History

The Numen are a race of beings descended from otherworldly travelers. Long lived and seldom born, Queen Marika the Eternal is the primary exemplar of this race in many aspects.

The Numen are commonly associated with divinity similar to how Omen once were in the long past. Now commonly referred to as Demigods, Empyreans, and Divine Proxies of Gods.

Numen are always born from at least one other Numen, and have dominant enough traits, that unless completely alien compared to Humans, will birth a Numen. Such races are: Animal Folk, Draconic Folk, Goblinoids, and Orcs.

Appearance

Numen have nothing about them that truely sticks out compared to humans, aside from their eyes and height.
