Silvirae Fox
UPDATE TIME! this is a new race.
The Silvirae or Silvira for singular are one of several races of fox in the Aether, they stand on average about 3 feet 8 inches or so, are colored gray-ish silver or a slate-like color, with black markings and a white muzzle, belly, and socks. They can trace their lineage to that of the ancient For foxes who settled long ago [though they also have a strong affinity to the Aer element too], they make their home in the Silverwood, a region in the Aether, it is noted for the trees there, primarily Silverwood hence the namesake, it was named such for the fact the bark is a brilliant shining blue-ish color, and the leaves a glistening silver, they are very magical plants, the grass in the region is said to glow and be a pale light green, brimming with mana like the trees, which usually manifests as glowing orbs or stars.
Their long existence in this environment granted their kind an advanced affinity with magic, their adaptation and evolution here means they are very prone to whatever disrupts magic, draining the magic from a Silvirae is fatal, where to most other races, it makes them weak and sick. While many would see this as a weakness, the trade-off, is they are VERY powerful magic users, and psychics, famed throughout antiquity for being the best in the mystical arts.
Most of the time, they live in safety and peace, while they have their reputation in the world, they are quite secluded and keep to themselves, outside of trade and exploration every so often. They are a peaceful race and avoid war when possible, but aren't afraid to fight if need be, and In times of war or when an invading power comes, they are sought after for being one of the most powerful and magically adept species, It's not hard to imagine the implications and use for such in a fight, they're also very good at guerrilla warfare tactics as well.
The outfit Trask wears is a typical garment a Silvirae would have worn, a light tunic robe-like outfit made of a special Silverweave and Nynfabric, and a flowing scape/cloak, which are magically treated to work as wings thanks to transmutation magic, with a belt, complete with a piece of fabric that drapes down over the front of the legs, also optinally with a wide-brimmed hat, whether mimicking real world cavalier hats, or wizard hats, can be adorned with a feather or leaf, and generally can carry crystals and other such things. The materials are magically bonded to be like armor in protection, and are immensely durable against harmful magic, but light and comfy like luxurious fabric, the perfect attire for mages in their society due to the fact it primarily boosts the magical power of the wearer. It's designed to be light as they like to be mobile and unrestricted, although standard armor is made of Metoro, or Steeleaf, literally large and small leaves treated to be like steel plates, they tend to stand in stark contrast to the rest of the world they exist in, looking very druid-like and natural, It's very flexible and easy to move in, but strong.
The colors of their outfits do carry meaning and purpose, firstly, camouflage in the forests, as they are colored, both in fur, and in garb, just like that place, secondly, symbolically, it represents the closeness to the Aether, the Silver/Gray/Blue represents the sky, the clouds, and the water, the Teal/Black represents the attachment to the ground, the earth, etc. Thirdly, it stems from the fact they fashion their outfits and armor from the local flora, which all tend to be that color, they also believe the Silverwood they protect and nourish, protect and nourish them in return, like a symbiotic relationship. It is also said, that while within the Silverwood, they replenish mana at a much increased rate than usual, as opposed to anywhere else, making them much tougher and more powerful in their homeland.
As far as culture goes, they might seem very primitive at first sight, but they also welcome technology, and generally keep a good standing as far as advancement goes, though their mastery of magic easily compensates for any holes their tech does not cover. They're very similar to fantasy elves, mixed with bits and pieces of human cultures all over the world, they treasure the natural world very deeply, and have made sure all of their magical and scientific breakthroughs also do not negatively harm the Silverwood. They generally are known to export many kinds of magical material, and their own special unique cultural products.
