Races (Elder Effect)

There exists a wide variety of races in Aurbis. Though different in terms of biology, as well as cultural and societal norms, scientists theorise that they may have stemmed from the very same origin of life during the beginning of the known universe. Despite their distance to one another, there is an uncanny similarity and resemblance the races share, as well as traits which they all have in common. Most of the sentient races in Aurbis are bipedal, have a set of two eyes, and have five digits on both set of extremities. They also have distinct sexual dimorphism, separating the two genders physically.

Interbreeding between the races is possible, however the offspring will always result in the race of the mother, with some traits, such as eye and/or hair color with likeness carried over from the father. For example: a union between an Argonian father and an Imperial mother would result in the live birth of an Imperial child. Changing the races, however, to that of a union between an Argonian mother and an Imperial father would result in the laying of an egg and an Argonian offspring.

What follows here is a list of the known races found in Aurbis:

Nords
The inhabitants of the frozen moon, Skyrim.

Appearance
Tall, fair-haired, and often sturdy and stout in body structure; Nords are considered the naturally strongest of the races of Men.

Culture and Society
Nords take great pride in traditions of warfare, revelry and family honor. They rarely, if ever, tell lies as they value honesty in almost every aspect of their lives. However, Nords are also generally reserved and suspicious. They have a hard time trusting foreigners as well as their own kin, which has more than often led to grudges and battles within the Clans, the ruling families of Nord society. However, to make up for this kind of social paranoia, Nords have also proven themselves to be extremely loyal, once trust and respect has been earned. They will gladly take bullets or hits from melee weapons in order to save the life of a beloved or a friend. Nords have also made themselves famous with their fighting capabilities and craftmanship.

Though their Stalhrim arsenal have made itself a unique name outside of Empire space, it is the quality and ingenuity of their shipbuilding that really outshines the other races of the Mundus Galaxy in terms of technological advancement.

Due to their efforts and participation in the art of war, it is not uncommon to find most Nords becoming freelancing soldiers or mercenaries. And Nordic shipbuilders, along with weapons and armor manufacturers are considered among the finest in Mundus. However, due to a strong sense of duty and pride to their own kin, they will more than often join up with or serve the Nords' own national forces, the Stormcloaks, over any other race.

Khajiit
The cat-folk of Elsweyr with moons.

Appearance
Feline and fur-clad, with bodyshapes ranging from slick and slender to athletically muscular. The Khajiit of Elsweyr are agile and swift, with an impeccable eyesight and hearing.
