Editing Crestlyn Isle (section)

==Races==
The various races of Crestlyn_Isle and their [[Crestlyn_Isle_Culture|cultures]].

===Siddh===
The siddh are a mysterious race and not much is known by the other races. They try to keep their culture and practices hidden when they can. Their skin is the color of caramel, their eyes entirely black, their bodies extremely thin. Jet-black hair covers their heads, even the males have long, wild hair which usually covers their faces, adding to their strange appearance. They are weak and fragile, though their mastery of magic makes them formidable foes. They are reluctant to use powerful magic, only doing so in dire situations. They have been known to destroy multiple cities with a single spell. One same situation where their existence on mainland was threatened by attacks from a nation of orcs. 13 days was spent preparing a spell, the result from the casting caused a chasm, 100 miles wide, to open in the center of the orc nation, forcing them to surrender in fear of another spell. The siddh despise conflict, caring only to further their understanding of the world. In secret, they wish to discover the power to ascend their race to a higher plane of existence to create their utopia. A healthy siddh lives on average, 350 years before natural death.

===Elves===
The typical "run of the mill" elves. They are tall, thin and fair skinned. Elves are adept at casting magic, the reason the southern elves believe the siddh should share their secrets. Life span of a healthy elf is 300 years.

===Dwarves===
The opposite of the elvish race. Dwarves are small, stocky and usually muscular. The dwarves grow large beards, and beardlessness is reason enough to suspect a dwarf of insanity. They enjoy drinking strong alcoholic beverages, brawls and shouting about stone-craft. Life span is about 200 years max.

===Humans===
Standard humans that live to be 170. The humans arrived on Crestlyn last, right behind the elves. They were the first to create siege engines and are known to have the most advanced forms of such. They are a fragile race as well as living the shortest life span. Humans have a knack for building, creating large, stable structures using natural materials. Humans are inept at magic, though some human wizards manage to wield advanced magic. Most of the human population is located in the Kahlri desert and the Frozen North.
