| Description | Oryxians appear to be oryxes with human upper bodies and oryx head and horns. Their bodies are usually white or brown with brown or white undersides. They have very long, straight horns, tufted tails, and a shoulder hump. They have black stripes running along their necks and faces, with a black "beard" on the males. |
| Procreation | Follows the mother. |
| Magic | One in five million have heart or soul magic. Mind and body magic are possible. Void is possible. Faith is not uncommon. |
| Special Powers | Oryxians are fast, strong, and intelligent. They do not take penalties for bow shots. Their endurance is impressive, and they are known for their powerful horns. They are determined beings, hunting to defend their territories as much as to find food. |
| Weaknesses | Faunal magic or faith can hurt them. Their horns do not regrow if they break. |
| Culture | Oryxians live in herds on the savannas. The legend is that Vyarrah saw a herd of oryxes and thought to herself how noble a prey they would make, so she hunted them. Whilst enjoying her hunt, she provoked the First Oryx into fighting her, and he charged her without fear. His might horns actually managed to harm her (though it shattered them both), and she was so impressed, she turned the herd from prey to predators. As such, oryxians respect their prey greatly and hunt only for defense or food. |
