Thermae
Not long after, when the Ancient elves created the Forsaken Races, the humans of the realm began experimentation with several creatures in hopes of replicating the effects. While most of the attempts failed in creating a compatible race, the mages at the Spiral Tower suceeded in combining an elemental with a human male and female. Their elemental side often clashed with the trappings of civilized life. Discontented with their origins and unable to fit in with other humans, they self exiled themselves to the Crystalline forest, far north from any settlement.

The Thermae males and females differ wildly in their biology. Decended from fire and ice elementals, the males tend to be much larger and most notable bluish in skin tone, where as the females tend to be slightly smaller and have a reddish complexion. Preffering to stay in the mountinous climate, the females reside closest to the village center, protected by large bonfire that is kept magically. Their society is somewhat matriarchal, however males are given almost as much ruling power as females. Chenoo have enlarged antlers, not too dissimilar to elk antlers, while females posess curled horns, such as what you would see on a ram.
