Visiru

The Visiru are a race of humans, who have settled in the south of the continent. The capital of their city is Visiruim, a port city where the Visiru first landed after fleeing their homeland.

Physical Traits
Your typical Visiru is taller and broader than your normal human race. They are physically superior to the other human races, in both size and athleticism. The average male height is around 6'2", while females are typically 5'8" tall. Most of the Visiru have blonde hair, usually kept somewhat long. Those not born with golden hair sport a jet black mane. Among the Visiru, they are known as the Yosta (or night children). They wear no tattoos or piercings on their bodies, believing them to be imperfections on their bodies (which made the Ketrabi practice of tattooing their slaves that much worse).

History
See Visiruim.

Government
From the time of their arrival, to the invasion of the Ketrabi, the Visiru were ruled by a monarchy. The most famous clan to rule were the von Heimark's, who reigned until the very end of the first Visiru nation. Like most human societies, it was always the eldest son who would ascend to the throne upon the father's death. This rule provided smooth transitions (allthought the occasional younger son would try to rise up). When they were invaded in -296, the Ketrabi sought out each and every member of their clan, putting them to the sword, and ending the line forever.

With current King, Esoth Ulhammur, on his deathbed, controversy has surrounded his heirs. His eldest son by his wife, Jaan, is wildly unpopular in Visiruim for his passive approach for dealing with Ketrab. As a result, factions in the nation have flocked to his three brothers, and threaten to drive the Visiru into a civil war, and then right into a war with the people of Ketrab.

Magic
Unlike the Elves or the Ketrabi, the Visiru have a very rudimentary understanding of magic. They only have one school of mages, who have an very limited selection of simple spells they can do. It is estimated that fewer than 1% of the population would be considered as "magic users". Recently though, there has been an uptick in the ammount of magic users in the city, and the level of spells they can now cast. Officials have angrily dismissed this as cases of interbreeding with the Ketrabi, but there may be other forces at work.
