Larrulite Crystals

Red is often associated with raw powerful magical energy. Many who wish to wield destructive magic use red Larrulite crystals.

Green is often associated with warding magic. Many who wish to cast spells that will ward allies or themselves or places will use green Larrulite crystals.

Blue is often associated with the summoning of other beings or the manipulation of space and time. Blue is said to be the most potent, and is also one of the rarer colors. 

Purple is often associated with identifying magical items and opening the third eye. Purple is great for casters who wish to use foresight to grant themselves knowledge. 

Orange is often associated with manipulating physical properties of objects and creatures. Those that wish to turn copper to gold, or a rabbit into a lion use orange Larrulite crystals.

Yellow is often associated with manipulating mental states of creatures. Those who wish to make creatures enter almost hypnotic like states or act completely differently than they normally would wield yellow Larrulite crystals.

Black is often associated with draining the life force of creatures. Those that wish to restore unholy life or take life use black Larrulite crystals. There is a negative assumption about those that use black Larrulite crystals, because many evil mages in the past have used black crystals.

White is often associated with restoring life and resurrecting creatures. Those that wish to help others usually use white Larrulite crystals.

Clear is often associated with trickery magic. Those that wish to cause others to perceive false visions, sounds, or other senses use clear Larrulite crystals.

Multi-colored Larrulite crystals exist, although are pretty rare. The more colors in a crystal, the rarer it is.

Trained mages can also store enchantments in Larrulite crystals, so that a buyer could put the enchantment on a weapon or object of their choice.

Orc

Orcs are the least common race of the major races in Larrule, and are almost exclusively found in the Cardwick Mountain Region. Like Half-Orcs, they are also known for their strength and battle prowess, but also their aggression.

Changelings

It is difficult to say how many changelings there are given that they can choose to appear as any race at will. If exposed, they are often met with fear, hatred, and mistrust because the previous king used changelings as a vast secret police network. Many of the changelings were killed after King Melchior took over.

Bugbears, Kobolds, and Goblins

These races often stay away from major cities and other races villages, and are primarily found in the Cardwick Mountain Region.
