Human - Atlantean
Overview
The Atlantean Human Race is also augmented with an Emdeusian Bloodline of Divine blood, namely the Emhydrian Line through its Royal Family's descent from Poseidon. The General population only has some benefits from the Emhydrian Bloodline present in the Upper Class, and this is said to come from the extensive training that young Atlanteans are put through.Average Atlanteans
