Karnal

(Pronounced Car-Null)

Overview

These extraordinary beings bear a striking resemblance to the humans of Earth. With hair that varies in hues of black, blonde, gray, red, sage green, and even light purple, they are a living testament to nature's boundless creativity. What sets the Karnals apart from the humans of our world is their astonishing longevity, living for a remarkable 275 years.

Karnals possess a unique blend of skills, from above-average strength and speed honed through their daily toil in the fields to proficiency in the arcane arts. Yet, it's their charm that truly sets them apart, as they rely on the art of diplomacy before resorting to violence.

History & Lifestyle

The Karnals came to Basilda’an during The Great Awakening. They are incredibly sociable and outgoing people, deeply rooted in family and community ties. They’re widely known as devoted agricultural stewards, responsible for supplying the nearby cities with a wealth of fruits and vegetables. At the start of each season, towns of Karnals across the world will host Harvest Festivals. These are parties to celebrate the passing season, bless the incoming growing season, and simply be with friends and family. People across Basilda’an travel to these festivals to feast, revel in camaraderie, and fill the air with the joyful melodies of song.

Karnals are spread evenly across the regions of Basilda'an, but the greatest gatherings can be found in the capital city, New Daenan, and the farmlands of the Golden Plains. Besides these two places, they primarily settle in the southern continents of Basilda'an, where their land cultivation thrives.

Temperament

Karnals are inherently warm, kind, and compassionate individuals, displaying both empathy and sympathy for others, often taking the lead in offering a helping hand to those in need. Because of their outgoing and magnetic personalities, people are naturally drawn to them. Nevertheless, like many species across the world, they too grapple with the temptation of greed and power, occasionally resorting to any means necessary to fulfill their desires.
