The Stars you see are the Major Named cities. The black areas are Fog of War, it won't be revealed to you until you explore it. The map is COMPLETELY remade. Its COMPLETELY unique. Made by myself personally.
Races
Valashen (Ash Bloods) - The Valashen are distant relatives of Vampires. The things that seperate these two are that Valashen resemble the race they branched from except for monsters or 'Primitive Races'. Also, the fangs of the 'Vampires' do not show until they are about to feed or hunger forces them to show. If a Valashen has recently fed, then his/her 'affliction' is impossible to see, but if the longer the person stays away from feeding, their faces grow paler as time passes, and their irises start getting a red tint. If the vampire doesn't feed for over one month, they die of starvation. These can live off of animal blood, though it makes them much weaker and it their eyes turn gold-tinted instead of normal. They are Immortal once they are turned, they are reaged to that of around 20's except when you are turned below that, then you stay.
Oken (Tree Singers) - The Oken are a people of nature. They appear as deer people. They stand as humans with human-ish hands (Furred) but hooved for feet. They have a telepathic link with nature. The males have ornamental antler. They are used for battle and looks for the larger the antler, the older you are, which in turn means the more wisdom you have. The oken are born warirors along with nature. They also have a tendecy to be shamans, are nature users. They are able to be samurais, or warrior of honor. The Oken are spritually intuned with nature, which allows them to talk to them telepathically. Oken naming is that of Natives. (ex: Spiritwalker) The typical lifespan of an Oken is about 200-220 years.
Humans (Jack of All Trades): The humans are a stubborn race. They believe everything to be about themselves. Some humans are fun-loving and kind, but that can be rare. In turn though, they are able to become masters of anything or everything. The humans are also less talented in most things due to that jack of all trade nature. A majik-based race can beat most humans in a magical duel, while a warrior-based race can beat most humans in a brawl. Humans live from 70-100 years at MAX. The human race is also the most varietized of them all. They come in multiple nationalities.
Nationalities
Alwraithian (Body Bags): The Alwraithian humans are a grim nationality. The live near the graveyards of Alwraithia. The wraiths that roam that area have a great influence among these people. The people have pale faces and their eyes have a greyish tint. Many people here are possessed by ghosts, earning this race the nickname "Body Bags". They are sad people and they tend not to really notice things that happen around us. The kings and the guards however, are different stories. The king, Asrath, is a Lich. He has great majikal abilities in his deathly state and he has been ruling for around 15 years now. The guards are possessed by Death Knights, making them great warriors. The people make good Necromancers or Sorcerors. This is not well known because most or posessed.
Dunetarian (Desert Nomads): The Dunetarians are Desert Nomads. They wander the desert and may stop in the town of Dunetaria. They have rough, dark skin due to the constant sunlight and blowing sands. They generally wear scarves and goggles. They usually carry guns, but the guns on Amaranthine are low tech. ( You know, for balance. ) They want around the desert with Kiwafi, sand lizards. They have a natural thingyy attitude and they tend to get themselves killed like that. They are great warriors though, knowing how to communicate well to get their job done. These people live to about 50-60's.
Growthians (Plain Warriors): The growthians as they have become are inhabitants of the plain, The Growth. The people here have fair skin and red or black hair generally. They are great warriors and archers naturally. They have one of the strongest Militia because all the towns in The Growth share the military because they are strongly united people. That is what makes the Growthians a powerful race. They ride Starlits, or star mounts. These can reign from birds to horses to even mules. A starlit is the phyisical animal form of the persons soul, granted by the stars. An old Growthian hero, Aslethia had a pegasus as her starlit, signifying her purity and honor in battle. All starlits, no matter the animal, are of ridable size. The way they look are personalized by the persons imagination.( Anyone that wants to be a Human Growthian, come to me and I will assign you a starlit. It is based on your characters personality. ) They generally become Paladins, Warriors, And Some Majes and Marksmen. These people live to about 60's.
Arcian (Majik Influenced): The Arcen are probably the most majik influenced people of all the human races. They live in the majik blessed area of the Portal Realms. This area is well known for all the portal openings to other Realms. This has drawn in humans for research and curiousity. There is many Arcen in Amaranthine but this area is nothing but majes. Houses are nothing but small libraries with beds and a kitchen. They base their entire like on majik and refuse to leave till they are satisfied. When they believe that are strong enough, they enter the portals to understand what is beyond. A person has never returned from one of these portals. Arcen have jet black hair and deep brown eyes unless they study a specific kind a majik, then they may turn red, purple or gold. These people live to about 80's.
Wastian (The Unwanteds): The Rojian are the sneakiest and most unwanted people in Amantathine. They take homage in the Wastes, a valley where no one else wishes to live, so these people live here, where they are left alone. It is commonly know as 'rogue land'. Only people who were cast away live here in harmony. They live off of the environment, as hard as it may be. They make a living by pickpocketing or carving statuettes from the bone of Urca, or land whales. These people have nowhere left to go, so they tend to fight often. The Wastes have a total of 6 united cities. The Wastian people are of many ethnicities. They can be of any Nationality, but they are generally sneaky, just to survive. It was said that all people that have no home live here. The Unwanteds. They are experts at picking locks, pickpocketing, and assassinating if it may come to it. There is a council to hold it together. These people live to about 60's.
Nortian (Nomad Barbarians): The Northern areas, or Northa, is the coldest places, where the Barbarians live. They are large and live long due to great health, which is necessary to live in the cold weather. They use large weapons, live in tents, and follow the food source. They are constantly moving and hate outsiders. They stand about 6'6'' with great muscles. They are constantly moving, travelling with food, which builds stamina. They have a large tent which is used as the council tent. This is where the many of the tribes would meet for temporary treatys. This is also where they go to drink and eat before marching to war. The Nortians are war crazed. They fight between themselves due to indifferences or loot. That is the way of the Barbarians. These people live to about 50's for reasons of war, not age.

But they have a wide variety of spell they can cast. I will list them now. Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Metal, Wood, Sound, and lastly Shadow. The Manalia are elementals. They're hair is that of their element lore. When a Manalia is born, they are born pale and white headed. This means they have yet to absorb their element of choice. They stay looking like this till the age of 8 ( You notice that is when a boy/girl is of age to be baptized ). This is the age when the child chooses his life and his lore. All the elements are spread out on a table in their respectife forms. Fire as fire, Water as bowl of water, wind is around him and sound is created by him.

Avier ( Bird Smiths ): The Avier are cousin of the BirdMen most of you know and love. These people tend to live in mountains and also have a short temper. They live in caves high up in the mountain peaks. These peaks provide safety as well as solitude. The Avier are master smiths. They create the most delicate and balanced weapons in Amaranthine. The weapons they craft are unique and each are created with hard work. The Avier make great warrior due to their smithy lifestyle, which gives them strong arms. They use the high heights along with the cold air to keep themselves from overheating and their wings make good windblockers. An Avierian myth says that once in a Avier's lifetime, they may create a perfect weapon. These are known as Ashua, or Spirit Weapons. These weapons were made from the heart and soul of an Avier and are meant to perfectly link with another. So after the creation of this weapon, an Avier may quest for years to find the weapons true owner. This is known as the Master Quest. It is rare and very few have found these weapons. Dragons are known to find unsuccessful Avier's and take the weapon to add to their collection. Aviers stand about 6'-7' and live to about 170 years.
Pledgling ( Animal Shapers ): The Pledglings are a race of devotion to nature. As it is obvious, the name pledgling comes from a pledge they gave to nature. This pledge is a word that gives their souls to the mother of nature, Greania, pledging eternal loyalty in exhange for the powers of nature. This lead to the ability to shape into any animal of their will. Before the pledge was made, they were known as Luino, or small men. These people were living saplings. Then man came to their realm and destroyed their home to the Luino gave the pledge to Greania, giving all the generations the abilities of nature. They have no original shape, though the most common form is that of a domestic animal such as a dog, cat, horse, and so forth. They can hear the words of Greania herself and when she gives a command, they must follow. A Pledgling can live to about 800 years thanks to Greania.
