Alatharya

After many centuries of dominating every facet of the realm, the alatharya have truly declined in influence. In the wake of challenging the Overgods, the First Race was cast down in its hubris by the heavens. The ensuing cataclysm, known as the Sundering, radically changed the face of the land and destroyed the legendary power of the alatharya. Afterward, the shattered race was stripped of their peerless mental capabilities. However, their physical strength and durability remained, left as a reminder of what they had lost.

Racial Gods

The alatharya appear as enormous humans, with silvery skin and flowing white hair. A typical alatharya averages nine feet tall, with a broad chest and heavily muscled limbs. This girth gives them at least some resistance to physical blows and allows them to heft some two-handed weapons in a single hand. Their strength comes at the price of grace, leaving most alatharya slow and lumbering. Their eyesight remains as keen as ever, allowing them to see farther than most others.

Example Descriptions

Below are sample descriptions from NPCs and past player characters. These descriptions are for reference only; you should not use them for your characters.

Emandore, Barbarian

A tall woman stands here, clad in a motley assortment of things. Her extremely tall stature and pale, silvery skin clearly mark her as an Alatharya, though her grey eyes betray an unusual intelligence for her kind. Her hair is a clean, shiny white, and is bound in a thick braid that hangs to midway down her back. As if chiseled out of rock, her face is angular and hard-edged, and her jaw is almost masculine. A series of scars mark the left side of her face, and a nasty pale line that looks to have been caused by a large blade mars the skin across her neck. She moves with strength, and purpose, but a lack of confidence betrays itself in the hesitancy of her movements.
