Anurian

The anurian are a race of magic frog people. It said they emerged when a frog saved the life of a Princess a long time ago, in thanks her father the Mage-King used his magic to uplift the frogs of the swamp and made them into brave knights.

Personality

Anurians are extremely brave by nature, they are bold and believe themselves of overcoming any obstacles. They are usually very very resentful of their own failure and tend to be self sacrificial. Despite their rather brash attitude they tend to be extremely well-mannered and gentle when not fighting evil and protecting the innocents.

Physical Description

Being frog made into people, anurians typically stand 3'9 and weight less than 50 lbs, thank to their hollow bones. They look like what you would expect from a mix of frog and people.

Relations

Being very well-mannered and polite, the anurians make very few enemies. However they are often loathed by the evil race for being an annoying thorn in their side.

Alignment

Anurians are overwhelmingly lawful good, very few are neutral good or chaotic good and even fewer are non-good. There legend about evil anurians but whether one existed or not is really up for debate.

Lands

Anurians prefer to live in swamp kingdoms, or anywhere near swamps really. They hate dry places and do not settle there, at least not in large number.

Religion

While most anurians worship good and lawful deities, some anurian turned to the worship of the enigmatic Mage-King who created their race and his fair daughter.

Language

Young anurians learn both common and aquan, they do not have any native language to call their own.
