Ishdrim - Overseas People
Eldritch Lineage
Many among the Ishdrim are born with a natural propensity to learn the arcane arts. Since the First Age, when they still populated the land of Sarneum, they have worked hard to formulate superb charms, looking for ways to evolve and improve.Their great contention with the First Men led them to make a pact with the solar deity: the Prime known as Hollon, which granted them mastery over the element of fire. Finally, it was Lagoran's political skills that ended the twenty-year war between Ishdrim and the Anireth who had come to colonize the southern lands.

The Ishdrim are a proud and stubborn people. Although many have adapted to the new life in the moonlight, they carry with them the ancestral legacy of their faith in the sun. Usually of dark or oleaster complexion, or of all the shades between the two, they often present themselves dressed in clothing that appears exotic and eccentric in the eyes of the other citizens of Iùrmen.
Given their strong sense of community , they travel only to find a new home in which to settle, after periods of population growth or shortages in resources, sometimes clearing up haunted ruins and building small fortresses. This, however, should not give the idea that they cannot be effective explorers or raiders, professions in which they excel.
The arcane energy that comes from their ancient pact with the sun is evident on their skin: from birth, they present an arcane aura on their body and visage, as if branded with fire, and their eyes radiate light as if they were embers.
Height is that of a human.
