The Frey-ohani

The Frey-ohani From RocksfallWiki (Redirected from Frey-ohani) [edit] Description

The Frey, as a race, are slightly shorter than humans, averaging 5’6” in height and are slight of build. Their ears are pointed, extending in a thin arch from their sides of their head for about 6” and their eyes are larger than a human’s eyes. Hair colors range from brown to blue to purple, with eye colors ranging the rainbow. Skin tone is generally a pale flesh tone, but there can be a slight blue or purple hue to it. [edit] Culture and Society

A long lived race, the Frey-ohani take a long term view on things, which causes the most difficulty with their relationship with humans. Quick decisions do not come easy to them, and the actions that brought the Frey conclaves to the human cities was unheard of for generations. Living with humans has changed part of this aspect of the Frey lives, but as human friends grow old and die, they are reminding of their longevity.

The center of Frey in Anistyre is Caer Blackwood. Every Frey that lives in a conclave has journeyed to Cear Blackwood at least once in their life. It is a mystical place rarely visited by humans, built half in the trees of the wood and half underground, so that there is little sign of it from the floor of the woods. Here the Frey live in harmony with nature, with the Druids acting as their spiritual guides.

They Frey have no skill with iron or steel, but are masters of wood, cloth and leather. Those true Frey who have not been tempted by iron of men use ironwood weapons and armor, magically enchanted to be as hard or harder than steel. [edit] History with Humans

The Frey-ohani have a strange history with humans. When they first encountered humans, they were very cautious, limiting their contact to only a few select diplomats. These diplomats would make trade deals for the iron and steel products that the human produced (and apparently the Frey did not) for their wooden crafts. Humankind pressed for a greater relationship, and was met with resistance, until a group of Frey, lead by one of the diplomats, disappointed at her peoples lack of interest in the opportunity presented by humans, lead a contingent to found a Frey conclave in Menthras. Since that time, several other conclaves have been set up in other major human cities to act as centers of trade and communication between the two people.

The intermingling of human and Frey has lead to several changes in both societies. Humans were introduced to Arcane Magic by the Frey which the humans developed into their two schools of magic. It was also learned that Frey and Humans could interbreed. Many such offspring never live more that a few days, but as time passed, more and more survived. These “half-bloods” have caused many a problem for both races. Retrieved from "http://www.otakalypse.com/rocksfall/index.php/The_Frey-ohani"
