of two or more kh'ronen subraces. They take attributes from their mixed sub races. Some subraces are more open to twa'kh'ron than others, and these mixed raced kh'ronen are sometimes chosen as Oratios. There are no mixed air kh'rons, and very few with royal blood mixed in them. Most will be a mix of water and woodland.
Magic: Depends on the mixture of races.
