Middengard
is inhabited by several races. They are as follows;
Fremde:
The
original race of beings upon Middengard. They are also known as the
Fremdeleof (Fremde of the heart). That are very tall willowy folk,
much like tall trees. They have pointed ears, and it would be said
in later times that they had the ears of the fox, and the heart of
the wolf. Family is of the utmost importance to the Fremde, like the
wolf. And like the fox, they can be cunning, observant, adaptable,
sure-footed, and quick in thought and action. Vasdaefu (Father of
all) comes from the Fremde.
Fremdeoghe:
There
is only one, a fremdaoghe (female fremdeoghe) by the name of Mara,
one of the original three who asked the guardian for help to save her
world.
Fremdesae:
Descended
from the Fremde Mearganta, these are blue, and their feet turn to
fishes tails when they enter the water. They all have gills and can
breathe in or out of water.
A
male Fremdesae is known as a fremdosae, and is descended from a
dolphin, who strove to keep Mearganta out of trouble. The guardian
of water changed him into the first fremdosae when he agreed to care
for her. Fremdosai (Fremdesae men) are very virile and strong. They
are known as keepers of the sacred breath of life. They contain
nipples within their necks, and can suckle or breathe for any race.
Their milk is healing and provide whatever the one suckling needs.
Because of their great strength, fremdosai live by a high code of
ethics, and those who break the code are repudiated, and their
essence returns to the sea.
Vasdaonsae
(grandfather of the sea) comes from the Fremdosai. He is the leader
of all the Fremdesae, and can link to all male Fremdesae, can
communicate via the paths they create in their minds, and even take
over the minds of all in times of peril.
Like
the original fremdasae, Mearganta, fremdesai (Fremdesae women) tend
to be very beautiful, but very foolish and innocent until they are
subdued by their mate and have their first child. Because of this,
the guardian of the sea made it so fremdosai could tether these
foolish, innocent ones to their backs when need be. The fremdasai
also have a song that lures any but Fremdesae men, causing the men of
other races to become very aroused.
Fremdemyr:
Descended
from the Fremde, this race can turn into great birds when they will
it. They have been given the power of air, and are great thinkers
and seers. Wydaonmyr (grandmother of the sky) comes from the
Fremdemyr.
Fremdefyr:
Descended
from the Fremde, they are a matriarchal race of strong women, gifted
with the power of fire. The few men born to them generally become
Sotarafahni (genies). Wysdaefu (Mother of all), comes from the women
of the Fremdefyr. It is normally Wicahndon'n (The Empress of the
Sands).
Sotarifahni:
Sotarafahni
are all male, the counterparts to the women of the Fremdefyr. They
are shorter in stature however. They can turn into bright colored
dust balls and float where they will. They are a mischievous race
and are laughingly known as 'brats of the sands'.
Myende:
Race
of magical beings upon Middengard, they are the one race that depends
on staffs and wands to do magic. Some are descendants of the races
of the Fremde mating with Munde. However, others are descendants of
the Munde themselves, as magic was returned to the descendants of
Munde who lived well.
Munde:
The
only race of non-magical beings upon Middengard. Munde are the
shortest of all the races. They are a stocky built race, their
bodies seemingly built for hard work. Munde men are physically quite
strong. They came from the void the guardians created to save
Middengard.
