Editing Arcanis (section)

==Lesser Races==
Whilst the above form the "core" races of the Arcanis setting, its slow conversion to 5th edition is unlocking a number of less powerful (geo-politically speaking) races that are, nonetheless, potentially playable.

'''Codex Geographica I: The Blessed Lands''' features two races in its bestiary with official PC write-ups; the [[Ibon]], a race of [[Half-Giant]]s, and the [[Sama]],  race of small insectoids who mature from hyper-emotional adolescents to hyper-logical adults.

'''Codex Geographica II: The Ssethregoran Empire''' contains a massive expose on the various [[scalykind]] of Arcanis, and as a result, it is full of new playable races.

'''[[Hussuma]]''' are an artificially created race produced using [[fleshcrafting|biomancy]]. Made in imitation of the [[elorii]], hussuma are used to spy on that race by its former masters.

'''[[Hylis]]''' are a race of small, humanoid tree frogs who willingly allied with the [[ssanu]] to defeat and ruin their former rivals, known today only as the [[Shell-Back]]s.

'''[[Iguadon]]s''' are bigger, bulkier [[lizardfolk]] traditionally used as shock troops. Whilst their creators and even their ss'ressen cousins tend to consider them dim-witted, they are a deeply spiritual race that clings to the worship of the old ssethric god Kassegore.

'''[[Kobold]]s''' were engineered as a race of worker-slaves, and may have been made a bit ''too'' well, as they have proliferated both within and without of the empire.

'''[[Naga]]''' are a ssanu subrace altered by [[fleshcrafting|biomancy]] in the ancient days of the Yahssremoran Empire to create the ultimate wielders of elder sorcery and psionics. Now they've taken over the ssethric races, ousting their cousins to form the Ssethregoran Empire. They are divided into three subspecies, known as "Houses"; House Kahss, House Sardatis, and House Taricha.

'''[[Pleisauran]]s''' are a race of humanoid [[dinosaur|pleisiasaurs]] who serve to control the amphibious and aquatic slaves and minionbeasts of ssethric society.

'''[[Rhamphorike]]s''' are a slave-race created by using [[fleshcrafting|biomancy]] to crossbreed [[kobold]]s and small pterosaurs to create aerial troopers.

'''[[Shell-Back]]s''' were once a proud and ancient race of humanoid turtles... until their bitter rivals the [[hylis]] made an alliance with the ssethrics to decimate and subjugate them, stripping away their culture and even robbing them of the knowledge of their own racial name.

'''[[Ssanu]]''' are the original ssethric race, a species of [[serpentfolk]] with a mastery for elder sorcery and especially [[fleshcrafting|biomancy]]. They were nearly annihilated by their [[elorii]] creations, and now they're under the control of their own [[naga]] descendants.

'''[[Yissera]]''' are an artificially engineered race created from a cocktail of human and ssanu DNA to produce spies and agents to infiltrate human civilization. However, as they age, their reptilian genes assert themselves, twisting them into oft-horrific amalgamations of human and snake. They're essentially a knock-off version of the [[Yuan-Ti]], specifically the Pureblood and Malison variants, with the [[ssanu]] getting the "snake with a humanoid upper torso" appearace of the Yuan-Ti Abomination.
