Ickin

= The Ickin = Ickin is a humanoid race of little population that originated from Tortuga, they have noticable red (or rarely magenta) skin, fast heartbeat and are quite short compared to other races, they have said to have been born from the blood of a giant dragon named Igg that sacrificed itself to give life to Rathnir, but most likely they were probobly made through mutations and human cross-breeding with other races. The Ickin don't usualy dabble a lot in religion, war or the arcane, rather try to influence the world using politics, agriculture and research, altough they do have a lot of stories relating to such things such as the mentioned story of Igg, but these are known not to be real.

Origins:
The origins of the Ickin is vague, what we do know is that they originated from Tortuga, traveling from village to village, but have now split, some having appeared in Uldarash and Tatsuhosho. There are stories about how the Ickin came to Rathnir such as the story of Igg and other small ones, but that's the main one. Those are only stories though, from the looks of it, they might have come from cross breeding between humans and other races in order to recieve such changes in their biology.

Biology:
The Ickin have blood red skin sometimes inbetween blood red and magenta, fast heartbeat and have an avarage height of 134.5cm (4.7in). Most of their bodies have been concentrated into their minds, looks and immune system rather than muscle and certain organs, making them pretty fragile to physical damage, but quite resistent to illness.

Culture:
Usualy The Ickin wear dark collored clothing with small shiny details like gold, bronze and various gems. Their folklore is also vast including several creatures and figures, such as a griffin-like animal called a Vragvald that live in hallowed trees, snails that feed off knowledge and of course Igg, the dragon that gave have been said to give life to the world. Altough pretty much everyone knows that none of these are real and are just tales to tell their children, but we can't be sure can we?
