Races & Species

There are a wide variety of difference races and species on the Borrowed Land, from humans and humanoid species to beings that don't even have corporeal form.

Humans

Humans were introduced to the Borrowed Land via the generation ships which brought them from Earth about a thousand years prior to the present day. Humans are one of the more populous races on the planet, and though most don't have a natural affinity for magic those descended from Ember are capable of using it.

Elves / Dwarves / Gnomes

These races were created upon the development of the Borrowed Land by HER. They are essentially humans, but differently sized and shaped and have latent, natural capability for magic.

Fairies

Fairies are another race created by HER. Fairies are fairly small, sized between a few inches up to about a foot in height, and usually have wings. Fairies can fly through the "clap and fling" mechanism, enabling them to fly for small distances while not using much energy. Different species of fairy, for example Pixie, Nixie etc, have different affinities, racial traits and features.

Golems

Golems are beings created from different materials that are usually compelled to perform a specific task or series of tasks. After their task has finished, golems retain a level of consciousness and autonomy that enables their ability to make independent decisions.

Dragons

Dragons are by and large intelligent beings with capacity for speech and communication, but they are such solitary creatures that they rarely exhibit more intelligence than dogs or pigs.
