Human

Humans, originally hailing from the southwest, propagated quickly throughout the continent – though short-lived by comparison to many other races, they distinguished themselves through undertaking riskier work – many traders, criminals, and mercenaries were and are Human. Favoured by the Ankyreans during the height of the Order’s power, Humans saw their power and population burgeon rapidly, to the point that they are now the most numerous and influential race upon the continent even centuries after the Order’s demise.

Class ideas for roleplay

These are potential starting points for a character’s story and are offered as suggestions only. You can make almost any class or race combination work in Aetolia as your race gives no special advantage with these classes; availability follows the usual class and guild rules.

Wayfarer

A Human from a remote settlement could take to the road as a scout or bounty hunter, learning to live from the land. Wayfarers have no central guild, so service to a city, resistance to an empire or the next paid contract could well determine where they travel.

Templar

A Human who has found a home in Enorian might take up arms to defend their people and pursue the Age of Dawn. Their story could centre on the demands of the Templar code when duty to the Light conflicts with family ties or the lure of an easier life elsewhere.

Praenomen

A Human’s embrace into vampirism could begin a new life amongst the Consanguine of Bloodloch. Connected to the Blood by the bloodline and their sire, the demand to seek out power and prestige would reshape old, petty ambitions, refining goals via prowess for occult ritualism or by means of manipulation and violence.
