Lineages
In the universe of Medaevum, all living things share a common ancestor: people. Everything alive in the world is in some way related to one another, and were at some point created by the same hand. That hand, or more accurately hands, no doubt molded them with different intentions. Valleymen were not made for the same tasks as Elves, for example. However, whatever their differences they were both made using the same shared stock.
Even the animals that roam the worlds on Medaevum, the shylings that stalk through the night, even seemingly inhuman monsters are all interrelated. Thsi isn't a page broadly about every single lineage of man however, just the ones that can be played or chosen at character creation.
Elves

In poetic convention, they are also sometimes called Those Who Lie in the Shadow of the Tower. Elves were one of the last races made in the Forge of the Hours, making them technically younger than all but Valleymen. It is commonly known that elves were made for sheer aesthetics, to be physically appealing to the Hours in service to them. And such service included roles like honor guards, household servants, and concubines.
All elves posess these traits:
- Near Divine. Elves have +1 Willpower. When their true name is invoked against them, their effective Willpower is halved.
- Nonsenescent. Elves do not age.
