Table of Contents

Having once lived underground, only to be driven to the surface by a herald of the Elder Dragon Primordus, this race continued to flourish thanks to the arcane knowledge, powers, and inventions that all members of the Asura race possess.

Today, their technology dots the lands, and the greatest example is the great city of Rata Sum, a huge floating cube riddled with passages, where three colleges are taking different approaches on how to unlock the secrets of the Eternal Alchemy.

Society is made out of krewes, research organizations where everyone strives to do their best, where their tenacity allows them to make major breakthroughs and make their names known, names such as Technomancer Kheogg, and Conjuror Shuakki.

  • Thaumaturgist Trossaf
  • Calculator Drerr
  • Necromancer Bweppik
  • Infiltrator Sliril
  • Reanimator Triffak

The Asura aren’t a physically imposing race but they more than make up for it with their intelligence. Living in research organizations where many specialize in their fields, this race rarely finds problems they can’t solve, and their technology is used widely across all lands. Their greatest enemy recently, however, has been themselves, where frequent internal conflicts continue to threaten to tip the balance in one way or the other. Think about who were their parents, where was the character born, what is their occupation, what might be their dreams and goals, how do they plan to achieve them, and create a name worthy of the marvelous inventions and technologies they will surely get their hands on.
