Edian Races

Overview

The Edian Races are a Civilized Racial Group that has had a profound and inescapable impact in the analogs of recorded history across the whole of the Known World. They stand as the single most prolific and populace racial group in all the Terrestrial World, as the Edian Races are the collective descendants of the immortal Inomeni race known as the Edia, who reigned over the vast majority of the world for thousands of years during the long-form Archaistic Era.

For much of known history to the modern day, the Edian Races have held unparalleled dominion over the known world, having spread through the length and breadth of the globe, conquering and incorporating the collective lands of East and West as their own. As well as being the most populace, the Edian Races comprise the most individual races of any of the Civilized Races, holding ten distinctive races underneath their umbrella.

As a result, the varying forms in which the Edian Races individual member races can adopt are extremely vast and varied, with some appearing to share little to no common heritage with one another. Despite the variable form in which they can adopt, the Edian Races all contain within them a shared bloodline as the last remnants of the once great global Edian Empire, and have exemplified this shared bond by their sheer and utter dominance over the planet during the centuries of recorded history.
