4/6


JaephemAlso Known As: CopycatsAppearance: Jaephem look the way Jaephem want to

look. Dark or fair, long or short hair, blue or black eyes, it isall the matter of a whim. And usually they change theirappearance every few minutes, to match their mood.

Architecture:Arts & Entertainment:Calendar:Crime & Legal SystemDaily Life: Jaephem are very open, social race. As they

are very much ruled by moods, though, they are sometimeshard to get along with, especially when they lose their tempers,and start changing visage every second. But they are quick toforget, and rarely remain angry long enough to get aggressive.Jaephem love witty company and good jokes.

Diet & Eating Customs:Fashion & Dress: They tend to wear practical clothes

in neutral tones, and no jewelry, as even they have no ideawhat will suit them the next minute.

Foreign Relations: Jaephem are very social, they likebeing in diverse, and amusing companies, since they keep theirmood steady, and good. It is other races that have a problemwith Jaephem, as their all the time changing visage creepsmany. Generally, Jaephem stick to big cities, or villages, andare likely to be seen in any company ready to have them.

Favored Classes:Government: Jaephem fail to fully perceive the

importance of hierarchy, especially when it doesn't suit theirmood. As they are so unpredictable, societies they live ingenerally tend to not trust them with any positions of power.

Young Jaephem revere the old ones though, and more oftenthan not listen to their counsels and are ready to do theirbidding.

Magic & TechnologyMedicinePhilosophy:Population: Jaephem live up to 200 years. Whether

they age normally or not, nobody knows, since whether theylook young or old is all the matter of decision. One thing thatchanges with age, though, is their temper. It becomes graduallycalmer, and more predictable, by the end of their lives theyeven settle on one visage... for most of the time, at least.



5/6


LycanthropesAlso Known As: WerewolvesAppearance: These proud protectors of life spend most

time in their Human form. When they take their normal form,they have a wolf's head, clawed hands and feet, fur coveredbody and a tail. Their fur has the same color as their hair and

their eyes are golden or blue.Architecture:Arts & Entertainment:Calendar:Crime & Legal SystemDaily Life: Most Lycanthropes stay true to their noble

cause and follow a path of virtue, but some stray and infectHumans in order to gain followers for their own agendas.When enraged, only a few can stop them and not without greateffort and maybe the loss of a limb or two.

Diet & Eating Customs:Fashion & Dress:Foreign Relations: Either living as Humans in cities or

roaming the wilderness in their true forms, Lycanthropes haveto interact with other races in order to keep Mithbar free fromevil-doers. They are friendly to most, but go berserk when theyspot a Daegraw.

Favored Classes:Government: A council of Elders that guides the Alpha

is the core of Lycanthrope hierarchy. Any male or female canclaim a place in it, as long as they have killed or captured aDaegraw and have not infected any Humans. Those who have,are considered tainted and lower than those they infected.

Magic & TechnologyMedicine

Philosophy:Population: They live for 200 years. If born a

Lycanthrope, they age normally till they reach 50 and thenremain the same. If infected, they retain the looks they had atthe point of infection. In their wolf form, as they grow older,silver fur replaces the old one.



6/6


SatyrsAlso Known As: Goats, Stags, TailchasersAppearance: While male Satyrs look like a hybrid

between Human and ram or deer, female ones look less likeanimals as they don't have the legs of an animals and generallyhave smaller horns on their forehead. Male Satyrs like to grow

beards.Architecture: Satyrs seem to go by where I lay my

head is home so they do not build houses of any sort. Or atleast thats what most people think. In truth, Satyrs are masterbuilders when it comes to shelters that are easy to get up, easyto hide, easy to carry and easy to pack when the time arrives tomove.

Arts & Entertainment:Calendar:Crime & Legal SystemDaily Life: Passionate at everything they do, Satyrs

can be joyful or grumpy, forgetful or vindictive. Sometimesthey have one drink too many and can cause trouble but mostof the time they just wander in the woods having fun. Neverones to shy away from carnal pleasures or anything that wouldmake most blush.

Diet & Eating Customs:Fashion & Dress:Foreign Relations: Living in pairs, Satyrs won't

actually look for the company of others but when they smell afestivity, they are among the first to join and contribute, asmost are good musicians. They dislike order and steer clear ofplaces with a strict set of rules.

Favored Classes:Government: Due to their complete disregard of rules,

not even the Cuerryn are able to stand Satyrs around for long.Thus they remain without any form of hierarchy, adopted ornot and they prefer it that way. In the rare occasion more thantwo pairs of Satyrs gather, there still is no hierarchy.

Magic & TechnologyMedicinePhilosophy: It is no secret Satyrs have no love for

rules, so Chaos aligned orders are first in their list ofpreference. Life ones come close second, as do Nature alignedorders. Might and Order ones are last and few Satyrs would becaught claiming allegiance to the latter.

Population: Usually living up to the age of 150, Satyrsgrow more gentle as time passes by. Their horns grow till theydie and their fur and hair turns gray. They age at a reducedrate, but not much slower than Humans. When over 120, theylose the ability to shapeshift.
