Races & Body Types
The Arcanus species consists of four races and four body types. Mixed races and body types are common within the Arcanus species — these four are the base archetypes, not strict categories.
The Four Races
Northern
Known for its unique facial features. More commonly seen than the Western race, but rarer than the Southern and Eastern races.
· Bulky body type: muscular build, tall.
Western
Distinguished by a short-muzzled, boxy face shape. The rarest of the four races, due to a historic massacre in the west and subsequent mixing of races.
· Dragon body type: longer torso, smaller frame, short legs.
Southern
Along with the Eastern race, the most commonly seen. Has a canine-like, angular face shape.
· Classic body type: average length, average build.
Eastern
Often called the "royal race," as the first king was pureblood Eastern. Has a long, slim, elegant face shape.
· Royal body type: very tall, long legs.
