**************************************************
Earth Drakin
**************************************************

For those that like to play a pure tank they will LOVE this race. These guys tear up the battlefield and often barely leave with a scratch. Theyhave the highest str/end of all the races and the highest starting defense. They have awesome resistances and when using absolute defense (AD) are like an immoveable mountain. For times that don't require AD, they have nature's might (NM) which boosts health, strength, and defense. However they don't have much mana so you won't be able to use AD together with NM until you are at higher levels. When you reach that pinnacle however, you will be able to stand against an entire army. They are also master smiths so you will enjoy the extra armor and damage they can get from equipment. Due to their closeness to nature they are able to detect life around them and are able to use ultravision in the dark. Great for new people to the game.


**************************************************
Fire Drakin
**************************************************

While not quite the physical powerhouse of the Earth race, these firery people of the north come in second in terms of raw strength and destructive power. From birth they are trained in the art of combat. They are masters of the blade and excel in destruction. They are immune to fire and have a constant fire shield to protect them from harm. They have several powerful spells such as illuminate which will greatly light areas. Blaze is a great single target spell and firestorm will surround enemies in a raging inferno. Their stats are all well balanced which allow for both weapon and magical combat. This is a great race for those who like a powerful fighter / mage combo.


**************************************************
Dark Drakin
**************************************************

The Dark Drakin are a result of when the God of Death took several Light Drakin and then tortured and twisted them for centuries. Now converted to his dark ways they dedicated to the black arts and relish in the art of destruction. To help further his cause their God has bestowed upon them the Blessing of Death. This powerful ability helps shield them from virtually every element and makes them immune to poison and disease. In addition they have several deadly spells to help them even further. They can animate their dead enemies to form a powerful army, life tap will drain an enemies health while replenishing their own. Death & Decay is one of the most deadly spells in the game which will drain an enemies health, fatigue, and magicka all in one blow. Death's Embrace is a AOE version of DnD. The one major drawback is because they are so dedicated to destruction they are forbidden from using any spells from the restoration line. This is a very powerful fighter / mage combo whose dark abilities can turn the tide of battle instantly.


**************************************************
Light Drakin
**************************************************

Completely dedicated to the faithful calling of Akatosh these Light Drakin often find themselves in trouble. Yet Akatosh does not turn a blind eye to his faithful and he has bestowed upon his beloved powerful abilities. The Blessing of Akatosh is one of the best passive abilities in the game. They are masters of restoration and the healing arts and can often be found wondering the world spreading their faith and healing the sick and injured. As a sign of faith they have sworn not to use swords of any type and are resrticted to blunt weapons only. While not as good a warrior as other Drakin they have several powerful spells at thier disposal and excel at destroying the undead. Renewal is a heal over time spell which also cures poison, disease, and paralysis. Holy Healing is a powerful healing spell. Holy Light not only brightens the area, but also has the effect of turning any undead in the area. Ashes to Ashes is a damage over time spell which also has the effect of turning any undead. This is a poweful fighter / cleric combo. They also have the best balanced stats of all Drakin.


**************************************************
Air Drakin
**************************************************

These mysterious Drakin are not often seen. They have several abilities at their disposal which help is many different cicumstances. They make excellent rogue / mage combos. They are immune to shock spells and have a constant aura of eletricity to help protect them. They are masters of the bow and specialize in thief skills and wear light armor. Their ethereal form will turn them into their air form for a short time and grant them complete invisability while greatly increasing speed and agility. However they loose all strength this way. They can hurl a bolt of lightning to stun their enemies or summon a powerful lightning storm for area affect damage. They do not make very good warriors as they are not very strong nor sturdy.


**************************************************
Water Drakin
**************************************************

The Water Drakin have completely dedicated themselves to the mystical arts. In the ways of magic they are unmatched. They are so attuned to the magic around them that they simply absorb all spells cast at them, however due to such dedication their bodies have become very frail and they take an additional 50% damage from physical attacks. They gain a large bonus to starting magicka which allow them to fling spells left and right. They have an ice shield which helps protect them from harm and several deadly spells at their command. Cripple is a nasty spell which will drain a targets fatgiue, magicka, and paralyze them for a short time. Elemental Fury is a poweful single target spell and Elemental Maelstorm is a very powerful AOE spell. This race if for a more advanced player as they can die rather quickly when mobbed.
