High Pvethian

Overview.
High Pvethians were once the dominate race of the Kingdom of Pveth. While not the most populous, they were clearly the race that commanded authority and were nearly as diverse as the standard Human. Each of the Five original Kings before there was Pveth -- were of High Pvethian Blood.

Over the centuries after the formation of the Kingdom, High Pvethians have slowly died out. Not, of course from natural causes, but from assassinations, murders, and wars. High Pvethians by their very nature -- are paranoid creatures. With their inability to age -- they find worries of death in others means. And because of this, they went off on eachother slowly killing and assassinating eachother until only one family stood.

House DeAlmieda stands as the last house of true High Pvethian blood and are fittingly the royal family of Pveth.

Racial Abilities
