[QUOTE="TiwazTyrsfist, post: 6296499, member: 70582"] So, on the subject of races for O.L.D. (and N.E.W.) here's a race I made, adapted differently form both games. Crystal Trolls/Silicoids are a Crystalline race. They are physically translucent/transparent and tend to sparkle in strong light. Crystal Trolls tend to be angular in appearance, but not rough. Smooth curves ending at sharp angles, occasional clefts and visible inclusions. Silicoids are smooth and polished, looking like carefully machined statues or masterful sculptures carved from solid Quartz. Both races have a variety of body tones, across the whole spectrum of Quartzes and Glasses, though rose is common, and Amethyst tend to be recruited into priesthood or other religious roles. [TABLE="width: 642"][TR][TD][B]Crystal Trolls 20 Years[/B] [/TD][/TR][TR][TD]Unlike their rougher, more violent, and stupider cousins, Crystal Trolls are intelligent, sociable, civilized, and culturally developed. According to their ancestral legends their progenitors were born directly from raw crystal in caves deep in their home mountains, by the influence of Elemental Life bleeding into the stone. These caves are still holy sites for them, and often at the core of their cities, carved directly into the stone face of the mountains.
