Races of Velmora
Six races shaped by gods, war, and ancient magic — each with their own story to tell.
The world of Velmora is home to six distinct races, each forged by divine will, shaped by catastrophe, and tempered through centuries of conflict and survival. From the adaptable Humans who rose from the ruins of fallen empires to the cursed Velmorn who walk the line between life and death, every race carries a unique legacy that defines their place in this ever-changing world.
Humans
The Enduring Ones
Versatile and ambitious, Humans have spread across every biome in Velmora. They rose from humble beginnings to build thriving kingdoms by absorbing the knowledge of fallen empires and forging alliances with every race they encountered.
Drakthar
The Blood of the Frostborn
Forged from stone and storm by the gods of nature and sky, the Drakthar are powerful warriors who thrive in the harshest frozen wilderness. Legend tells of a frost dragon whose blood forever changed their kind.
Zaryn
The Arcane-Blooded
Descendants of the fallen Aetherion Empire, the Zaryn are born with arcane energy flowing through their veins. They rule a floating magical dominion and dedicate their lives to mastering magic without repeating their ancestors' catastrophic mistakes.
Velmorn
Cursed Descendants of Aetherion Ambition
Bearing the curse of corrupted magic in their blood, the Velmorn exist between the living world and the Veil. Their society is divided between those who seek redemption and those who embrace the dark power their curse provides.
Vashari
The Children of the Burning Sky
A proud desert people forged by fire and hardship, the Vashari draw strength from Solmara's blessing. Their culture embraces trial and honor, believing that only through enduring the harshest flames can the soul be tempered.
Dwarfs
The Stoneforged People
Masters of the forge and mountain strongholds, Dwarfs measure their worth by the legacy they leave behind. Their rune-etched weapons and impenetrable fortresses are legendary throughout Velmora.
