The mortal lineage

The mortal lineage is defined as all creatures descended from the Worm (Ouroboros). The members of this lineage are characterised by the fact that they all need to breathe, feed, mate and die. This lineage is by far the most common one on Tellus. The members of this lineage are fragile yet strong, because they were bred by the rules of nature; the survival of the fittest. They are considered foul and tragic by the Immortal Lineage, but they are also renowned for their efficiency at what they do, survive, as it takes much to survive in a world like Tellus. Because they have the ability to die, and instinctively fear death, it is common to underestimate the resolve of a mortal being facing death. They seem to be the most motivated, passionate, skilled and humble of the two lineages, although the least powerful. Most of them lack a natural tendency towards magic, but Humanoids, the most intelligent mortal creature and the only one on the same intellectual level as the lineage of immortals, have the ability to learn how to generate and control magic, although it's fairly rare even amongst their fighters. Though the members of the mortal lineage lack the raw power that magic provides, they are still comperable (though not nearly equal) to immortals in terms of their ability to fight. They are composed of non-magical materials, and run only on the material they can attain by slaying and devouring other forms of life.
