| Description | The siirthex stand about seven feet tall. They have moss-like silver fur all over their bodies, with clawed hands and feet, beady green eyes, and a gold, bony ridge that runs from their foreheads to their middle backs, like a mane of bone. Their snouts are vaguely sheeplike, and their teeth are usually ruddy copper. The females have red stripes of fur running from their eyes to their ears. |
| Procreation | With each other. Follows the mother with other thex. |
| Magic | One in a million have soul magic, one in five million have soul magic. Mind and body magic are possible, as is void. Faith is not uncommon. |
| Special Powers | The siirthex absorb argentfire. In order to survive, they must find the rare spots it occurs naturally, attracting it with their bone-mane (called a conductive plate). If they are completely charged, they are able to grab argentfire instead of absorbing it. Female siirthex have the ability to see lifeforce patterns if they close their eyes. Male siirthex have in childhood the ability to speak to souls. They lose this ability in adolescence, but gain the ability to regenerate quickly once they are grown. The siirthex are immune to argentfire damage. |
| Weaknesses | The siirthex die without argentfire sustenance, but it must be natural, and they are susceptible to undeath. |
| Culture | The siirthex are nomadic, searching the world over for the rare natural springs of argentfire that fuel an area's growth and energy. They are often found in elven lands and in dense jungles and forests. They are kind to strangers and tend to welcome them in, seeking to understand them and commune with them. The women use their abilities to find where the strongest living things are, guiding the tribe to likely sources of food. The children commune with outsiders and seek to understand the realm, and the men defend the tribe when danger strikes. |
