Description: Duine appearance varies the most out of any of the Elder races, their skin color can range from pale white to dark black, their hair and eye color runs the entire gambit of the rainbow and their physical structure varies just as widely.

Their fashion choices are just as varied as their appearances, some emulate other races and others blend different ideas and techniques to create new forms of clothing.
Lore: The first Duine were actually Yazatans who lost their grace when they decided to join the mortal world. After Yaldabaoth’s betrayal, Hyperion allowed the Uthra to cleanse their memories and live on as mortals, creating the second generation of the Duine. They are infamous for inborn wanderlust, they rarely stay settled in cities for long and prefer to roam to new environments, some each cycle and some after a few or more. Although short-lived, Duine curiosity and ingenuity has led to some enterprising inventions as well as quite a few infamous debacles. They are the most populous race amongst the Eldari, and the only one to establish outposts throughout all the known Eldari worlds.

​Lore: The children of Rudra, the Kinnara are the guardians and caretakers of Svarga, a jungle world interspersed by elevated plateaus of wide open plains. Kinnarans build their cities on the steppes or the tops of mountains, for even they fear the beasts created by their over-eager God. Although generally peaceful, Kinnarans share a devotion to their world similar to the Lutins, something many selfish Duine have learned to their fatal detriment.

Korrigans love heavy, steel plate which makes their already tough frames nearly impervious to blows in battle. When it comes to weapons Korrigans have a preference for heavy maul weapons or axes and there is a furious debate amongst their race as to which is the better weapon. Korrigans will wear checkered kilts and tweed or quilt jackets for festive occasions but usually wear grey somber clothes that blend well with dust and soot stains obtained from the tunnels and mines found throughout Rocabarriagh.
Lore: The masters of the Mountains and the only race brave or foolish enough to try to settle in the underworlds of other planets. Famous for their love of mining and masonry, the Korrigan are the most proficient miners and builders amongst the Eldari. They are masters of enchanting though they share this proficiency with the Zduhac who are the best smiths and metallurgists in the cosmos. Korrigans maintain thriving underground communities as well as the overland fortresses which secure them from invasion and have created systems of tunnels linking their communities.

Some lutins dual wield small curved blades instead, opting for a more offensive but dangerous fighting style.
Lore: Gifted woodsman, Lutins have always excelled in guerilla style warfare. While Korrigans will charge in formation, Lutins lie in wait and pick enemies off in bunches while retreating into the woods when conflict grows heavy. While mocked as cowards for this style of fighting, all come to fear entering a Lutin forest unannounced with evil intent in their hearts or minds. Their skill with dueling with swords is unparalleled amongst the eldari races. Lutins natural connection to the forest makes them frequent druids with most powerful hailing from this woodland race.

​Description: A draconic, humanoid race covered with different color scales, although wingless, they possess tails and claws which make the ignorant view them as bestial and savage. There are three main colorations of Zduhać, Malinov are covered in dark red scales similar to crimson dragons, Lazurn have silvery-blue scales reminiscent of Azure dragons and Zolot are the most striking, their bodies are covered in golden scales similar to those found on Radiant Dragons. Most prefer to wear suits of finely crafted metal, thinner than the thicker plate of Korrigans and more flexible as well. These metal suits do not hinder movement, allowing a Zduhać to spin, slice and parry with their enchanted greatswords at blinding speeds unbelievable for such a large mortal.
Lore: Once a group of praetors who dared dive into the abyss, they were forever altered by the experience. Guardians of Lukomorye and Hyperborea the Zduhać are one of the most militaristic races found amongst the Eldari.
