| These species don’t exist as coherent species; rather, specific noble bloodlines have taken on their traits over the years, thanks to the magic funneled into their blood. The older the bloodline, the more inhuman they look. In general, these traits only “breed true” for recognized heirs of the bloodline; for instance, the child of a Tiefling lord or lady will generally look just as Tiefling-like as their Tiefling parent (or even more so), while the child of a bastard or an unlanded second child will look like a natural blend of their parents, with smaller horns and less strongly tinted skin, and if they go on have a child with a human, that child will be exactly as ¼ Tiefling as you might expect, and so on. | These species don’t exist as coherent species; rather, specific noble bloodlines have taken on their traits over the years, thanks to the magic funneled into their blood.

| In terms of terminology, most of these individuals would still be referred to as Human or Elven; they may cite their specific bloodline if pressed about their appearance, but wouldn’t consider that a species or racial distinction. However, they may face some prejudice from Revolutionary hardliners or preferential treatment from Royalists, even if they themselves are a bastard or otherwise have no reason to bear Royalist sympathies. | In terms of terminology, most of these individuals would still be referred to as Human or Elven; they may cite their specific bloodline if pressed about their appearance, but wouldn’t consider that a species or racial distinction.
