Insect race

Race insect

Insects -- the endless class of small chitinous citizens of Thera. Beetles, ants, bees, wasps, and much else you'd rather not inspect closely without a net.

Many fly, all are fast and hard to swat. Chitin keeps disease out, and an insect's thoughts are too scattered to charm -- mental magic doesn't take. Fire, though, warps the chitin in an instant, and cold locks it up no less -- in summer the bee stings, in winter it doesn't leave the hive.

You can find them anywhere -- from Temple of Themis to Zoo of Midgaard. They're rarely a serious threat, except when what bites you is large, venomous, and both at once.
