For klyros "Their skin is similar to reptiles, being slimy and cold,"

That's amphibians  ;D Reptile's skin is scaly, dry and there body temperature depends on the temperature outside.


"The skeleton is thin and flexible to flight easier, but is easily damaged. Thanks to their body structure, the Klyros are fast in all three elements: air, water and earth."
"Thanks to their triple nature and their easy adaptability to environmental conditions,"

Well this really depends, seeing how they are more adapted to the water it would mean klyros would have a difficult time in dry areas like Oja. Unless they have water pouches on them :) They seem very well adapted to the water though so I won't complain there. Air though...Klyros can only glide for a short amount of time and I don't think it would be very graceful with their wings that small and weak.

_____

For enkidukai "They possess extraordinary acute senses, and excellent reflexes."

The males upper body is so large compared to their legs, they would simply fall down if they tried running and stopping. Their legs don't seem to bend well for running either.

_____

For dwarves "They have a strong pride that sometimes develops into feuds with other clans or other races. They tend to be suspicious and quarrelsome towards other races that are taller than they are."

No race is smaller then them.


I'll do more later when I have the time.

@ Falcon Avian

Klyros: I think the points "like a reptile" and "slimy and cold" are seperate. That is, it is scaly like a reptile perhaps, but slimy, and because they're probably cold blooded, it'd be cool.

Being light means they will be fast in their gliding, swimming, and running. Simple athlete mechanics.

Enkidukai: their legs are spritely footed, that is, they run on tiptoes. This increases agility massively, and also if need be they could do some sliding to change direction, using paws to dig a centre of torque. You're missing the main point though, and that is their speed of reflexes. This means they react to things quickly, not necessarily in stopping running, but in reacting to a sudden stab or slash etc.

Being tippy toed makes this a piece of cake.

Dwarves: Which dwarven race is that, HammerWielder or StoneBreaker? Because either/or, each has a race that isn't taller than it, the other dwarven race.

Klyros: That makes more sense.

They may be more light and Agile, but they don't seem to be very adapted for places away from water.

Enkidukai: Before I made this thread I remembered watching something on youtube which involved walking with the same leg structure as a enkidukai (Furry stuff). The people could not run with legs like that but could walk. But menki's upper body would cause balance problems.

Dwarves: Just said dwarves in general.

in place they are adapted.
about enkidukai you should also remember enki are born with those legs while the guys on youtube weren't :)

Not sure which one you were talking about first, but the enkidukai leg structure is not meant for running on two legs. Good for four legs but on two, you would have as much luck making your cat run on two legs.

That is standing or walking, but a cat cannot keep it's balance even if it was a bipedal animal for long if it had legs like an enkidukai.

I can run on tippy toes, works on the same principle.

And as has been said, I bet someone born with legs like that (and no other deformation ie. to muscles, weakening etc.) would be able to run.

Neither NPC related to the quest now knows anything about Falka.

Not sure if the free chat with NPCs is now rather limited after switching to the new questing system.

Actually there was someone who had their legs backwards, somewhat similar. She could walk, but could not run very well.

And running on your toes isn't really the same.

Iragdun Salikarios description says "A very large scar traces its way across his left eye" but texture shows the scar on his RIGHT eye.

For the enchant juggling ball quest, the balls change weight throughout the quest.

Meoeor and Vaieund deserve a table. I doubt that one can play Octarch's Chess on a pile of wood. A kind of "bamboo folding table" would be matching for traveling chess players, I believe.

From the player guide: "The seventh and eight level, both usually submerged, host the Nolthrir, an Elven race who have been attending the seaweed for thousands of years. With the influence of time and the Crystal, the Nolthrir evolved into an amphibious species, which enabled them to remain under water for long periods of time."

If its currently about 750 cycles AY then the Nolthrir would have to have been around prior to 0AY
Perhaps this translates to something different if expressed in cycles but I assume that *years* was supposed to be *cycles*
