Ardanian
Hailing from the frigid planet Ardanor, Ardanians are a race of pale or occasionally blue-skinned humanoids renowned for their strength, ferocity, and martial prowess. Characterized by their broad shoulders, muscular builds, and fierce demeanors, Ardanians are formidable warriors, adept in wielding heavy weapons and armor, engaging in close-quarters combat, and harnessing magic to amplify their physical abilities or overwhelm their foes. A fiercely independent and loyal people, Ardanians are a force to be respected, proving themselves invaluable allies in any endeavor.
Frostborn Resilience
Ardanians possess an innate resistance to cold and harsh environments, thanks to their evolution on the frigid planet Ardanor. They can withstand extreme temperatures, resist frostbite and hypothermia, and even draw strength from the cold, becoming more resilient and powerful in icy conditions.
Battle Fury
When faced with adversity or entering combat, Ardanians can tap into a primal rage, known as Battle Fury. This state significantly enhances their strength, speed, and aggression, allowing them to perform feats of incredible power and endurance. However, it also makes them more reckless and less receptive to reason.
Runecraft
Ardanians have a natural affinity for manipulating magical runes, etching them onto weapons, armor, or even their own skin. These runes can bestow various enhancements, such as increasing weapon damage, imbuing armor with protective enchantments, or amplifying the user's physical abilities. Skilled Ardanian Runemasters can create complex rune combinations, leading to devastating magical effects.
