#kyos

On my Bluesky and Insta, I drew the Kyluxh characters for everyday this month.

I have 8 different sentient races…

Humans are the most abundant race in Kyos. Humans also have the most diverse appearances. They have limited  to no magical abilities, and live about 60-80 years.

Elves are the second most abundant race. Unlike any other species elven hair is not genetic. If an elf child is born in the fall their hair will always be red, in the winter it will always be white/silver, spring will be blond, and summer is black or brown. Elves have advanced to limited magical abilities, though some are born  with no magic at all. Most elves live between 100 and 120 years.

Dragons have been hunted to near extinction, with just under 30 known to be remaining. All dragons have advanced to master levels of magical ability. Dragons can shift from their “full draconic glory” into a human form, with or without dragon bits sticking out. Dragons typically live for 4500 to 5000 years, the oldest recorded dragon died at age 6462.

Angels are a rarely encountered race, preferring not to mess with the affairs of mortals. Angels are non-corporeal, and thus require a body to interact with the mortal plane. Most angels choose a human or elven vessel, but some have been known to poses alchemical constructs known as living dolls. Angels have master to god levels of magical ability, and with the few times they have acted, they are often worshipped as deities. There is no recorded natural death of an angel, though some have been said to have been slain by dragons.

Fauns mainly live in areas of wild magic, and are not commonly seen by humans or elves. Their lifespan varies drastically depending on their magical abilities. Those with limited magic live for about 100 years, while those with advanced magic live for roughly 400 years. A faun is any humanoid with hooves and or horns, that can not change, centaurs would also fall under this category.

Changelings are another rare race, though they often inhabit the same areas as humans or elves. They are also called facechangers, they have the ability to alter their features to look like anyone. They cannot, however, change into animals. Changelings fall in between human and elven lifespans at around 100-110 years. Changelings also have limited  magical abilities.

Shifters are similar to dragons, in that they are able to shift between human and animal, or have features of both. They only have one human, and one animal form; this can be any sort avian, mammalian, or reptilian. A Shifter will typically live for 100 to 600 years depending on their magic, normal to advanced. Shifter is an umbrella term for this race, with each one calling themselves Something different

I’ve already posted my map, so I’m going to highlight two regions.

The Glass Plains/Sea of Glass; An icy region east of The North Sea.The ice in the region is almost perfectly clear giving it it’s name. It becomes a hazard for boats when icebergs break off and float into The Sea of Songs.
