Men of Harkanis

Harkanis is much older than Earth. The planet's exotic and unforgiving biomes have led to the development of multitudes of bizarre creatures. Men are no exception. The men of Harkanis are very different from those living on Earth. Each of the nine races possesses an appearance that would be considered unnatural on our world. The origin of the nine races of Harkanian men is shrouded in mystery. Some sages infer from archaic texts and religious canon that the nine races were a product of a terrible or capricious experiment. Others say that they evolved naturally as a result of the vicious radiation that haunts this doomed world. Those are but two of many theories.
