Physiology & Racial Demographics
"I'll have you know we've the best physiques in all of Altera!"
The Asrakosians are a multi-racial culture, mainly consisting of humans, forest and silver elves, dwarves, caparii, and halflings. In Asrakosian society, race comes into consideration in chosen professions and locales. Countryside villages see Halfling farmers, and Wood Elven foresters secreted away from the bustling cities. In those cities, Greathorn Caparii are sought as heavy infantry, and Dwarves occupy workshops, where they are patronized by the reserved and academic Silver Elves who serve as tutors and philosophers.
Rigorous lifestyles and hearty diets have blessed most Asrakosians with muscular, hardened frames. It is not uncommon to see men and women grow to at least six feet, but the average height seems to be 5'8 to 5'10. Many Asrakosian humans are quite swift-footed or brawny due to a love of physical activities, such as wrestling, javelin-throwing, gladiatorial games, and foot, horse, or chariot racing.
Asrakosians’ complexions tend to be tanned or bronzed, and their faces possess high cheekbones and either aquiline or straight noses, with heads sporting hair that is curly or wavy, but not outright springy or kinky. In the more conservative elements of Asrakosian society, it is often unseemly for proper women to have a tan, though among poorer families a good tan is a sign of being a hard worker. Generally, those of Asrakosian birth might well find that even in old age, they are hale and hearty due to a physically active lifestyle.
Astrakhan is generally where most Asrakosians can be found, but there are some far-flung communities outside their native homeland, either as citizens or mercenaries. While most prefer the warmer climes of the South, it is not out of the question to find some braving the North's colder vistas, if the opportunities are right.
