Lovalian
Tok People of the Frostlands
Much like the Canzians, the Lovalians are a fracture from the ancient Tok people, who longed for adventure and the desire to find a new more suitable land to call home. The Lovalians settled in the tranquil yet blustery mountain valleys and peaks of the northern lands, where peace and prosperity could be found for the people looking to escape civil unrest.

Lifespan
Despite their harsh environment, Lovalians have seen an extended lifespan compared to their other surface-Tok kin. These longer lives are likely due to their pacifist ideals and the cultural importance of social support, which has raised their maximum average life expectancy to be beyond 100 years.

⚘ Heritage
Regardless of an individual’s Culture, their ancestors likely come from one of the following groups which determines a few of their notable physical characteristics.
MAGNUN
The Lovalians from urban environements, primarily the seasonal valleys of Poraval, Oakenheim, and the Whistling Steppes
GRAAVEN
The rustic townsfolk and villagers who come from the sparser farmland and forested regions on the outskirts of the heavily populated Lovalian areas
FREEWIND
The more fringe Lovalians living in the Gilded Crescent, the western Loval mountains, and the least populated territories of central Lovalia
WINTERLAND
The survivalist Lovalians who persevere in the harshest, cold environments of the north: namely the Aurgelmir mountains, the northern tundra, and the ice wastes.
KRÜNDER
The Lovalians from the southern parts of the world, and those of mixed-Tok parentage.
Once the details for all the Heritage options have been fully written and edited, we will be providing all 10 species’ Heritage information at once.

Physicality
Body
Mostly thanks to their historically generous society and varied ecosystems in the north, the Lovalians’ bodies are fairly diverse. Each individual has the potential to reach the extremes of any body type, but it is very unlikely that a Lovalian’s body type will change drastically after they are fully grown, due to their Tok heritage.
Familial genetics and heritage play a large part in any individual Lovalian’s body type, so Lovalians who live in similar regions or have similar lifestyles often resemble each other.

Skeletal System
Lovalian frames have evolved to be much lighter than their other Tok relatives. Though scientific evidence should prove their unbelievably-light skeletons to be brittle, they are unusually resilient for how weightless they are. A Lovalian who stands around 8ft. tall weighs about the same as a comparable Willonian who is about 6ft.
Skin
Lovalian skin still retains its Tok resistance to difficult environments, though for them it is particularly effective in high winds and cold temperatures. Due to a historic lack of sun exposure, and a dire need to bundle up in layers of clothing, Lovalian complexions have lost a great deal of the otherwise bold Tok characteristics, both in hue and depth. They have become very desaturated, and in some cases even resemble the snow-covered rocks and cliffs of their homeland.
Wheat, Beige and Rose hues (left) are common in urban environments and non-native Lovalians
Slate and Sky hues (right) are common in rural and isolated communities.
Lighter values (top) are common in colder and high-altitude environments.
Darker values (bottom) are common in warmer and lower-altitude environments
Hair
Lovalian hair colors follow the same color chart as above, most commonly leaning toward the lighter half. It is never naturally darker than a light brown, but some urban Lovalians like to dye their hair, as their lighter tones take to dyes very well.
Lovalians retain the hair density of their Tok ancestors, but the strands have evolved to be incredibly soft and wispy. Lovalian hair grows quickly and must be groomed fairly often.
Eyes
Lovalians usually have light-colored eyes. The most common colors include Grey, Blue, Olive, Hazel, Honey, and Lavender. Less common colors include Pink, Deep Blue, Violet, Gold, and Green. Lovalians of mixed heritage may have darker eyes.
Lovalians commonly have a prominent forehead or strong brownline.
Ears
Lovalians are the only Tok people without distinctly pointed ears. It seems that evolution did not favor the extra skin, and so their ears have become more downturned, almost square. The top curve of the ear is practically folded over on itself, providing insulation to the outer ear where it is not connected to the head.
Teeth
Lovalian teeth are particularly resilient, and rarely struggle with foods that a real-life human would shudder to consider crunching. While this offers no particular advantage, it is worth noting that some more uniquely Lovalian foods are not suited for regular people.
Traditional Reproduction
Lovalians can procreate through traditional 2-partner reproduction with any Tok species. If the child is Lovalian, they will inherit the Heritage of their Lovalian parent, but may exhibit some traits of the other species, if it is a possibility.
Lovalian + Lovalian: a child will always be Lovalian, taking the father’s heritage
Lovalian +Torgali: a child will be the same species as their mother
Lovalian + Canzian: a child will be the same species as their mother
Lovalian+ Dawi: a child will be the same species as their father
