The Races

Draconic -The oldest race on Keldorin, these magnifisent creatures have magic that focuses on shapeshifting, and elemental control. They breath fire, wind, ice, gas, etc. The greatest of these creatures, the Elder Dragons , are capable of speaking, and useing the draconic magic. The slightly smaller, but otherwise equals, the Greater Dragons , are just as scarce in population as the Elder Dragons . The smaller Dragons then the Greater, the Lesser Dragons,cannot control as much of the draconic arts, such as shapeshifting etc. Then there are the Wyverns these creatures are very small by comparison to the larger Dragons. They are snae-like, and cannot speak. They also cannot use the Draconic magics, but do share in the draconic gift of breathing the elements. Smallest and most common, are the Drakes . Mostly seen as magic users pets, these small but strong creatures are the weakest in all areas of draconic gifts. Unlike the larger types, they can only breath fire.

Elven-Kin-The Elves are the most in touch with the flow of power, thus making them the most magically evolved race. They live in harmony with nature, and usually only eat friuts, vegetables, and nuts. They are most common in the forest of Southern Keldorin, also known as The Elven Kingdom. The Elves can read power signals much farther than any other race, with the accetion of the long deceased Vaheru.

They have light blue or green eyes, blonde/golden hair, and pail complexions. They weigh anywhere between 80-120 lbs, and grow to be about 6'-7'.
