Lux Aeterna: Liltians

You need halflings?  We got something like halflings.


Liltian

The diminutive plant-like liltians can be found all over Terra.  While there are a few dominions which are ruled by liltian, it is far more common for liltians to be integrated into the principalities of other races.  The kingdom of Doma is perhaps the most famous liltian nations, as they were the first nation attacked by the then-new Garlmande Imperium and ground the legions' advance to a standstill until the civilians fled with the help of lunar merchants.  Though Doma eventually fell and was razed to the foundations as an example to other potential conquests, the astera-led Knights of Doma exacted a great price in Garlmandean blood, costing the Imperium five years while legions were rebuilt.  The 'Saga of Knight Cayenne' is the most widely known telling of Doma's fall.

There are three distinct kinds of liltian; the martial astera, the studious ataru, and the clever alafel.

The proud astera liltians are known for their fierce demeanour and thistle-like blossoms atop their head.  The ataru are better known as sages and magicians, with a variety of flower-like blossoms where mammals would have hair.  Lastly, the alafel are hardy tricksters, with tough skin and flowers resembling those of succulents.
