I mentioned I have an idea for new race to KOVAV and he sead to post it here. So this is it. It is meant as NPC races. I have some ideas how will they impact the game and players. Name: Xeni Homeland: Frozen Island of Terror Nation: Xeni collective Goverment/Leader: Assembly of the Old God: Raknol Abotu Xeni Xeni are the most ancient race of the world. They leve on the Frozen Islands of Terror far on the frozen north. Xeni are of one nation never disunited and nevere have they left their island. It is prohibited by the most sacred law and punishable by death in the fire of Raknol. They can only go of the island when the age of Return comes. Other races know little about this ancient and proud race. This is because Xeni are very suspicious of strangers of other races. No one hase seen their faces ore their body. They are always in the dark robes covered from from head to toe. When covered they are almost three meters high, but it is unknown if they are really that tall or is something else lurking beneath. There language is still not understandable to other races even though Xeni have no problem to understand and speak other languages of other races. The oldest of them do not speak individually they speak through The Voice. About the Island Although the the island is surrounded by the sea no one remember a time when those seas did not been cover in ice. The only access to the island is on foot but thet is a problem in itself. Winds and snow storms raging all day so that anyone who goes to the island is lost forever. Only way to the island is across the ice through the western pass because for some reason storms do not rage there. This is the reason why did it get the name Terror. Because so meny lives were lost. Nation and Goverment Xeni collective have five cities. One on each side of the island and the last in the very heart of the island. The city in the north is called Aven. It is located in the mountains and is the primary mining town for "crystals of life". The city in the west is called Manl. It is located on the entrance to the island and it is used as a control point. The city in the east is called Xi it is the primary hunting area that which supplies entire nation of meat. The city in the south is called Ral and it is a place where young warriors are trained. The last city is called Raknol by their God. It is the seat of power of the Xeni where the Assembly of the Old reside. In the great hall the fire of Raknol burn. Assembly of the Old consists of the most oldest Xeni who decide on every aspect of life. How many will be born and in what city, what will be built, what will be destroyed. They do not speak because they have evolved so that they speak with their mind. This allows them to make quick decisions. When you want to communicate their decision they do so through The Voice, Xeni who is chosen for that position. They send mental images to The Voice and he utters them. Raknol Raknol was a dying God when he found this world with primitive life on it. He then decided to have his revenge on those who have destroyed him. He took a part of his heart, and from it created Xeni. He then taught the new race many secrets of the universe then he gave them laws and science. In that time he sead that he will return one thay and that the age of Return will come. When the last word was spoken he started to burn and Xeni in all there knowledge captured the flame and set it in the great hall and so created the fire of Raknol that which can never be extinguished. Or so the legend says

...Frozen Islands...of...Terror..? Seriously? ....so it's basically a isolationist, npc race that nobody is going to interact with...at all?
There is a way to get there. It is all written in the text.
sounds interesting.......
Uhmm, well, it is definitely possible, but I think some things would have to be modified but I guess such a discussion comes later. Islands... Of TERROR. There is some thing I do not like, but I DO like the story about their god.
