elves
Winged elves
Winged Elves, known for their ethereal beauty and majestic presence, possess a slender and graceful build. Their striking appearance is further enhanced by their captivating eyes, which can range in color from orange, gold, red, to purple. One of the most distinctive features of Winged Elves is their magnificent feathered wings, which are a symbol of their status and hierarchy within their society.
The color of the wings plays a significant role in Winged Elf culture and signifies their position and role in society. A hierarchy is established based on the wing color, with each hue representing a particular status. Red wings denote rulers and leaders, while blue wings signify nobility and influential figures. Gold wings are associated with individuals who possess great magical or physical strength, and silver wings represent exceptional warriors. Turquoise and green wings are often seen among the working class, while grey wings are indicative of a lower social class. Brown, pink, orange, and yellow wings are commonly found among the religious orders. White wings symbolize those who are without a kingdom or land, while black wings indicate individuals who are either nearing death or hold significant power. Dull-colored wings are associated with traitors and outcasts within the Winged Elf society.
Winged Elves have a preference for temperate climates, as it complements their delicate nature and enhances their ability to maneuver gracefully through the air. Unfortunately, their unique wings have made them the target of hunters seeking to capture and exploit their beauty. This constant threat has led Winged Elves to develop a cautious and vigilant attitude towards outsiders.
In terms of economy, the Winged Elves predominantly engage in military and commerce-related activities. They excel in trading various commodities such as fruits, weapons, and minerals, utilizing their ability to fly to establish vast networks and connections across different lands. While they value knowledge, magic, and physical prowess, Winged Elves tend to show a certain disdain for art, perceiving it as a less practical pursuit.
The natural agility and aerial mobility granted by their wings make Winged Elves formidable in combat. As a Winged Elf, your inherent abilities are enhanced by the following traits:
Ability Score Increase: Your intelligence (INT) score increases by 1, reflecting your affinity for knowledge and strategic thinking.
Wings: You are gifted with a pair of feathered wings, granting you a flying speed of 30 feet. This enables you to soar above your foes and gain a tactical advantage.

Fae elves
Fae Elves, a diminutive and enchanting race, possess a slender and shorter stature compared to most elves. They are a diverse people, with their eyes displaying a wide spectrum of colors, including silver, green, purple, and blue. One of the most striking features of Fae Elves is their tendency towards heterochromia, granting them a captivating and unique gaze. Additionally, their pupils often exhibit unusual and mesmerizing shapes, adding to their mystique.
Occasionally, Fae Elves bear the rare gift—or burden—of growing delicate and ethereal horns. These horned individuals are considered cursed and are often ostracized from their communities, destined to wander as outcasts.
The hallmark ability of Fae Elves is their innate power to turn invisible at will, an ability that surpasses any magical spell or potion. Their invisibility is a formidable advantage, especially considering their smaller size, enabling them to move through the world with grace and stealth. This exceptional trait likely evolved as a survival mechanism, allowing them to navigate their cold, rainy lands and evade potential threats with ease.
Fae Elves are inherently attuned to magic and possess boundless creativity. Their minds are often brimming with innovative ideas, making them exceptional strategists and problem solvers. Embracing the gifts of nature, art, and beauty, Fae Elves find their cultural foundation in these core values. However, it is important to note that some individuals may deviate from these principles, choosing violence or alternative paths, though the majority find little interest in such pursuits.
Their economy primarily revolves around agriculture, as they cultivate the lush lands they prefer to inhabit. The cold and rainy climate provides fertile ground for their agricultural endeavors, and their magical abilities further aid in the cultivation of bountiful harvests.
As a Fae Elf, your inherent traits are heightened by the following characteristics:
Ability Score Increase: Your charisma (CHAR) score increases by 1, reflecting your enchanting presence and inherent ability to connect with others.
Invisibility: Due to your potent magical gift, you can cast invisibility a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus (P.B) before requiring rest or replenishment. This unparalleled ability allows you to move undetected and remain elusive even in the most challenging situations

Raven Elves
Raven Elves, characterized by their average height and slender build, have a distinctive appearance with grey or purple-grey skin tones. Their eyes display a range of colors, from grey, brown to green or yellow, adding to the air of mystery that surrounds them. Hair colors often include white, silver, brown, or black, and they prefer short hairstyles that complement their dark and moody attire. These elves are typically found dwelling in windy and upland climates, seeking solace in gloomy hills and shadowed landscapes.
Unlike most other elves, Raven Elves possess physical strength that surpasses their kin, though many do not openly display their muscular build. It is often reserved for the elite among them, who serve as the guardians and protectors of their communities. Their remarkable immune systems contribute to their rarity of falling ill, making them a robust and hardy race.
Legends and whispers speak of the Raven Elves having glimpses of the future, a gift that sets them apart from others. Whether true or not, this aura of foresight adds to the enigmatic nature of their kind.
In terms of military strength, Raven Elves are known to have a formidable alliance with Winged Elves, and together, their combined forces are a force to be reckoned with. However, the Raven Elves are more inclined towards defensive strategies, using their physical prowess to protect their lands and people.
The core of Raven Elf culture centers around the acceptance of Fate, viewing it as an inevitable and essential aspect of existence. Blood and necromancy practices are common, as they believe in embracing both the light and dark aspects of life. Despite the gloom and doom that reigns over their lands, Raven Elves maintain a somewhat light-hearted disposition, expressing themselves through various artistic pursuits. Their philosophical nature allows them to explore the deeper mysteries of life and the universe, seeking meaning and understanding.

snow elves
Snow Elves, towering above their elven counterparts, possess a regal and graceful appearance. Their hair is characterized by light shades, and their captivating eyes come in hues of lavender, silver, blue, or brown. Among all elven types, they are the least inclined towards religious practices and favor modest garments that reflect their simple yet elegant lifestyle. Their unique light coloring helps them blend harmoniously into their snowy surroundings, and they are renowned as the only elven race that can reach an impressive height of 6 feet.
These elves are naturally drawn to living in regions near the poles, where their physical attributes and adaptability to colder climates serve them well.
While Snow Elves may not match the physical strength of Raven Elves, the cunning of Winged Elves, the adaptability of Sea Elves, or the swift invisibility of Fae Elves, they excel in battles of intellect and strategy. With their brilliant minds, they possess an innate talent for creating and tinkering, constantly devising new plans and solutions. Rather than dwelling in dreams like Fae Elves, Snow Elves bring their visions to life through innovative inventions and meticulous planning. They prefer to engage in trade, exchanging valuable materials like minerals for financial gain, and often strive to remain neutral in times of war, always opting for calculated strategies over brute force.
The culture of Snow Elves is a testament to their advanced civilization, where they have made significant progress in various fields of knowledge. They boast exceptional expertise in medicine, mathematics, and literature, and their accomplishments in alchemy have earned them global recognition.

Nature spirits
Dryad
Dryads, ethereal tree spirits that take on human-like forms, are inextricably connected to the trees they embody. Though they appear human, their presence is graced with an otherworldly allure, as their veins emit a subtle green hue, and their skin is radiant and flawless. This heightened beauty sets them apart from ordinary humans and marks them as guardians of the natural world.
The bond between a Dryad and her tree is vital for their well-being, and if they stray too far from it, they may become sick and weep sap in distress. This profound connection with their tree makes it easy to identify a Dryad among other beings.
Due to the constant threat of their trees being cut down and harmed, Dryads have developed a more aggressive nature compared to other nature spirits. This defensive disposition often leads them to avoid contact with strangers, allowing only druids or fellow nature spirits to approach them. They guard their sanctuaries vigilantly, ensuring no one else sets eyes upon them or their tree.
Dryads have a special affinity for nymphs, viewing them as their own children. However, not every Dryad has taken an oath to protect a nymph, as the danger posed by humans often leads to tragic consequences for the nymphs. This reality serves as a painful reminder of the fragility of nature.

Naiad
Naiads, ethereal water spirits, exude a beauty that mirrors the water they inhabit, imbuing them with a flowy and graceful aura. Their appearance adapts to the type of water they dwell in, revealing a unique and captivating representation of their aquatic domain. For instance, a Sea Naiad may exhibit tanned skin, long flowing blonde hair, and deep blue eyes, resonating with the vast ocean. Conversely, a Lake Naiad may present pale skin, dark brown hair, and enchanting grey eyes, reflecting the tranquil and serene waters of a lake. However, all Naiads possess common features, such as captivating eyes in hues of green, blue, grey, or brown, and their hair exudes a flowing and ethereal quality. The veins coursing through their bodies shimmer with a bluish tinge, representing their intimate bond with the waters they embody. The health and well-being of a Naiad are intrinsically tied to the purity of their water, making them vulnerable to pollution and the tainting of their precious domains.
Inherently curious and friendly, Naiads are endowed with a degree of intelligence that grants them a deep understanding of their waters. This profound connection allows them to possess an unparalleled knowledge of their aquatic realms, including the speed of the water’s flow and recent occurrences in their domains. This wealth of information makes Naiads invaluable companions, often providing guidance to lost sailors, steering them away from the deadly allure of sirens who seek to harm them.
Naiads maintain harmonious relationships with water-dwelling species, such as fish and sea elves, forming bonds that further enrich their understanding of the underwater world.

With light hair and captivating grey eyes, they embody gracefulness to an even greater extent than most nature spirits. As spirits of the wind, they possess a gentle and kind nature, epitomizing the soothing and refreshing qualities of the breeze they represent. However, when upset, Auras can become snappish and sharp-tongued, conjuring strong winds as a manifestation of their emotions. In their natural state, Auras appear to almost float instead of walking, exuding an otherworldly presence that captivates and fascinates terrestrial beings.
Friendly and approachable, Auras are known for being airheaded due to their strong connection to the wind. They maintain a close affinity with birds, with doves being their particular favorites. Their playful and carefree demeanor often leads them to be enchanted by terrestrial creatures that walk upon the ground.

With frizzy, white, grey, or black hair that mirrors the clouds they embody, their eyes shimmer in hues of electric blue, shocking yellow, or stormy grey, reflecting the celestial essence within them. These benevolent beings often possess an impressive muscular and tall physique, attuned to supporting their own weight as living clouds. However, Nephele can also appear old and frail, embodying the wisdom and nurturing qualities of grandparents. At times, they can even take on the form of beautiful maidens, further highlighting their diverse and versatile nature.
Despite their strength, Nephele tend to be shy and wary around terrestrial and aquatic creatures, harboring a deep-seated aversion to standing on the ground or submerging themselves in water. When provoked, they can become fiercely defensive, protecting their gentle and caring nature with the full force of their power.
As parental figures to Auras, Nephele play a crucial role in safeguarding and supporting the weaker spirits.

However, if betrayed, they can transform into formidable adversaries, utilizing their considerable abilities to defend those they care for.

Some Pyrophae attempt to blend in with humans and possess typical human colors, excluding the rare green and blue eyes. On the other hand, those who fully embrace their fiery essence have flaming hair and eyes that glow with a passionate and fierce flame, leaving no doubt about their nature.
Fiesty and intensely passionate, Pyrophae possess an unbridled fervor that can sometimes be overwhelming. Their desire to help and their fierce nature can lead to unintended destruction, as their actions are often guided by their emotions rather than careful consideration. Their short temper and propensity for sudden outbursts create an uneasy atmosphere among other nature spirits who find them intimidating.

Their ethereal beauty is marked by greenish veins, clear skin, and hair that mirrors the captivating plants they inhabit. Beyond their charming appearances, Nymphs possess a natural allure that makes them incredibly captivating to those around them. However, their childlike facade hides an innate understanding and wisdom, which they employ with care and caution.
As some of the rarest nature spirits, Nymphs exude an aura of charm and beauty wherever they appear. Their mere presence turns heads, and they effortlessly draw attention to themselves.
Though more curious than aggressive, Nymphs can be unintentionally manipulative. Their childlike innocence and kind intentions sometimes lead others to be swayed by their words and actions.

Dwarves
Flame Dwarves
Flame dwarves, distinguished by their fiery and vibrant appearance, are typically adorned with long braided beards and hair in shades of ginger, blonde, or brown. Their time spent in the volcanoes has left its mark, giving them darker skin than their counterparts. Despite the searing heat of their volcanic homes, they prefer warm clothing, showcasing their unique preference for comfort over convention.
Living in the heart of volcanoes, flame dwarves harness the power of these fiery mountains to fuel their forges. This connection to the fire magic imbued in their creations elevates their craftsmanship to wondrous heights, resulting in masterpieces that bear the signature of dwarf excellence combined with the power of elemental flames.
Despite their fiery surroundings, flame dwarves easily forge bonds with other dwarves, even amid the typical rivalries that exist among their kin. Their warm and accommodating nature makes them natural mediators within dwarf society, and their ability to bridge gaps in communication is a valuable asset.
Flame dwarves are known for their open and welcoming approach to strangers, going above and beyond to care for and provide hospitality to newcomers. This friendly and altruistic demeanor, however, sets them apart from their more traditionally greedy and selfish dwarf brethren, leading to occasional scorn from other dwarves.
As a Flame Dwarf, your abilities are enhanced by the following traits:

Heated Adaptability: Due to your time spent in the volcanic environment, you are resistant to fire damage, offering you protection against the intense heat that surrounds you.

Warrior dwarves
Warrior dwarves, with their diverse range of colors and well-groomed beards, exude a rugged and formidable appearance. Typically possessing grey or amber eyes, their lighter skin reflects the limited exposure to sunlight within the cold, steep mountains they call home. To combat the freezing temperatures, they don furs, hides, and layers, showcasing their adaptability and resilience in harsh climates.
Inhabiting the cold and treacherous mountains, warrior dwarves place a heavy emphasis on defending their strongholds from potential threats. Their craft, though secondary to their warrior prowess, is still an essential part of their culture, contributing to the practicality and strength of their armaments and armor.
The legends about warrior dwarves growing to the size of lions are more than mere tales; they hold true. In reality, warrior dwarves can indeed reach such formidable size, and their reputation as indomitable fighters in every battle is well-earned.
The warrior dwarves’ devotion to their clan is unwavering, with a primary focus on protecting their fellow dwarves, especially the women and children. Their willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the survival of their clan fosters a tight-knit and loyal society bound by shared values and camaraderie.

Their hair colors span the entire range of possibilities, as do their eyes, with purple being common, while the rarest eyes shimmer like white diamonds, signifying great significance in their hierarchy. Their skin always appears clear, and their beards exude an exquisite beauty that captivates those who behold them. The reason behind their crystalline allure remains a mystery, a unique and enchanting characteristic that truly makes them stand out in any gathering.
Crystal dwarves hold their eyes in high regard, for they are believed to possess the power to perceive magic in its purest form. With their crystal-clear vision, they can discern arcane energies and unravel the secrets of the mystical world, making their abilities a valuable tool in various situations.
Residing in the depths of deep mines, crystal dwarves often interact and mingle with other dwarves, expressing a genuine joy in meeting new people.

Under Dwarves
Under dwarves, akin to the Raven Elves among dwarves, possess a color spectrum of striking diversity, showcasing hair colors that range from white to black and skin tones in various shades of greyish purple or grey. However, their appearance only becomes evident in old age, and as such, they tend to be beardless or have short beards, as they do not place as much value on facial hair as their other dwarven counterparts. Their eyes exhibit the full spectrum of colors, adding to their enigmatic allure.
Despite dwelling in cold mountains, under dwarves have a peculiar preference for light clothes, making them unique among mountain-dwelling races. This contrast between their clothing choices and environment is a characteristic that further sets them apart.
Under dwarves are rumored to possess incredible healing abilities, and though it may have been exaggerated in legend, they indeed possess a talent for medicine and healing. They can cure minor wounds, making them proficient healers within their communities.
More inclined toward intellect than physical prowess, under dwarves share similarities with snow elves, emphasizing their role as healers and intellectuals. Their technological advancements and wondrous forges are celebrated among dwarves, producing marvelous armors, weapons, and magical items that are highly sought after.
Under Dwarves
Preferencing deep, dark caves that provide the perfect setting for their bright and enormous forges, under dwarves are responsible for crafting some of the finest weapons, armor, and items in their society, showcasing their unmatched craftsmanship.

Fiends
Subbuci
Subbuci, as the embodiment of the sin of lust, delight in causing sexual corruption and ensnaring others in their allure. They are adept at disguising themselves as various fiends, particularly devils, using their cunning and charm to manipulate and deceive those they encounter. In their true form, they appear as humans with bat-like wings, serving an aesthetic purpose, a forked tail, and two horns of various shapes. Despite the differences between subbuci and devils, humans often mistake them for the latter due to their cunning disguises.
While they reside somewhere between devils and demons, subbuci avoid getting involved in the conflicts between these factions, as they are solely focused on fulfilling their lustful desires. Their hedonistic pursuit knows no bounds, and they are willing to engage in any means necessary to achieve their goals.
Subbuci possess the ability to invade minds and dreams, seeking to corrupt the thoughts and desires of their targets. While not all subbuci can directly walk in dreams, the more beings they corrupt, the more powerful they become, making them independent entities belonging to no particular group or hierarchy.
As a Subbuci, your abilities are enhanced by the following traits:
Ability Score Increase: Your dexterity (DEX) score increases by 1, reflecting your agility and grace, and your charisma (CHAR) score increases by 2, showcasing your captivating allure and charm.
Mind Invasion: Once per long rest, you can cast the suggestion spell, utilizing your ability to influence the minds and desires of others.
Speed: You have a walking speed of 30 feet, allowing you to move swiftly and gracefully.

Size: As a Subbuci, you are a medium-sized creature, blending in with other humanoids.
Shielded Mind: You possess advantage against charming spells and resistance to psychic damage, reflecting your resistance to external manipulation and your innate strength of mind.
Cambion (zemian version)
Zemian Cambions
While sharing the same orgin, Cambions in Zemia aren’t always evil, some ususally try to be Subbuci, while others are ashamed
Cambions, born from the union of humanoids and subbuci, bear a unique heritage that allows them to conceal their human side and attempt to pass off as subbuci. However, this guise is often flawed, as they lack certain distinctive traits, such as wings and the ability to walk in dreams. This creates a sense of identity crisis, leading to subbuci look-alikes who struggle to find their purpose in life. Nevertheless, cambions have the potential to embrace goodness, as extended stays in the mortal plane can lead them away from their inherent evil tendencies. While many cambions form secretive organizations, some manage to resist the allure of darkness entirely.
Spending prolonged periods in the mortal realm can gradually erode the evil aspects of cambions, leading to transformations into more benevolent beings. While humanoid parents may find relief in this change, subbuci often view it as a disappointment, considering it a betrayal of their heritage.
On the other hand, if raised by subbuci, cambions become twisted and malevolent beings, fully embracing their inherent evil tendencies and setting themselves on a path of corruption. Such actions inevitably bring about their punishment, as they face the wrath of the Oja, the abyss, where mortal souls endure the consequences of their misdeeds.
As a Cambion, your abilities are enhanced by the following traits:
Ability Score Increase: Your charisma (CHAR) score increases by 2, representing your allure and charm, and your dexterity (DEX) score increases by 1, reflecting your agility and grace.

Darkvision: Your lineage grants you darkvision, allowing you to see in dim light conditions and darkness up to a distance of 60 feet.
Size: As a Cambion, you belong to the medium size category, similar to other humanoids.
Alignment: Cambions tend to lean toward neutral evil or neutral alignment, reflecting their inherent struggles between darkness and the potential for redemption.
Condemned
The souls of the wicked condemned to the depths of the Oja suffer excruciating torture in the pits of the abyss. Some of these tormented souls manage to escape their eternal torment, returning to the mortal plane to inflict havoc once more. Condemned souls appear exactly as they did in their past lives, except for the presence of scars and a reddish tint in their eyes. The condemned on the mortal plane are adept at concealing their true nature, hiding their wicked past to operate undetected among the living.
Devils relentlessly hunt down condemned souls, seeking to bring them back to the abyss to face their eternal punishment. However, if a condemned soul manages to defeat a devil, the devils would no longer pursue them, granting them the freedom they yearn for. Walking freely once more is their dream, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve it.
While many condemned souls may pretend to have changed their ways, the transformation is often a facade, merely a guise to further their sinister intentions. However, some genuinely experience a change of heart, turning to a new leaf and seeking redemption for their past misdeeds. Though rare, these condemned souls do exist, but the likelihood of encountering one is slim.
