General Information

Karnamen are the race of humans from the western regions of Middum. They are typical neutral toned people, with skin ranging from tan to pale, and a wide variety of hair and eye colors. They are diverse, but all fairly average in their shape and size.

Diet

Karnamen exist on just about any source of food they can get their hands on. They have been known to practice animal husbandry and farming, as well as hunting and gathering. There are several foods that other races enjoy, that Karnamen find to be repulsive. For example, while bugs are considered a delicacy among the Lepirians, nearly all Karnamen refuse to eat such things.

Enemies

There is a marked hatred between their kind and many of the "Low" Races, such as Orcs, Goblins and Trolls. They are not fond of Gnolls or Kobolds, but there's not much interaction with those races so much as others.

Interspecies Relations

Karnamen enjoy good relations with most other "High" races, and form alliances based both on racial distinctions, and what benefits the accompanying party will provide. Karnamen kingdoms in Everwind Country enjoy specifically good relations with the High Elven city-state of Rothmanir.

Magical Affinities

Karnamen are not especially adept at magic, nor are they hindered in its use. Many Karnamen have been known as powerful mages or experts of the arcane.

The Kingdoms of Everwind
