The Althos do not abide by age as most see it. They have lifetimes anywhere between 10000-15000 years long and will consider anyone younger than 2000 years old a child. Because of this, Althos characters do not often align with particular factions, or develop any social lives. They mature around 1750 years old and will begin to experience old age anywhere from 9000 to 12000 years old. This means that many Althos spend their lives as hermits or sages, meditating and studying away from society.

Althos are cunning and antisocial more likely than not. They prefer not to align and simply seek to gain power through knowledge. Most Althos are Lawful Neutral.

Althos range from less than 6 ft. tall to to well over 7' tall and have skeletal-thin builds. Your size is Medium.

Your base walking speed is 25 feet, and your swim and climb speed is 5. You can occasionally levitate at a speed of 1.

Althos, like elves, don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and Althos. Althos is soft and quick, a tonal language with sensitive grammar and pronunciation. It is very potent when used is many spells and incantations, while being notoriously difficult to learn. The Althos people have a very thick and varied history of research, and many knowledge-thick ancient texts were written in Althos.
