Duellin

-This page is a WIP!-

Duellin are one of the seven sentient races that inhabit Torr and the wider universe of Torvus. Duellin are the only race that does not naturally possess any form of magic and does not display a preference for magic or technology-based practices.

Physiology

Habitat

Culture

Duellin are a usually passive yet proud race, who pride themselves on being excellent in two main areas: fishing, and fighting.

Magic

Duellin are unique in that they are entirely without magic. As magic is inherited, they are unable to gain it through conventional means. Very rarely, the Ascension will gift magic to individuals that do not already possess it: the only time this has happened to a Duellin is spoken of in the legend of Ser'ran, a Duellin who gained the sea god's favour by single-handedly fighting off a Lith battle unit which was attempting to destroy a Seashrine. It is said that descendants of Ser'ran inherit her magic, but during the (insert terrible disaster to befall the Duellin here), Ser'ran's only surviving relatives perished.

Technology

Duellin are often looked down upon by the other races due to their virtually nonexistant use of modern technology: this is largely due to their contempt for the Lith, who were known to be the most technologically-advanced race before their mysterious disappearance. The Duellin attribute the Lith's downfall to their reliance on technology and as a result are very mistrustful of electronic devices of any kind. This doesn't bother the Duellin; they are very happy to continue spending their lives by the sea, making a living largely as fishers and tradespeople. Many Duellin leave their home towns and villages to work as mercenaries or to take part in organized fighting, although the latter is considered a crime in many regions.
