Nephilim

Nephilim were a race of magically and technologically advance people with a deep understanding of Dunamancy. They came to extinction during The Great Calamity when Tharizdun killed them.

History
The great inventors, the ones before us, the Nephilim. Were the gods first attempt at sapient life and they seemed to have got it right. The Nephilim were a great people who quickly placed themselves in charge of the mortal plane and commanded it with respect. But perhaps that greatness is what lead them to dusrection as they got ahead of themselves and grew power hungry and far too ambitious. And in that state they drew the attention of Tharizdun and freed him. Their citites soon fell and they were wiped out, with only their ruins, texts, and the items they had crafted to inform those who came afterwards that they were ever there.

The gods tried again and decided to put intentional flaws in their next batch of beings and to give each race a rival so that none could go unchecked. And thus the new age came.

Society
They lived in cities in the sky above the ocean in order to not block light to their farmlands. These cities were kept in the sky via gravity focused dunamancy and were marvelous things. Nephilim repeatedly rolled lucky on inventors, wizards and scholars and as such found themselves in a repeatedly changing society.

Appearance
The Nephilim were a towering race that imposed on many a creature. They averaged a height of 6ft and a sturdy, athletic body. They had two eyes that had colors similar to human ones although more bright on average. Their hair was wispy and tended towards pastel colors and was often kept long and in braids or ponytails.
