Editing Iron Kingdoms (section)

====Iosans====

Iosans are the "High" elves of the Iron Kingdoms setting, living in the kingdom of Ios. Ios is fanatically isolationist and hideously paranoid, which is fair enough considering that the majority of its gods went missing, their sole surviving god is possibly having its life drained to feed human magic, their species has stopped reincarnating properly etc. etc. As in many other fantasy settings, being an Elf in the Iron Kingdoms is not pleasant from a survival of the species point of view, but unlike most Tolkein-ripoff elves the Iron Kingdoms ones haven't kept their cool composure; in fact, quite a lot of them are determined to murder every single human mage so that their gods get better. 

In the Iron Kingdoms RPG, Iosans have the choice of being [[Aspect Warrior|specialist]] [[Culexus|mage hunters]], with an innate ability to ignore ALL magical defenses automatically; eventually they get bonus damage against anything that can use magic.  

However, the majority of Iosan players will probably join the Order of Seekers, which is basically an official organisation of D'rizzit Do'Urdens. They want to actually look for answers as to why Scyrah is getting sick rather than indiscriminately murdering humans in the hope that she'll perk up.  Iosans get good intellectual and "dexterity" stats, and can choose an extra archetype benefit at character creation.
