About the Baraka

The Baraka are spawns of magical creation from another world, the merging of giants in said world with elements like earth and metal, but in turning their backs on the giants' wars of conquest, they avoided their ancestors day of doom when their world was thrown off balance, destroying almost every race except for the Baraka. Baraka value knowledge of all kinds. They maintain libraries of the accumulated learning of their own people, drawn from all the world’s races and races from other worlds as well, in every city where they make their homes.

Despite their gentle nature and generally pacifistic philosophy, it would be a great error to suppose baraka are weaklings, for their other great hunger is for balance. Balancing mind and body means that every young baraka learns the arts of combat alongside the arts of knowledge. Like the amani, the baraka fiercely defend the weak and downtrodden. Due to their magical nature, their control over mana and capacity for mana are both vast in potential.

General Appearance

The Baraka are very similar to large, rotund humans except for the fact that they are composed entirely of metal or stone, depending on what type of Baraka they are. They are extremely durable and difficult to defeat physically, though they can be relatively slow and their reflexes are lacking. The Baraka's skin tone is determine entirely by what material they are partially composed of, such as what type of metal and what type of stone. They almost always have glowing blue eyes and facial hair carved from the stone or metal on their face.
