Nehrim:Races

Races

In Nehrim, there are six different races, but there are only three available for the player character.

Alemanne

The largest tribe in Nehrim, and they were once the first settlers on the continent. From them rose the old Nordic Kings who ruled over Nehrim aeons ago before they had to yield to the gods, the Light-Born. However, after the death of the god Erodan one thousand years ago, these folks managed to flourish again. Many of them are educated, skillful craftsmen and architects.

Normanne

They are a harsh and taciturn tribe that populated the dense forests and expansive tundras of Vyn. Normans have the habit of never staying in one place for longer than necessary. However, since there aren't many of them in Nehrim, they adapted to the Alemanni style and integrated into the society. Although they originate from the Nordic kingdom, many of them are also found in the central part of the country.

Notable humans: Barateon, Merzul, Callisto, Taranor

Half-Aeterna

Half breed mix of humans and Aeterna. Superior skills in magic allowed them to leave their home and populate Vyn. Although they are outlawed in the world of Vyn, they are a proud and tough tribe. Their magic skills are not as strong, but these crossbreeds are not often treated as being different and are more likely to be integrated into society.

Notable Half-Aeterna: Kim, Narathzul Arantheal, Narel

Non-playable races

Aeterna

An elven-like race, apparently scorned and/or feared by the humans living in Nehrim. An underclass. They are magically gifted; thus, humans fear that they might pose a threat to their dominance. Therefore, they are hanged for petty crimes, denied work, and even forbidden to shop in public places. They are left with no choice but to live in seclusion. Aeterna are easily recognizable due to their long ears and bright eyes. The Aeterna share their hope for Narathzul Arantheal's rise to power, as it would strengthen their position in society. Humans can easily recognize the Aeterna as they typically react negatively to this race.

Despite the lore, the Aeterna do not exist in the construction set.

Intended Aeterna: Kim, Narathzul Arantheal, Narel, The Light-Born

Sternling aka the Star People

These are referred to as 'dwarves' by surface people due to the fact that they live in an underground city, Anku. According to Callisto, they are very suspicious of any strangers and definitely do not approve of being called 'dwarves'. There are not many of them still alive, because many of their people have died through the millennia. The Star People's lifelong dream is to find the course back to their home planet located somewhere among the stars. Their appearance is not what we usually associate with dwarves, as they have rather oval or round faces and pointed ears. According to Haimon, the Star People are open to visitors. Unfortunately, it is the 'upper' world that regards them as fierce, tight-lipped miners, and therefore, 'surface' people stay away from them.

Notable Sternling / Star People: Kalrador, The Conductor, the Star King

Korinther

The Korinthians live in the hot regions of Vyn. With their dark skin color, they differ greatly from the appearance of the other two human races. Raised under the scorching sun of the great sand desert, they are quick-footed and skilled in taking down larger opponents. Their strength lies primarily in sword fighting and wearing light armor. In Nehrim, nearly all Korinthians live in Ostian.

Notable Korinther: Balgo, Nihan, Musana, Amanda

Starting attributes and skills

Unlike Oblivion, the sex of the player character makes no difference in the starting attributes, while the races have only a marginal effect, with only the Normanne having a noticeable difference, compared to the other two playable races. The Normanne race has higher Strength and Endurance, slightly more suited for a melee fighter. The Normanne will not gain more Magicka when the level is raised each, as long as Intelligence is below 40. The other two races will gain at least (40/10)= 4 magicka every time the level is increased.

Notes

• The playable Half-Aeterna race is actually named Aeterna1. It is unknown why Sure Ai set up this race in this way.
• There is no Aeterna race in the construction set.
• '#' refers to the number of references or instances of the editor ID. The '*' means this includes NPCs, races, and leveled lists in the count.
