RACE-ZERTHIMAR
The Zerthimar is a magically adept race that primarily resides on the plane of Limbo. Their settlements on Limbo are usually very large, and some cities have even been known to reach a population in the millions. Their appearance is difficult to discern from the average human Caucasian, and has the same range of variances with the exception they all have bright golden eyes. Through constant practice of the voluminous arts of magic, they have developed a racial magic resistance that rivals even the mighty tytans. However, the physical stature of the Zerthimar, when compared to that of humans, could almost be called effeminate with its predominance of delicate features found even with the male counterparts of the race. This being due to the concentration of focus and reliance on magic to not only extend the already vast knowledge of those arts found within their societies, but to also perform the most basic of daily tasks rather than being due to any physical limitations racially speaking.
The Zerthimar frequent the material plane along with several others via a magical means through artifact construction they learned to bridge the planar barriers. These journeys are almost always a quest to learn something new about the magical arts they hold so dear. Because of this, they can be very socially interactive with other races to share magical knowledge. The Zerthimar will only provide knowledge they deem of a like level to that which they wish to attain, and generally keep close guard over their most powerful of magical secrets. This is due primarily to keep them safe from other more-menacing races bent on conquest. Zerthimar have an unexplainable hindrance to forming bonds with multiple followers which may be partially due to their own racial resistance to magic, and they resist using followers except in the rarest of circumstances. Some say this is simply due to an egotistical belief in their own magical prowess.
Some Zerthimar have been known to leave their ancestral home on the plane of Limbo to take permanent residence on the material plane. This can be due to a love for another civilization, or just the preoccupation of their studies in one magical art or another. As a whole, members of their race are generally met with a more positive and open-minded approach in social relations though some can find them somewhat arrogant. Zerthimar must be as wary as any other for they are seen as walking warehouses of magical knowledge that others can find valuable, and worth the taking of a prisoner. Others greet Zerthimar with a sense of distrust and fear due to the race's inherent magical resistance which many times accompanies great magical prowess. Zerthimar will most often take up magical professions, but there have been rare exceptions of them taking on more physical endeavors.
