The metis are people whose ancestors are from different race, but their blood as been so much diluted with each generation that now their appearance is similar to those of humans except for a few rare traits. They are rarely well seen among the other race, because they think they are some sort of bastardised version of their race.

Metis : Someone whose blood is tainted with the one of many different race. Society : Mostly sedentary, which means they live in their own cities and villages, not really the bunch to travel around. Main location : Island of Lorima History : Throught the different eras, the races kept mostly to themselves but in some rare case, two members of different species would have offspring, most of them would either die in their youth or carry no offspring themselves. Then, at the beginning of our era, Illumi, the moon goddess, took these poor children and brought them to Lorima and blessed them with the gift of procreation. But upon doing so, most of the other race were jealous of them because they had had the protection of a deity. No one is really sure why Illumi decided to protect the Metis, but some says that it is because she, herself, is a metis among the gods, half god, half demon, lighting the night but of an always cold light, sometime blood red, other time white and pristine as snow. It is why that the Metis hold each year a festival in the honour of Illumi and this festival goes from Port Turquoise and goes throught all the cities, even the dwarvish halls and the forest of the demi-human, and, upon entering the forest, only the great priestess continue to the great temple deep in the forest where, some says, she speaks with the goddess herself. Politic : Each city is ruled by a mayor (titled : bourgmestre) whose roles is to take care of their cities and once a month, travel to the capital to speak to the council where each descision is taken. The council is headed by a leader which is elected every four year among the ten wisest members of each town and never can one be leader twice nor can it be twice from the same city. This way it allows some change in the descision. International relation : While being the neighbourgs of Illaria, the Lorimarian (people of Lorima) are mostly neutrals in the international politics. Most of the other nation care little of what they think anyway.
