Idonites

Idonite
Once upon a time in a strange tale, a great and powerful race of magical beings scorned their gods and were struck with a powerful curse, altering their form into an embarrassing short stature and stripping them of their magical ability, the Idonites were born into the world. Or so the story goes...

Idonites are a mysterious people from the far west who were seemingly native to Heidhelm. Their random nature leads most to be suspicious and sometimes hostile.

When the humans came to colonize northern Heidhelm, they ended up enslaving the Idonite people, causing a great tension and eventually enough controversy to free the people. Those who weren't thrown into slavery however were shipped off to the eastern lands into camps to hold them.

Physical, Mental and Magical ability
The idonites are weak and lack any magical ability, yet are a smart, industrious people. The idonites were quick to pick up on firearm manufacturing and after the slavery controversy passed, they were also quick to further technology in the west.

Relations to Other Races
The only real relations the idonites have is towards the humans, who enslaved them, genocided them and stole their lands. The idonites in turn began to hate the humans, and after the slavery controversy ended, they moved towards the southern regions to avoid humans.

Otherwise, idonites and the other races currently have no relations beyond indifference and suspicion. Only recently have they began to migrate.
