Category:Races of Antoisia

Within the world of Belizia there can be found five different distinct races. Each has their own culture and social structure with traditions.

Gods
The gods are a group of twenty five deities who embody and represent the different forces found in nature. Although the group of deities have the smallest population, with only twenty five members, they are the most powerful beings in world of Belizia.

Humans
Humans are the most wide spread of the Antiosian races. Although not as strong as fornas nor as skilled as dryads, the strength of humans comes from their ability to endure whatever is thrown at them. Humans have suffered a great deal on this continent, but have survived in small numbers in their home of The Forgoten Quarter in central Antiosia.

Origins
Humans were created by Divasa and Rātri during the War of the Gods, and were the last race created during the War of the Gods.

Simo
The Simo are a race of ape-like beings who are the world's newest race and originated outside of Antoisia, on a continent yet unaffected by the Dryad King's imprisonment of the lesser water gods. Thus, very little is known about them and their homeland.

Origins
At the conclusion of the Court of the Gods, Divasa and Rātri were granted permission to create another race alongside with keeping the humans. This led to the creation of the simo race who at the advent of their creation has a more direct connection with the gods.

Forna
The forna are a group of clever beings who are between 4’ and 8’ tall who are all very physically fit and incredibly strong. Forna have the ability to shapeshift between both genders within their race and sexes. They control the eastern half of Antiosia known as Sarigisi.

Origins
The forna were created by Bhūmaṇḍala as weapons of war during the War of The Gods. They were created to act as spies able to sneak into enemy camps.

Dryads
Dryads are tall, slender, and agile creatures who control the western half of the continent known as Kramleang. Dryads are biologically gender-less and have their own process for reproducing. Extremely skilled and loyal, Dryad culture is slow to evolve because of their long life spans, and thus, they were the last to forget the worship of their true gods, instead worshiping water some time at the end of the dark ages.

Origins
The dryads were created by Sagara and Samudra, as weapons of war during The War of The Gods.
