The Races of Lazaron

Lazaron is a place of opportunity and offers all its citizens the chance at prosperity. A land that is fertile and uncorrupted by the Rift, it suffers only the wandering 'Rift Spawn'. Ample food and resources provide the foundation for a thriving community of high intellect and organized society.

The races of Lazaron all live in relative peace and understanding of one another. They cooperate, trade, and look to build their lands into not just the great kingdoms of past, but to grow strong as a people. Realizing their weakness after the Chaos Wars, the people of Lazaron have taken a new interest in training great warriors and wielders of magic. As always, the trade folk are the backbone of their world and their economy and are highly regarded.

There is currently no war in Lazaron, though in the past, Estates that were coming into power were known to skirmish over territory or a specific right to a resource. Dwarves were also known to cause great havoc with their Clan Wars, but this was a practice that was dissolved and they now unite under one large banner of truce. PvP is restricted in Lazaron. If you attack someone without cause, you will obtain Villain Points. Please see PvP for more information.

Each race of Lazaron has its place and purpose. Each has its contribution to the place as a whole. They all have their own personalities and those are quite noticeably displayed in their hometown architecture. Examine the races closely and take note that your choice of race will also affect what class you can choose. Explore the classes to make sure that the race you pick supports the class you wish to play.

Mountain Dwarf

Appearance: Mountain Dwarves have thick hair on their head, eyebrows, and face. They are generally very stocky and strong, and vary from three feet to four feet five inches tall. They have very broad features and the women have facial hair as well. Skin tones are from pale to dark brown. Hair colors are generally shades of black and brown, but occasionally shades of red and blonde as well.

About their Home: Mountain Dwarves are found in the Kingdom of Lazaron. Their village, Chelsa, is inside Mt. Iceback. The mountain range itself is one of the largest and highest. The top of the range is nothing but ice which led to it being named Mt. Iceback. It is very cold in this region. In addition to being the biggest and highest range, Mt. Iceback is also located very close to the Rift. Though the Mountain Dwarves have inhabited the range for hundreds of years, little exploration has been done to the outside of the mountain. The inside of the mountain has many caverns, underground rivers, and lakes that the dwarves themselves have yet to explore.

More about Mountain Dwarves

Mountain Dwarves live within the deep heart of the mountains in Lazaron. Though small settlements can be found through out Mt. Iceback, the main Dwarven city is Chelsa. They are quite adept at carving stone and forging metal, and are very well known for using their talents to glorify Xaltion. Their deep devotion to this God can be found in everything they do. Huge monuments to Xaltion carved by Dwarven hands dot the lands both forgotten and new that strike awe into all that see them.

As fiercely as they love Xaltion, so do they also love battle. Dwarves in the past were known for forming clans and warring with one another when there was no enemy to pursue. When a threat did arise however, the Dwarves could be seen fighting side by side against it, regardless of clan. Dwarves have since turned away from clans and united under one banner of unity in the hard times of the world when survival is more important than battles over titles and territory.

The dwarves have played key roles in the stability of Lazaron. Through all that has occurred, the dwarves are there to steadfastly rebuild. They hold much weight on their broad shoulders and though viewed by many of the races in Lazaron as being selfish, stubborn, and difficult, the Dwarves have always given blood and steel to any cause that would protect the whole of the land.

Pixie

Appearance: Pixies are very colorful creatures. They are extremely tiny, ranging from one foot five inches to about two feet tall but in recent years since being discovered Xaltoria, they are starting to be found larger and have been seen up to 3.5 feet tall. There is a case of one being nearly 4 feet tall but for the most part they are the smallest race on Xaltoria. They have wings that vary in shape and color. Their skin and hair can be any color of the rainbow.

About their Home: Pixies live in Avendae, an extraordinary village located in the southwestern part of Lazaron near the small Fae mountain range. Having their own special way with nature, the Pixies live in giant mushrooms they grow with magical means. Their dwellings are so small that only gnomes and dwarves can fit into their dwellings. They really have no urge to travel far out of their homeland.

Personality: Other races describe them as colorful, gentle, sweet, mischievous, energetic, strange, unique, graceful, honorable.

Professions Pixies do well as: Pixies do well as Rogues, Enchanters, Summoners and Druids. Pixies can choose to be an Armsman, Commoner, Enchanter, Summoner, Rogue, Druid or Ranger.

General Observations: Pixies are gentle creatures for the most part unless their homeland is threatened. They are very small but extremely agile and quick and can be nearly impossible to hit if they train properly. They are one of the most powerful races in the magical arts. They also have a quaint relationship with nature which includes plants and animals. The Pixies are one of the three Fae races in Lazaron.

Available Classes


Armsman, Commoner, Enchanter, Summoner, Rogue, Druid or Ranger

More about Pixies

Pixies are a unique race in Lazaron. Very small, colorful creatures with wings and appetites that never seem to be sated. Pixies live in an enchanted, magical part of the Xaltion’s Glade known as Misty Veil in their quaint little town called Avendae. Both the Pixies and the Having appeared in the world after the Rending, Pixies and Misty Veil were thought to have been some how created by the strange energies released during the near end of the world.

Little is known about the Pixie’s past, as having a conversation with one is much like running in circles until you’re so dizzy you can’t even hear straight. Eventually all conversation returns to that of food or fun. Avendae was the site of much carnage during the Chaos Wars, but even after all the bloodshed and horror that took place there, the little village and the Pixies both appear undaunted by what they endured.

Pixies have extraordinary magical powers, although due to their natural child like nature, they find no real joy in using their magic for anything but fun, pranks, and making better candy. Some of the most wondrous food and pastries come from Avendae. Though they are not known for their fighting abilities, the Pixies are in no danger thanks to the Mountain Dwarves, which have strangely taken the small creatures to heart. The Dwarves as much as they may grumble about the Pixies, are always found in and around Avendae adding to the defenses they have already built for the them.

Sprite

Appearance: Sprites, like their Pixie cousins, are very colorful. They are not short like the Pixies, however, and instead are rather tall and slender. Sprites generally range from five feet to six feet tall when full grown. Sprites have skin color that varies but mostly revolves around earth tones. Their hair reflects these colors as well.

About their Home: Sprites are found in the southeast region of Lazaron. Located in the middle of Parotai's Forest, you will find a delicately crafted collection of huts and structures they call Desta. Sprites, like Pixies, are very connected with the forest and nature on a close and personal level, and because of this, make excellent Summoners. This is also reflected in their homes which are generally made with conventional materials, but are made to blend into the environment so well as to be almost invisible.

Personality: Other races describe them as colorful, quiet, reclusive, mysterious.

Professions Sprites do well as: Sprites do well as Druids, Rangers and Summoners. Sprites can choose to be a Ranger, Druid, Armsman, Commoner, Enchanter or Summoner.

General Observations: The Sprites keep very much to themselves. Known for being extremely quiet, this is only true when around other races. When amongst their own, sprites are very social and energetic creatures. Sprites are more comfortable with the land and nature than with other intelligent creatures. This is reflected in their tendency to avoid of the rest of the world.

Available Classes


Ranger, Druid, Armsman, Commoner, Enchanter or Summoner

More about Sprites

Sprites are known through out Lazaron as extremely aloof and distant creatures. Rarely seen out of their village of Desta, Sprites can most often be found in the thick forest that surrounds their home called Parotai’s Forest. The Sprites suffered greatly during the Chaos Wars, but do to their respect for the cycle of life, they have not grown bitter or fearful from their loss. Sprites are generally representative of different elements of earth, known to have every shade of green, gray, brown, and even blue hair and skin.

Because of their extreme attachment to the Elements, they are well known to be excellent Summoners and Druids. Avoiding conflict unless absolutely necessary, Sprites spend the majority of their time healing the woods and forest of Parotai from the corruption of the Rift. As quite and distant as they may be, none will ever forget the role the Sprites played in the survival of all of Lazaron during the Chaos Wars. Having an extreme command over Elemental magic, they are able to create a Magical barrier that was used during the Wars to hold back the pressing Karattan Horde.

Like the Pixies, the Sprites did not appear in the world until after the Rending. Many believe that much like their small winged cousins, the Sprites were somehow created by the strange magical currents that swept through the land during that chaotic and deadly time. The Sprites have only ever commented that they had always been there and that everyone else in Lazaron are the newcomers. It may never be known exactly where they came from, but many believe without the help of the Sprites, all would have been lost in the Chaos Wars.
