A Glossary of the Lands of Ralosia: The Bandit Saga
A glossary of various things within the Lands of Ralosia. This is meant to be supplemental material, for those who are interested in the world I've created, or want certain aspects to be cleared up. This may be adjusted or edited in the future, but the core if it will remain them same.
Major Species
Ralosians
Beings believed to have been created in the image of the Goddess Ralosia. Varying light and dark skin colors, generally staying around a sand color. In essence, they are human beings like us. But the limits of their strength far exceed ours. They are capable of increasing their strength through rigorous training, exercise, and hardship. Weapons are of no use to individuals who have improved their constitution enough.
The majority of the Lands of Ralosia is populated by Ralosians. Dialtown acts as the largest Ralosian city in the world.
Dama, The Headmistress of the Fighting Academy, is considered to be the strongest of all Ralosians in the world as of Age 988.

Phantine
Beings with elephant like features. Large flappy ears, bulky bodies, stubby fingers, tusks, trunks, and circular feet. Many of them prefer forests or densely wooded areas, but many have taken to the city life that Ralosians tends towards. They typically avoid especially hot or cold areas like the Weld Mountains or Ichino Tundra. Like Ralosians, they are capable of the increasing their strength through rigorous training.
Some tend toward a tribal lifestyle, with the strongest of a specific group acting as chief and defending everyone. Chief Theo of Titus Forest is considered to be the strongest of all the Phantine in the world as of Age 988.
Sometime after finishing the story, I discovered that they bare a striking resemblance to Loxodons from Dungeons and Dragons.
Herbivorous
Lifespan: 50-70 years
Pronunciation: Fan- Teen
Notable members: Nout, Cmar, Orville, Theo, Koka, Nagi
Mecarne
Described with having reflective, metal like flesh, smooth and slender features, sharp teeth, a small appendage along their backs that aid in swimming through all manner of substances. A metal sheen to their skins, with varying colors. They possess an imperviousness to heat and cold. Some have learned how to store heat and cold within their bodies and release at will.
Due to their impervious to heat and cold, many live in the hottest and coldest places in the world. Volcanoes, icy mountains, tundra, and deserts. Though they are no stranger to the less extreme locales in the world. They are particularly adept through swimming in water, sand, and even lava. Due to this ability, they often find themselves employed as hand on sailboats or sand ships. Many are employed as blacksmiths as well, or as prison guards in the ice prison up north.
Like Ralosians, they are capable of the increasing their strength through rigorous training.
Therma of the Weld Mountains is considered to the be the strongest of all the Mecarne as of Age 988.
Lifespan: 65- 85 years
Pronunciation: Meh- Car- Nay

Densius
Being comprised entirely of rocks, dirt, clay, and other pieces of earth, with some form of Heartstone at the center of their being.
To create a Densius, a Heartstone ritual most be undertaken. This usually requires something to act as a Heartstone, and enough earthy materials to form a body around them. Eyestones typically contain irises with a color similar to their heartstone. A densius with ruby as it's Heartstone would likely have red eyes.
A Densius can bond pieces of earth to it's body, and in whatever manner it wishes. Though at first, it may need help from other Densius, at least until it learns how to bond earth to it's body on it's own.
A Densius can form their body however they wish. Most tend to form their bodies into a humanoid shape, they can take on more beastlike proportions, or even give themselves additional limbs. The downside is that pieces of their bodies may fall away from them. Though it can always be replaced. While Densius can form their bodies using dirt or clay, most tend towards stones for its solidity.
Typically, a Heartstone is some sort of gem, such as a ruby, sapphire, emerald, diamond or amethyst. However, it is not limited to this. Some have used gold, silver, opals, and even hardened clay as a Heartstone. There is no telling the limit of what can used as one. However, it is best for a Densius to have a sturdy heartstone, for it is damaged, even slightly, it could kill them. If a Heartstone is left intact, a Densius can be reborn. In this case they'll lose most memories of their previous life and start anew.
It typically takes a decade for a Densius to learn how to speak properly. Though they're capable of understanding speech much sooner.
Denius do not require sustenance of any kind, nor do they sleep. As such they are very social beings. Isolation over a long stretch of time can drive a Densius feral.
There is no known age where a heartstone begins to gave out. It is believed that if a Densius stays out of danger and their heartstone remains intact, they have the potential to live forever. Dimon, a Densius who has lived over 400 years, has done so through caution. Amethi, the oldest known Densius at over 700 years, has done so through it's incredible strength.
Similar to Ralosians, Densius are capable of increasing their strength over time. However, it is tied to their heartstones, not the body surrounding it. A weak Densius's body may brittle and easy to fall apart. A strong Densius's body will be sturdy, and capable of weathering great damage.
Densius tend to live around areas with an abundant supply of stones so they may build and repair their bodies at any time.
