Play a Quen-Yeti if you want…•    To play a slave capable of growing from the lowest ranks of society to legendary hero.•    To be exceptionally strong and tough.•    To be a member of a race that favors the fighter, paladin, and warlock classes.PHYSICAL QUALITIESQuen-Yeti look nearly exactly as their larger Yeti cousins, with white, gray, or rarely brown fur covering their entire bodies except for a blue, black, or red protruding snout.  Males are known to have long streaking length of hair, resembling horns coming from their cheeks and back of head. They have longer than average arms, sharp protruding fangs and eyes ranging from bright blue ro dark vibrant red. Quen-Yeti do not wear clothing in general, except for armor.  Rings and most magic items require the enchant item ritual to resize for these large beings. Quen-Yeti enjoy art, even the Raseri, whom prize sculpture and other 3-D art above all other things and often have amulets or armor crafted with exotic additions such as carved horns on the shoulders, bracers sculpted to seem as animals, or helms with unique additions such as furred wings or attached paldrons.  There is no outward visible difference between the different sects of Quen-Yeti, though the Raseri tend to be towards the taller end of the race’s size.  Females tend to be less varied in color (universally white) and shorter but are said to live almost twice as long.PLAYING A QUEN-YETI (Styrke) Opplyst:  Enlightened Styrke whom worship Inyx (most commonly) or another pagan god, they have achieved an inner wisdom which is used to dampen their ever fuelled rage.  Most live in villages and clans within the ice fingers or Great Plateau.Raseri: Styrke whom have not learned any manner of controlling their rage, these barely sentient beasts roam the ice plains and ice fingers most commonly in small packs, causing destruction wherever they go. On rare occasion one or more in a group become cognizant enough of their plight (which is completely succumbing to the rage curse of the Quen-Yeti) that they can exist among the other races.Tapt: The most common Quen-Yeti (they do not commonly use their races name for themselves; the Styrke) found among the other races of the north, the Tapt have been bred as slaves and their inner rage has been completely removed.  Bred for strength and heavy lifting by the giants in older times, these slaves now work among the rest of the empire with barely a scant understanding of their original culture or stride.Rage Curse:  Fuelled by ancient magic originally designed to make them affect shock troops, a nearly unstoppable inner rage exists within the Quen, making them lose their senses and go into a wild, uncontrollable rage.  Unlike the raging of a Barbarian or Orc, this rage drains them of their sensesand makes them almost beast like.Some Quen-Yeti have difficulty with the concept of money, instead preferring barter, but those among the other race’s communities soon learn its value.  To be completed later.</blockquote>
