Humans remain the most adaptable of mortals, yet they appear in several distinct forms. The Trueborn are the native stock, builders of cities and traditions across countless generations. The Curseborn carry ancient afflictions that awaken a beast within, walking the line between control and instinct. The Aasimar bear subtle marks of radiant heritage, embodying mortal flesh touched by light. The Kalashtar are bound to dream-echoes, their minds sharpened by otherworldly resonance while their bodies remain human.

Alongside them stand the Otherworlders, drawn into this realm through summoning, reincarnation, or fate. They bring upheaval, new knowledge, and perspectives that can shift the balance of power. Whether rising as heroes or conquerors, they carry the burden of two lives — the one they left behind, and the new one they now forge.

Trueborns

Trueborns are the cornerstone of civilization, their lives intertwined with history through generations of struggle and triumph. They inherit ancestral legacies, influencing kingdoms and guilds since recorded time. Their knowledge of magic, warfare, and governance comes from experience, earned through gradual progress rather than abrupt change.

Aasimar

Aasimar (pronounced AH-sih-mar) are mortals who carry a spark of the Heavens within their souls. Whether descended from an celestial being or simply infused with celestial power, they can fan that spark to bring light, healing, and heavenly fury. They resemble their parents, but they live for up to 160 years and have features that hint at their celestial heritage, such as metallic freckles, luminous eyes, a halo, or the skin color of an angel (silver, opalescent green, or coppery red). These features start subtle and become obvious when the aasimar learns to reveal their full celestial nature.

Aasimar come in three variants.

Curseborn

Curseborn are humans afflicted with lycanthropy, a transformative curse that binds them to beast form under conditions such as moonlight, emotional stress, or ritual activation. Though feared and misunderstood, the curse is not inherently evil.

Curseborn may live in secrecy, serve as scouts or guardians, or swear oaths to factions that tolerate or exploit their condition. The curse manifests in different strains, each with unique behaviors and triggers.

All are affected by Bloodmoons and supermoons. Even so, they are not mindless—many can speak and reason while transformed, with practice and experience.

Known Lycanthropic Strains:

Lupine Curse – Wolf
Associated with ancestral packs and heightened lunar sensitivity
Tora Curse – Tiger
Linked to guardian spirits and temple-bound bloodlines
Ursan Curse – Bear
Slow to provoke, but physically overwhelming when triggered
Veran Curse – Wild Boar
Territorial and aggressive; often triggered by rage or injury
Tsuru Curse – Giant Crane
Rare and sorrow-bound; transformation often tied to grief or loss
Pardus Curse – Clouded Leopard
Agile and stealthy; passed through bloodline contracts and secluded rites
Chiroptera Curse – Giant Bat
Echolocative; triggered by blood scent, or sonic resonance

Otherworlders

Otherworlders are anomalies from beyond Xalthea, carrying foreign knowledge and abilities. Some rise as heroes, others simply as adventurers.

They arrive in different ways—summoned by magic, intercepted at death and given new life, or reincarnated into new forms (human, demi-human, or even monster). Some retain full memories of their past lives, while others only fragments.

Summons always originate from Earth (real-world).
Characters that are summoned, are “Summoned Without Witness,” meaning they appear in Xalthea without guidance or explanation.
Retaining your old body marks you as an Otherworlder; being born of this world makes you Xalthean.
