Races

Humans are only one of the many races you can play in Nightshade. Here are a few others.

Elf
Elves are technically a half-breed race, the result of a long ago union between the Fae and humans. They tend to be a long lived race with tight bonds of family.

=== Half Elf===

Half Elves are the natural result of the union of an elf and a human. They have all the weaknesses of the elves with all the flexibility of humans.

=== Star Child===

Star children are the result of the rare union between a member of the pantheon of the stars and another race, generally human.

=== Telowen===

Telowen are highly evolved sentient plants. With an allergy to arcane power, many of them turn to the clerical arts or they learn to manipulate plants using their innate powers.

=== Godborn===

The Godborn are as many and varied as the gods which are their parents. Half mortal and half divine, they are bound to become heroes and tend to feel left out.

Jaegermonster
Jaegermonsters are monsters, usually the result of a human drinking the Jaegerdraught, they can also reproduce naturally, if rarely. They are a violent bunch with a distinctive accent and an obsession with hats. Not all serve the Heterodyne House, but many do.

Scion of the Old Ones
The Scions of the Old Ones are the children of the Elder Gods. Unnatural and unnerving, they tend towards being loners. Divine powers and their offspring cannot see the Elder Gods and theirs.

Anunnaki
The Anunnaki are a race apart in Space. Visitors from another world, they have fantastic technology and strange ways. They are pacifists with no understanding of violence.

Mechanokin
Mechanokin are a race of cyborgs created in the mid-1800s in Germany. They are similar to humans, but they are easier to modify and nearly always have obvious modifications or scars.

Dhamphir
Dhamphir are part-vampires. Unlike full vampires, they are not inherently evil, although their souls are not full attached. They are able to use blood magic without having a corruptive aura. Dhamphirs also have unnatural grace and speed.
