The largest bipedal creatures on Halestia are the jurens. Their era of prosperity has faded under the march of time, but nevertheless they carry on. They believe that Vecia, the Lady of Fate, has instilled in them a spirit sensitive to the flows of time, and they remain the most competent astronomers. They are wise, strong, and peaceful.

Physiology

A juren can stand up to an impressive 16′ tall. They have a very slow metabolism. Jurens generally live not more than 200 years.

  • Enormous: Jurens tower over the other races. Bigger hits, harder falls. They're considered Size 5. This isn't always a boon as a juren will have great difficulty fitting into buildings and underground ("Table for five, please. Oh, and some space out back for the juren").
  • Temporal Adept: Jurens are very conscious of the flow of time. Using celestial bodies and plain old gut feeling, Jurens can determine the exact time until sunrise or sunset. They can also determine cardinal direction very easily. +2 to Search when navigating outdoors under good conditions.
  • Unrelenting: A juren is capable of walking for very lengthy durations with a load. +4 to Stamina to avoid any movement-related exhaustion.
