[edit] Mahrdians
Malevolent to the bone, Mahrdians reflect their elemental trait of coldness.
[edit] Personality
Mahrdians are cold, heartless and cruel. According to their philosophy, the strong deserve to lead and the weak have no choice but to follow or die. Their society is based on a strict hierarchy that is enforced with an iron fist. Law inforcement is performed on a "shoot first, ask questions later" base and any Mahrdian who is not in a position of authority will show a remarkable amount of docility. Mahrdians see the other races as "vermin that we haven't had time to exterminate yet". Given the opportunity, the Mahrdians would wipe out all other races and rule Eles-Perdna alone. This attitude is held by almost the entire population. Mahrdians value efficiency, but can't resist to add some pompousness as well.
[edit] Physical Description
Mahrdians stand between 5 1/2 and 7 feet tall and have bulky muscular builds. Males are noticeably taller and heavier than females. Their skin colour has a strong shade of blue to it. Their hair is always coal black and most males bear mustaches and small beards. They have no visible irises in their eyes; just a large black pupil in empty white.
[edit] Relations
Mahrdian art is generally considered tasteless by any foriegners.
Salandrians are native to Eles-Perdna and co-exist with Sirilians, Irinsians, Salandrians, Karnins, Sarandors, Tanathans, Zurrens and Lumins.

[edit] Racial Traits
- Size: Medium
- Base Land Speed: 30 ft
- Low-Light Vision: A Mahrdian can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight and similar conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
- Weapon Familiarity: Mahrdians are automatically proficient with heavy and light maces and warhammers.
- Stun (ex): A Mahrdian gets the stunning fist feat as a bonus feat. Furthermore, the feat can be used with any bludgeoning weapon, rather than only just an unarmed strike.
- Slow metabolism (ex): +4 on Fortitude saves against poison and disease. Any poison and disease also takes twice as long as normal to affect a Mahrdian.

The abilities are cumulative and usable once per day, unless otherwise noted. Caster level equals the Sarandor's HD and the save DC is Intelligence based.

[edit] Notes
Some spells in the spell-like abilities are derived from the Spell Compendium.
All the races of Eles-Perdna are part of a homebrewed campaign. However, they can be easily adapted to any setting. All you need is one or more planes with strong elemental traits (such as elemental planes or the abyss) and have some adapted humanoids live there.
