Arcanus Human

Arcanus (plural Arcani) or Magiborn is a Human race native Arcanaea, an island in the continent of Zir. They’re one of the only races on the island, along with the Paladin Order that watches over them. They have the innate ability to cast magic. They are called magiborn because of the the natural Vis that runs through their veins. Like the Mundi, they have developed a lesser resistance to fire, due to their brief time in Kenras. They also share an affinity with the Highscale race, though they aren't fond of their Mundan brethren and are resented by dwarves. They have a weakness of physical resistance.

Arcanaea
Arcanaea is an island that borders the north of Kenras. The island was first uninhabited by any humanoid race. After the Rise of Ruin, the necromancers and other Arcani were driven out of Kenras. They then sailed to the island. Given their varying powers, they prospered with ease on the island. However, the Varil Caian IV, the king of Kenras, let his paranoia get the best of him. He did not want them returning to Kenras. He made Mundi train in the arts of the ancient Paladin warriors, and then sent them over to Arcanaea to "watch over them."

Physiology
The Arcani are a race of Humans who, just like their Mundus siblings, usually are regarded as light-skinned, scruffy-haired, though not as tough. The Arcani have pure Vis flowing through them, untouched and not polluted by the external environment. This makes them able to learn magic quicker than other races, besides the Highscales. This also means that their source of Vis would take longer to grow weak than other races.

Culture and Society
The Arcani greatly look up to the Highscales as the original Magiborn race. Though they are under constant scrutiny of the Paladins, the majority of Arcani are happy to be able to learn and perform magic "freely."

The Arcanan pantheon consists of Valla, Serea, Impurio, and Enjemini, along with the rest of the Human pantheon. Each of the worshipped Divines are aspects to magic: space, time, power, and control. Valla and Serea oppose each other as the aspects of space and time, while Impurio and Enjemini are opposed as power and control. Two of the Ter Dahr, Ploahh and Niosebil, are also a part of their pantheon, due to their vast amounts of knowledge.

While some aim to learn for the sole purpose of learning, others learn to control, destroy, heal, protect, or whatever the reason.
