Vaarae

The Vaarae (pronounced Ver-Ay) are race of humanoid beings that inhabit the continent of Rathnir. They originate from the Syltör region though can now be found all over Rathnir and a minority in Eldham. The Vaarae have had a long history of violence due to their innate abilities. A common Elvish tradition was to hunt Vaarae and drink their Golden Blood. Many people believe that Varean Blood is Magical and can bestow the user with Varean Magic. In reality, drinking Varean Blood corrupts the soul and, although they bestow magical powers, gain the ability to cast Dark Magic (known as Zabron Magik in The Varean Tongue).

Varean Physiology
Varean Physiology is very similar to Human or Elven. They are usually slightly taller than Humans or Elves and their ears, although pointy, are more rounded and not as prominent as Elven ears. Their skin tone and eye colours depend on the Gender and are: Light Blue, Dark Blue, Pink and Lilac.

Varean Gender
Varean Gender is a lot more unique than Human gender. First of all, Vareans are born genderless and by 1 Year Old (Vareans age a lot quicker than Humans, 1 year is close to 7 years in Humans) are given the choice as what gender they wish to be. Then, they perform a ritual which transforms them into their chosen gender for life and turning their grey skin into the colour of their gender. If they do not choose a gender, they will die after 2 years. Similar to Niedene, they have 4 Sexes. They are: Davaen (Strong and Tough Male), Zryaus (Weak, but agile and quick-witted Male), Dealia ( Beautiful and Charming Female) and Zevara (Intelligent and Cunning Female).

Davaen
Davaen is indisputably the most popular gender. They have Dark Blue skin and Amber or White eyes (White is a lot rarer, however). The nearest Human equivalent to Davaen is a typical Male. Davaen are very strong and have incredibly tough skin and bones. They typically wear fur and leather clothing. Their Magic mostly consists of very Physical Magic. Davaen can only breed with Dealia or Zevara.

Zryaus
Zryaus is by far the least popular gender. This is mostly due to Zryaus often being frowned upon and called "The Weakest Gender". Some people even go as far as harassing and discriminating Zryaus. Zryaus are a lot weaker than Davaen though they are a lot more agile. They are also know to be extremely intelligent and quick-witted. Most Varean Scholars are Zryaus. Zryaus typically wear cloaks and trench coats
