A few new racial archetypes, a new Iconic, and Sword Saint updates. Enjoy.

Races

  • Immortal (Base Race): Linking is now only usable once per day.
  • Moombas (New Base Race): Moombas are cute bipedal/quadrupedal lion-like creatures with opposable thumbs and with fur that spikes at the ends of their heads, tails and elbows. Their fur colors range from light browns and oranges to deep reds. They stand at around 3 feet and 3 inches tall on average though are often seen on all fours when in movement. Their paws are of a larger size than normal, which leads to them being capable predators if not for their soft nature. – Created by NapazTrix
