The Ivra: Another Race of Ortha


IVRA: The Airish Folk

 

     The most mysterious and elusive of the races, the Ivra have bodies of an exceptionally fine and articulate nature, so that they can be invisible, ride on the wind, or pass through solid matter. When they do assume visible form, they are tall, thin, and beardless, of a regular and flawless body type that varies little from person to person.

     Although they have many attributes that are generally associated with spirits, they are incarnate beings that are born, are vulnerable, and die. Though they can pass through solid matter, it is accomplished by an act of will and is not a constant quality of their nature; enchanted objects or places guarded by spells are impassable to the Ivra, even by these acts of will.     

     Invisibility is a rule of their nature; they assume visibility for any business with other races. They are nourished on sunlight and water and have no need of anything else. As a consequence, they have little to do with the other races or even the earth. They have no artefacts of any sort.

More can be learned about the Ivra by following the short story Eye of Darkness on this blog.
