Race & Ethnicity

The race of a fae refers to the grouping of fae based on physical aspects, sometimes related to ethnicity but mostly distinct from species. These often include stereotypes around such races and play a major role in the culture around them.

The ethnicity of a fae describes their cultural descendance and heritage. While race is based on physical features, ethnicity is based on a deeper sense of shared culture, often from one's ancestry.

Race and ethnicity often overlap. However, race, ethnicity, and species are distinct, separate phenomena.

Ethnicity

Ethnicities in Luxtia primarily correspond to certain regions that existed prior to The Shattering. Fae of each ethnicity are thus the only living representations of their heritage.

Common ethnicities present in Luxtia include:

• Adori
• Luxtian
• Osirine
• Siro

Most fae are multi-ethnic, usually a mix of Adoria, Osirine, and Siro. Ironically, the rarest ethnicity in Luxtia is the Luxtians.
