AncestryDwarf . . . by ?: ''Our size defines us, aye. Every day I rue the fact I must look up to talk to most of you. But, we were giants, once. Taller than the hills you call homes, our very bodies carved from the metals below us. Living mountains, so strong our kin felt the need to break us down. To this day, they come to destroy the homes we built in these rocks. They continue to forget that when you try to break a mountain, you get an avalanche.'' - Voljra, Iron-Eye

AncestrySpartoi . . . by ?: (:title Spartoi:) '''Singular; Sparti. Plural: Spartoi.''' ''"You and I, we all bleed into the same earth. From its bounty we feed, and through our body and work we sustain it. We are all connected to the gift our world provided us. My body of stone and veins of water may make it seem I am one with nature, but we are ALL brothers and sisters, children of the earth! Let my name travel the winds as your guardian, eons after we become one with our ancestors."'' - Kardaeus, sparti titled "The Undying Shield" Resembling animated statues, spartoi spend the majority of their life adventuring or within an armed force, only returning home once they've earned a worthy Call or live for a century. Sharing an innate connection to nature and combat, many folks know not to encounter a sparti by the end of their spear, but rather alongside a field of wheat. Spartoi, or singularly sparti, are generally half a foot taller than humans, but can weigh up to twice as much due to their unique physiology. They appear as if made by an sculptor, their skin similar in appearance and texture to various types of rocks. Their lifestyle of adventuring and farming allows them to boast of their sculpted physique, something many other races envy.

AncestryDynastes . . . by ?: '''Singular, Plural: Dynastes.''' Dynastes, no matter their origin across Galdera, tower over the humanoid races they live alongside. Ranging from seven to ten feet tall and around four feet wide, it is common for these folks to reside in towns that also house other large races, be it orcs, drakes, and the giant-kin. Dynastes are naturally hairless, with their leather-like skin often compared to segmented armor. What strikes a dynastes from another most distinctively are their eyes; six sparkling eyes, split between two rows, with colors and sheen rivaling the most precious of gems.
