Quiviar, who studied and documented the races aeons ago, wrote:

"Barnesians are the most common folk you'll see around here. They're also the hardest to pin down a general 'look' to. That's probably because they can be so different while still looking like a Barnesian. Some are tall, short, dark hair, light hair. Some are gangly, like Sprites, others are as wide as they are tall!"

"I guess if I had to set down anything that makes a Barnesian a Barnesian, it'd be the way each and every one of them seems to fit into themselves. You never find a big Barnesian with a little voice, nor a grunt of a Barnesian that whines and complains a lot. Every Barnesian seems just have everything all fit together into a perfect package of... whatever."

The famous historian, Quiviar writes:

"Now Celts, they're pretty easy to spot. They're the one's that are very big and don't watch where they step. Believe me, I know. Most Celts stand at least six feet tall and some are as much as seven. They usually have very thick hair that covers most of their bodies. This is always a very strong brown, black, red, or blond. Most Celts have round feature since their muscles tend to smooth out their features. Your average Celt weighs at least 300lbs."

"Celts are barrel chested with thick, powerful arms. Not really bulging biceps, just... powerful. They usually grow thick, full beards and their voices are low and booming, especially when they want to make themselves heard. Life in those mountains must be tough, too, because Celts always have very deeply set eyes and their hands are as tough as leather."

Quiviar writes:

"In my many conversations with Doman-Roa about the other races, he showed no ill-will towards any of them, except Sprites. He spoke of Sprites as if they were pigs waiting to be slaughtered, how they served no real purpose in the world other than to teach the Celts which boot goes on which foot. Although I could not pinpoint if his hatred stemmed from anything personal, it seemed to be a general dislike of the species, and the other Felans in the pride seemed to readily agree. Because of this, the Felans don't mix to well with Celts or Sprites, however since the three races don't inhabit many similar places, the confrontation between the two is limited largely to words and speculation."

The famous historian Quiviar says of Kycors:

"If you want to see a Kycorian, go to a library. They'll be the one's with their noses in the books. You can't miss 'em. They're just a little shorter then average, probably most are about 5'4" and are almost as thin as Sprites seem to be. Their skin has a kind of blueish tinge and their eyes are a pale grey colour. Whatever their hair is, it's a very light colour and really thin."

"Kycorians have long fingers and pointy joints, especially their elbows. This faces are very long and thin, so their eyes are usually kind of close together. Also, their nose is shaped more like a smooth lump of flesh with nostrils then an upside down 7, which is kind of freaky to see at first. Their ears are also longer and start lower on their heads."

The famous historian Quiviar writes:

"The sprite are small and hard to catch sight of most of the time. They're usually scurrying about, dashing between someone's leg or hiding behind something. if you ever manage to get a pin through one of them and hold them in place, you'll notice they're about 2'6" on average and unlike most fairies, they have no wings. Instead they've got small, wiries frames and generally wear bright colours."

"Thanks to this, sprite can conceal all sort of weapons, like darts for example. Their skin is sort of a silvery white colour and their eyes are bright colours, always a pretty blue, green, yellow, orange, or mixture thereof. Generally, they have sharp features and a tuft of wild hair they never tend to. Their voices are very high and hurt to listen too for long."
