Altamnian

Altamnian
Altamnians are the arrogant, cruel, blue-winged elf-like people living to the south of the Verxihonna desert. They believe themselves, as descendants of the vicious titan Altamon, to be superior to all other races of Istaria and thus obviously they feel they must either enslave or destroy all others.



Including the gods.



They are a proud and vain race with very little diversity in general. They keep slaves and, previous to the Aegis invasion of Lantania, they often made war on the other races in the Northern Lantania region, and either subjugated them or were driven back. Now, they are in a tenuous barely-alliance with their neighbors, mainly due to the necessity of being closest to the wall that holds the forces of the Aegis back.



They are elfish in form, but with far sharper and linear features. Their eyes can be of the basic human shades, but in a very intense and gem-like form. They are blessed with blue bird-like wings that sprout from their backs, but these haughty creatures are no angels, and they are far more clumsy with their wings than they would like to admit, not having the proper body type for their use. Hair is of generic Elven shades and types, but tends to not be grown nearly as long.



Due to a limited genetic pool and fierce, often homicidal, hatred of altamnian/human halfbreeds, Altamnians tend to have very little variation in their proud, noble bearing and tend to be a bit sickly.



Stats:



-2 Con, +2 Str, +2 Cha


 *   Medium: As Medium creatures, half-elves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
 * Base land speed is 30 feet.
 * Elven Blood: For all effects related to race, an altamnian is considered an elf
 * Gliding: Altamnians can use their wings to glide and negate falling damage from any height, and allowing 20ft of forward travel for every 10 ft fallen. They glide at a speed of 30ft average maneuverability. They cannot hover while gliding, and cannot glide when carrying a medium of heavy load. If she becomes unconcious while midair, her wings naturally unfurl and stiffen, allowing her to circle down and take only 1d6 of falling damage, no matter the actual falling distance.
 * Flight: An Altamnian can fly for a number of rounds equal to their constitution modifier (or 1 if no modifier/ a negative modifier is present)+ their level, these need not be consecutive and can be preceded and followed by gliding, allowing them to remain aloft for extended periods of time without becoming fatigued. They may fly for twice this amount, but are fatigued. They may make a dive attack while flying, which works like a charge but requires a minimum of 30ft and a decent of at least 10 ft with a piercing weapon. If it hits, it deals double damage.
