Alktans

Race: Fairies Nation(s): Qauta

Physical Traits

The most common Faeric ethnicity. Wings are roughly ovular with perfectly smooth exposed edges, a ridge called the wingspine running down the middle of each wing, and a connecting ridge called the grand spine. All four wings together stand approximately the height of the torso. Forehead rune is an eight-pronged star (the "North Star", in essence).

All Fairies share a median height range of 5'4"–5'7" (Nnassens tend taller), with hair that is brown, blonde, or close to white, and eyes that are jade green, turquoise, or hazel. These three traits carry no dominant genes, so they are randomly expressed in mixed heritage.

Element Attunement

Electricity is the most common attunement among Fairies (Gyoledt's element).

Sub-Ethnicities

• None

Notes

• Named for the ancient Faeric nation of Alkta and the Alkta River
• The Alktan wing is the most genetically dominant trait; the Taseman rune is its most common paired rune in mixed heritage
• Wing and rune traits have dominant/recessive inheritance; same-ethnicity reproduction is encouraged by the Qautan government to preserve these traits
