Clades

DarkWind

Darkwinder

The humans that live around Darkwind City are collectively known as Darkwinders. Darkwinders are about average among the civilized clades in terms of physical and mental powers, but are well accepted by most other cultures due to the importance of the city in world affairs. Darkwinders are outgoing and adventurous, always seeking out new experiences. They are also expert traders and negotiators. Being adventurous in nature, Darkwinder souls are more inclined to take on other forms. Thus, they do not suffer from reincarnating into other clades.
