Homebrew Darcci Species Details

Residing on the south eastern coast of Iveris, this race of humans take up all of the civilized land in the east. Ranging from short and stubby to tall and skinny, these humans are born with a variety of hair colors and physical features. Most however, are born with darker hair and eye color than that of the other races. The Darcci government system is that of a monarchy, the King rules from the capitol and has placed governors in charge of the other towns within the empire. The Darcci hold a large scale trade partnership with the Cervasi that live across the waters of the gulf, the two remain mutual partners.

The Darrci once ruled most of the eastern part of the continent of Iveris, but nearly 300 years ago there came a wandering tribe of humans into the continent from the far north. This tribe drove the Darcci from the northern parts of Iveris and down into the southern edge where they now live peacefully. Tensions between the Darcci and the Tassian people are at best strained and at worst, anger fueled.
