Amazons

What happens when a matriarchal society with access to magic separates themselves from mankind? Amazons happen. This peoples live in the land north of the Snake River there is a wild forest, once called Washington and Oregon, grows wild and free. To them a home, but to outsiders a place wher

e people do not return from. Hidden in their glades the Amazons have a society that is entirely female. Their years of separation making them unable to mate with others and only able to reproduce through Blood Magic.

An Outsider's Perspective
To the peoples that inhabit the areas around the Forests of Amazonia the warrior women are a terrifying force of nature. Adventures who go in do not come back and woodsman who chop at their trees are often riddles with arrows. Most will never see an amazon. Even those killed by them. But those who do tell tales of their beauty and fierceness.

Amazonian Biology
Despite what others might believe, Amazons are indeed a completely separate peoples from Humans. All Amazons are incapable of giving birth naturally and cannot reproduce with others because of this genetic differentiation. Instead Amazons reproduce by the use of Blood Magic that they have invented. During these Conception Rituals, eggs from a donor Amazon are transported from the womb, magically fertilized, and put inside magically enchanted urns that incubate the baby for about 12 months before the baby is removed from the urn.

As a result of this Arcane manipulation, Amazons are taller (averaging about 6 feet tall), stronger, and more agile than most average humans. Physically, Amazons are very physically attractive, have olive-colored to dark-colored skin, Dark brown to Black Hair, darker eye-colors (like hazel, brown, or black).

Homelands
Amazons are strange among many other races in that they only have one homeland, which is located in the Amazonian Forests north of the Snake River. In the forest are hidden and secretive settlements which are often called Glades. These glades are autonomous from one another and often vie for power amongst each other but are still able to come together to ward off larger armies that try to push into their land. In these times of danger the Glades can elect a Queen who has full authority over Amazonia. There have only been two Queens in 1000 years Queen Xiphone and Queen Kleois.

Amazonian Castes
In the Glades, there are strict castes that people are raised into.
