Miatallan
~~~~~~~~~~
Basically, a Miatallan, or Mita, is a dragon. Its features are more sleek and streamlined than those of classic dragons seen in Dungeons and Dragons and the like. Their scales range in color from almost black to silver, and every color in between. They're very artistic people, and they are much more into music and craft than they are in territory or war.
They take on a humanoid form, with dark brown shades of skin and light hair ranging from sky blue to bright white. Their eyes are metallic, and can be copper, gold, silver, or even rust-colored.
Longevity- Most Miatallans live to be somewhere around 300, slowing their physical aging at about 25. A Miatallan at age 280 is somewhat like a human at age 80.
Size- Dragon form reaches almost 20 feet at adulthood. They continue to grow at a slowed rate for the rest of their lives. In their human form they average out at around 6 feet, a couple inches taller than normal humans.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Truitasans
Truitasans are fae. Really. Just human-sized fae. There's little more to it. They have vibrant hair colors, skin in any color of the rainbow, and brilliant gossamer wings.
Truitasans adore revelry and festivity, and so their culture is rich in music and tradition. They have several celebrations to thank their boundless plenty granted by the fertile volcanic soil. Men and women traditionally wear gold ring earrings and bangles. Children are often dressed androgynously, to promote a healthy playtime manner and discourage gender discrimination. Still, grown women love to flaunt their sexuality and doll themselves up to attract men.
Truitasans mainly speak Mitanese, and a few isolated islands speak Qii.
Longevity- Truitasans live to be about 200 years old, aging slowly past age 10.
Human-sized, if maybe on average an inch or two smaller.

Akoriats
Akoriats are the race of humanoids that dwell on the island of Akori. They are human, in almost all respects, with some major differences as far as immunities, physical capabilities, and looks. There are a few different types of Akoriat, and they're distinctly different compared to one another.
All Akoriats possess the ability to survive for up to five minutes without use of their circulatory system. Most major viruses and illnesses are ineffective to them and they are immune to most poisons, such as cyanide and arsenic.
Central
A central Akoriat is named for the fact that this sub-race can only live within the light of the Black Sun. White light from the two suns of Yyestalla is fatal to their nervous systems and can be seen in hints along the outer mountain areas of the island. Hence, they live in the central areas of Akori.
Central Akoriats have skin in shades of dark grey. Their hair is typically purplish-grey to white. Their eyes are black, with no real pupils to be spoken of, at least looking at them, anyway. They're normal human sizes and live a few years shorter on average than humans.
Highland
Highland Akoriats are immune to white light due to a thin, transparent eyelid that slides across the eyes when exposed to white light. They aren't as strong as Central Akoriats, however, and suffer genetic problems much more often than any other Yyestallan race, aside from humans. Highland Akoriats took up a role as a guardian race of Akori, residing along the coast in the rocky hills. The light of the horizon doesn't bother them, so they keep the mountains safe from intruders.
Highland Akoriats have pale grey to pure white skin, varying in transparency. Their hair ranges from reddish brown to pure inky black, with the occasional purple-haired child here and there. Their eyes are either black or brown, shifting in odd iridescent ways when the eyelid is across them. They are normal human size, tending to have less overall body fat than humans, and live up to twenty years shorter than humans on average.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Meiyesta
~~~~~~~~~~
A Meiyesta is a literal cross between a Miatallan and a human, only with the addition of venomous fangs and no alternate form. The society that Meiyestas belong to is tightly knit, with a very strict honor code that can never be broken, on pain of death. The jungles make up their home, and as a result, they are very tribal and ritualistic, with a keen eye for remedies and local botany.
Meiyestallia is run by a monarchy, but heirs to the throne, rather than being chosen one over the other, are known to share the crown.
Longevity- Meiyestas are human in their aging, if maybe a little longer, and with less obvious signs as age progresses. However, child mortality is high due to the dangerous region in which they live.
Size- Meiyestas are tall and well-endowed as far as muscular structure. Average height for an adult Meiyesta is from 6 to 7 feet.
~~~~~~~~~~
Amataran
~~~~~~~~~~
Amatarans are only slightly more evolved than humans, generally just a lot bigger and more bulky. They have bright blonde to sandy brown hair, no darker, and eyes in shades of blue and green.
Longevity- Human, basically.
Size- On average 6-8 feet in height.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ajakali
~~~~~~~~~~
Human. Nuff said.
~~~~~~~~~~
Dwarf
Dwarves are dwarves in name only. They were named so because they were tiny compared to the Miatallans that preceded them in creation, but they are generally human-sized. Most, if not the greater whole of them, live on the Isle of Netra, whose tiny circumfrence and great height could only inhabit the vertical-loving Dwarves.
They live to an average of 700 years, ceasing the aging process at the mid to late teens.
~~~~~~~~~~
Wild
Auburn hair, dull blue eyes. Two dragonfly wings, and shorter, pointed ears.
Qii
Creations of Qii almost directly, born only from Qii blossoms found on Netra. Red to blonde hair, green eyes. Two dragonfly wings, with a distinct mark on each. Longer ears than the Wild dwarf.
Wild Qii
One of a kind creation by Starlai herself as a son. Ten dragonfly wings, bright turquoise eyes, much longer ears, slightly past the back of the head. (pm me for details! this is fun to explain.)
Holy/Artificial Dwarf
Mix-breed or false dwarf, auburn or pink hair with blue eyes.
~~~~~~~
Worrian
Worrians come in dazzling varieties, each so different from the other that it's hard to call them the same class. The only similarity is that they all carry a deep connection to the planet on which they live.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sea
Sea Worrians are ancient, said by legend to have evolved from a chance mating between a Mita and a fish. They have blueish hues to their skin and hair, though they may appear totally human if genetics favor them. Their ears are slightly tipped and angled down, and behind them are a pair of gill slits.
Desert
It's unclear where the term "desert" worrian came from, but these plains-dwelling worrians are indistinguishable from humans at first sight. Try to lift one, however, and you'll find the difference. They're immensely dense, and can weigh almost twice the weight of a human the same size. They come in all human colors and shapes, but they always, without exception have deep blue eyes. They carry the rare trait of being able to transmutate into an animal form consistent with their lineage. However, they were found to be extinct several centuries ago.
Mountain Sage
The real dwarves of Yyestalla, Mountain Sages are small, compact, and jolly people of all colors. Few remain of them, but what few there are have grand popularity among the Irkanian public for their knack with medicine.
Forest
These long-extinct Worrians were nymph-like and graceful, resembling overgrown statues for the most part, and were the yang to the Desert Worrian's yin, having the ability to shape themselves to plant forms. Sadly, their entire population was wiped out by a dreadful combination of fire and blight just a short while before the Desert Worrian capital was destroyed.
~~~~~~~~~~
Irkanian
~~~~~~~~~~
Slightly more evolved than human in an odd way, Irkanians are vibrant and magical things, standing just a little shorter than a human and living on average ten years shorter. They have a strong knack for magic and have been known to access magic that grants one immortality; however, there's never been an account of any Irkanian achieving any actual immortality, and even the ageless ones will die of natural degradation.
~~~~~~~~~~
Amphrell
~~~~~~~~~~
These ice desert nomads are a variation of Amataran that branched off to the northern limits. Their hair is invariably white, and their eyes are either silver or a shade of blue, or in the odd case, gold. Their features are very slender and serpentine, with thin eyes and shallow faces.
Longevity- Human
Size- Average height 6-7 feet
~~~~~~~~~~
Dairellian
~~~~~~~~~~
Dairellians are the slave race that developed from Irkanians that were stolen to southern Amatara. They are dark-skinned, dark haired, and otherwise perfectly human, save for a prominent boost in physical capability and flexibility.
