Races

Vasimare

A group of humans that specifically offended the light divine. Their punishment was a blinding light that took their eyesight. As a side-effect, Vasimare developed a great talent for magic. In time, they were able to restore their eyesight by spending magical power. They say their glowing eyes and pointy ears are a result of this overuse of magic.

Some can be very disciplined, praying for days, suppressing the urge, but most of them give in and let their inner beast come out. Most Wrathicos are bounty hunters by trade for this reason.
