Reds

The reds, as they are most commonly known, are aborigines of the Domelands. In outward appearance, they are practically identical to humans, except for the peculiarity from which they take their name: their skin is always a strong shade of red, though ranging from pink to nearly black; their hair tends to shades of red, too. However, they do not seem to be as closely related to humanity as the magical races proper, and this likeness remains something of a mystery.

The reds were not part of the Great Alliance against the dragons, and so not part of the ensuing treaty; since that time, however, they have entered into treaties and have effectively become one of the magical races, politically and economically. They and the dwarves between them occupy much of the Domelands, and they trade much in raw materials used in magical crafting.

Though they lack Second Sight, they have excellent magical craftsmen, as well as priests and other holy men who practice another form of magic, or rather, if they are too be believed, call on their gods for miracles. This form of magic has not been successfully practiced by members of any other race. The religious rituals of the reds are conducted, almost invariably, prostrate on the ground at the lowest point possible. This has led to some dispute with dwarves, since the reds regard deep caves and mines as sacred.
