CREATURES & BEINGS
Who Lives in the Fractured Universe?
The Fractured universe is home to mortals, immortals, shapeshifters, celestial warriors and beings whose abilities blur the boundaries between magic and nature. Here are some of the races and creatures you’ll encounter along the way.
FAY
Vampires
Beautiful, fast and incredibly strong, vampires exist as protectors of the human race. Their gifts allow them to sense emotion, influence how others feel and ease pain, making them both formidable guardians and powerful supernatural beings.
SHAPESHIFTERS
Sirens
Sirens are bird-human hybrids able to shift between human, winged and partial forms. Their voices carry supernatural power, allowing them to influence and compel those who hear them.
SHAPESHIFTERS
Changelings
Animal-human shapeshifters whose abilities depend on their species. Wolves possess formidable strength and mental resilience, while cheetahs are exceptionally fast, cunning and dangerous.
ELEMENTAL
Elves
Tall, magically gifted and deeply connected to the earth, elves are skilled at blending magic and creating powerful talismans. Some can enter another person’s consciousness or create extraordinarily convincing dream worlds.
CELESTIAL
Warrior Angels
The only angels to possess wings, Warrior Angels are natural protectors and formidable fighters. They form the Battalion, defending Empyrean and the wider realms from dangerous threats.
SHAPESHIFTERS
Hympes
Remarkable shapeshifters able to transform into almost any creature or object. Each Hympe also possesses a unique individual gift, making their abilities as varied as their personalities.
MORTAL
Witches
Humans with access to magic, often working within covens where their combined power makes them stronger. Their abilities can include spellcraft, elemental magic and the use of powerful words.
DIVINE
Gods
Powerful supernatural beings whose gifts vary enormously from one individual to another. Some move freely between realms and wield abilities that place them among the most formidable beings in existence.
MORTAL
Humans
The inhabitants of the Mortal Realm. They may lack the natural supernatural abilities of other races, but that certainly doesn’t mean they are powerless in this world.
