Description

Nirond (also Nyrond or Nyrondi) are a dusky skinned race that range widely in height, weight, features and body types.  They are a melange of every race in the world with all traits and atavistic traits possible; the only common denominator among all them is their dusky skin, which all Nirdoni have, regardless of their heritage or traits.

Short History

Nirond are a melange race of everyone else from Vaen to Orok-Gorn.  They are most numerous in the North, Lowlands and Shattered Kingdoms areas.  The core of what would become the Nirond migrated from the south, past the Great Anvil of Sand from near the angry waters of the Flame Scorched Ocean. Those peoples eventually came to Landolai.  The Nirondi dwelt there and lived with their internal squabbles and wars until the Aile arrived and seized a large chunk of the north region.

Game Data

Melange Race — Nirond have roots in every race and can pick two race characteristics from any other race to represent their heritage.   Additionally, this mixed heritage means Nirond can ignore the racial limitations on magic items, classes, effects, and so (e.g., only works on Elves) for two races as well (declared at racial start).  This can be reversed to ignore the effects of slaying weapons and similar items, events or effects as well (e.g., dragonslaying).

Final Legacy of Azok - Before laying down to an eternal sleep to endlessly grapple with the Goddess of Dark Dreams Itzlotl to keep her for consuming the world, Azok sighed.  The air of his lungs traveled the world and blessed the line of beings he had grown to love.  To each children, a small portion of his gold-turning breath made them forever dusky, so no matter how mixed or far away their line was from that moment, they would eternally bear his mark.  The other, second and final gift was a burning line of fiery life that was birthed in the soul and flowered through the body.  Nirond have a deep well of life force that cannot be quelled or damage and they grow, heal, and mend quickly and well.
