CATLING‘s ADDENDUM:

Catlings are small, saucy and cheeky, sometimes even cocky and elegant but at the same time smart halflings. With their almost human-like exterior and their juvenile face features, they hardly differ from a human despite their speedy, wide awake and slightly cat-like eyes. And they are nevertheless much smaller than an adult humans, and between 80 cm and 1,20m tall, on the average. They possess little, unusually pointed – and almost bat-like ears, which nestle to the sides of their heads and stand back lightly, with some fine cillium attached to it, a maintained and delicate silvery cat’s whiskers and one - usually hardly really recognizable fine hare lip above its human, narrow lipped mouth ( partly not any more stamped out than a notch over the upper lip, like it is completely normal and natural also with humans, sometimes in cases like the hare’s lip of a cat’s snout )

Then Catlings possess usually supple, wiry and agile figure, are switch-slim (and own beyond that at the same time partially nearly athletic well-tranied condition and an pronouncedly musculous chest box, despite all leanness otherwise )
Then again they are in other cases rather short and slim, or even in individual cases more compact, well-fed or in possession of a ball belly, to parts also stocky, and full of muscles, nearly like a dwarf.
Catlings move extraordinarily elegantly, flowing and graceful.
Are excellent by almost proverbial nimbleness, agility, skill and speed, also in mental activity and in reflex / reaction skills.
If they want, they move lightning fast, from the hip out, and loudless on quiet soles like a shade.
They do not possess not one villi at faces, hand inner surfaces and soles - up to their beard and their top hair. Their deep-green, yellow, emerald-blue or also differently colored glowing eyes with their own puzzling, partly not interpretable expression, that lays somewhere inbetween the nature of a cat -, a Kobold and a demon, their whisker beard and their light hare’s lip - as well as the rumor that some of them secretly hide a fur and a TAIL underneath their clothes, their own cunning, ploy and felinity to them nevertheless brought them the name "Catlings“ registered ( although they themselves and their race call themselves "Smilumkin“ )

Catlings are a tough species, as it is said strengthened by long years of hard and almost servile work for humans. Years of most cumbersome physical labour in mines deep underground, in pits in which only human children and small built creatures like them could find space and proceed work.
By their naturally innate night vision and outstanding perception strength in total darkness - which exceeds the night vision of elves, orcs and dwarves and Kobolds by far and is otherwise only reached by pure underground - and night creatures as by Gnolls and gnomes - they were suited for this task. Although the Catlings actually represent an underground race in no way.
Nobody except few old persons among them still know from where their species actually comes, and which origin it sprung from. But - although all Catlings are rather night active, they are a race of the upper world. Equipped with sharpest, most alert and fine instincts and senses. Dextrous, extremely flexible, agilely and resistant to poisons and diseases.

Their life-span is rather briefly limited. And they usually don’t become older than each human being in no case. But they are distinguished to own seven lives, and also like to joke themselves - in self irony – partly among their-same now and then ( or however if they want to defy the "large, uncouth Clumsies“ impudently ) and also claim to have got the characteristics to "always and always fall safe back on their feet“ – Yes, they are considered even as owners of own protection angels and as race being favoured by the luck ( in the misfortune ). A part of the Catlings - which are to find the most in the world - are from earliest times on a settled part the human‘s world and the urban townscape. In particular in Oslabad, Jartabad, in the civilized north and in Espen and in the free southern countries, as well as partially further also in the city of Lilith Maul. But in addition, to parts also in all other large cities of the middle continent, where also humans live.
Their nature is the one of a trickster, and also the one of a eloquent speaker of pun, flattering speech, disarming charm and striking rhetorics. Their high, over-averaged intelligence and their cleverness pairs itself up thereby with their almost completely unreligious convicition. Since their own culture since long adapted to the locally prevailing environment over the time of the co-existence with the human civilisation ( and it‘s values, moral and religions ), they are neither reglemented by special feeling for dishonesty nor high virtue in their deeds and acts. Among their-same, in their own culture‘s small niches and at places where they meet, they are extremely informal, socially and helpfully. That is their highest law in this part of their culture. To mutually support and help themselves, among each other, and to carry, nourish, teach and promote the weaker ones and older ones, exactly as also the most youngest of all the other Catlings

Because by long social-historical stampage - at the beginning in foreign culture and in the sceptically looked at, hardly really accepted minority - they learned fastly, that they could be strong only in the COMMUNITY. To this first time of the beginning then also all today's urban Catlings go back in direct line. As descendants of all the Catlings, which first worked as craftsmen, labourers of most diverse ‚low‘ tasks, which no humans wanted to carry out, helpers, servants and lower casual workers - particularly in Oslabad and Jartabad.
And who then later established themselves there and settled down. In order to then in the future grow together with the world there and to come to limited / modest reputation, acceptance and even appreciation.

In Oslabad they at first covered prevailingly the professional groups of "dirty“ or more unpopular or also more disreputable works - however at the same time being important and necessary:
They recruited all common workers of the public garbage disposal / Garbage Carriagery, they supported all the garbage coachmen – which were at first all humans - as helping front seat passengers on the coach box, and by working on the dumping grounds for rubbish, before the gates of the city with shovels and forks...
They learned as apprentices in the crafts of tailors and furiers –
And others quickly discovered the fact, that they were also particularly suitable as chamber hunters and ratcatchers, so that they soon built the completely own guild of the urban rat catchers and kept Oslabad free of vermin
Because native parts of the lesser pickpockets and purse cutters, active one’s in illegal small criminality and clever human cheats recognized their high apprehension, species-characteristic abilities and flexibility, Catlings grew up to parts of the fixed thief and cheat culture very fast, mediated as confidential, neutral messengers in circles of thief -, red light -, underworld and smuggler environment and even partly later started their own businesses as scout's for the night life "Avenue's“ and bawds, baits for cut-throat's, frauds and counterfeiters - And – because they had a completely good head for heights as excellent climbers at the same time, and used and suitable to slip into cramped pits, the society of the "Roofworlders“ at the same time came to existence, which was actually consistent only of simple chimney sweepers - But nevertheless at the same time in individual cases represented the very first one‘s by this activity who knew about insider informations, concerning occurences of all kinds going on in the city, as also as source for newest gossip and rumours, amusement, mockery and malicious glee ( by operating in pits with entrance to private dwellings, by efficient traffic from roof to roof highly over the city, and some of a several secret ways, roof attics, holes and tunnels )

For this reason Catlings within many regions of the large cities - and particularly in Oslabad - are generally popular, elves who know those Catlings call them "The Tricky One’s“ and estimate them particularly because of their fast apprehension, adaptability and open-mindedness to anything new, their diligence and their skills as crafty devils.
Native humans generally tolerate them at least, and take them to notice without any offence or condescension. Most of them rather enjoy that they exist at all, as presever of the cleanliness and hygiene of the city, guarantors for the arranged operational course of the urban life, and the regulated cleaning of their fire-places; As entertaining, enriching source for foolish amusement; As part of the multicoloredness and aliveness of the city; And - in an emergency - also as small force who tips the scales, concerning those Catlings, who follow rather windy businesses.
Most Oslabadnians - and even the city lord in person – is probably by the opinion, it would be better, if the underworld and the organized crime does not lie completely alone in the hand of humans, human rogues and really dangerous corrupt crooks of human blood ( But that their businesses are still kept running by the small Catlings simultaneously – Which the law and the city lords not only consider as lesser corrupt, but also as more harmless, influenceable and easier to bribe ) Towards humans themselves Catlings in the opposite fundamentally cherish a healthy distrust, secretly.
Altogether they rather keep themselves to their own kin, and even trust Orcs, simple minded one‘s, fey and pixy / Goblin folk still more then humans, run their own business primarily in small-scale, and only join up humans in businesses, of whose fairness and crook’s honour they are sure of  ( or - in the opposite – humans, whose complete own incompetence and weakness, as potential victims of OWN PLANS AND WHEELINGS AND DEALINGS they are assured of )
They generally do not hate humans in no way - despite everything that some humans did to their ancestors once and despite that many Catlings died hard in their exploitative mine work, once – But they however love it nevertheless to play tricks to descendants of the human race with malicious intelligence and elegance, in order to give them a little lection where they can.
May it be that they fool a human taking him for a ride, may it be that they even challenge individual humans even in a discipline, in which they and their species are farly superior.
The Catlings of the cities have certainly nevertheless to owe a lot to the humans:
The advantages, the luxury and the possibilities of the civilization and the - hard fought for, but then nevertheless well-respected position of their own kind in the city, the possibility to unite among themselves to only one large – and growing – racial community, and then in addition also the basis for the increase of profit, prosperity and wealth.
Whereby they acquired the sympathy of ever more and more human city citizens – and particularly among their thief circles.
And these are also the things, for which a Catling usually strives: Profit, prosperity and wealth, and influence in the human world. Not only in order to enrich oneself, but also to enrich the entire community of the Catlings in the whole. Beside the rat catchers, garbage coachmen and scrap iron- and garbage-yard workers, chimney sweepers and "Roofworlders“, thieves, rogues and labourers of only halflegal businesses, other Catlings still however also lead their honest and simple craftsman tradition, or profit as errand boys, domestics or runners from their perseverance and speed.

Some or another of them even received the honour, to become an apprentice of an alchimist, a magician or a witch master, or the apprentice of a healer or physician!
Set out into the wide world and became rogue mage, quack or Miraculus, and travelling cheat / charlatan.
While in addition also trickstermages / illusionists, self-enchanters, magical Jokers and entertainers, or magical detectives - becuase the boring and rather sober academic everydays life of one "serious“ magician does not particularly very well get along with their own, precipitous and merrily life-loving kind.

Oslabadnian Catlings traditionally practise the special love, to surround themselves with ANIMALIC cats.
( Which they partly hold in whole masses )
And some have allegedly even the wondrous control to be able to communicate with animals such as cats!
( So that they are also suitable as Beastmasters )
Other famous Catlings are well-known, who once made a career as an unsurpassed master thief.
( Even if some of those at first meanwhile only were partly used and exploited by humans )

Although Catlings are inclined however to enjoy each vice of the human the culture, wine, woman, singing and tobacco consumption, money and available fun and all their comforts exactly the same as humans themselves, only a few Catlings know how to deal with money economically, cleverly and in measures.
Completely only because most of them lack the sense for money itself, actually, ust a well as they lack the sensitiveness, not at all even to mention alcohol and women completely!
On one hand they are outstanding hagglers, with unsurpassed practical sense of business, fine nose for opportunities, risky player nature and give not much on money in the sense of conditions of wealth, they rather appreciate everything, that is opening up to them, by means of it.

Nevertheless Catlings with their cat-like abilities are nearly predestined, for the occupation of the rogue and thief: Small and fast, skillfully and clever, having a high condition - and as fast as the wind, if it is about fleeing.

In cities of the elvish Elcaarea forest kings, the "Erl“ and in all other elvishly stamped cities, like for example in cities of the half fairs, there were – besides craftsmen, servants and runners - particularly many magician‘s apprentices represented among the Catlings, because the elves as already mentioned liked them so much for all their skills and their high intelligence.
The mouldability of their character and their reliability.
In addition to that, the Catlings were not too proud for any kind of job, and had learned to work hard - in their own capability. Their mother’s wit and their sociability was then one thing, the elven had to really admire.
In the half fair aristocracy, but also among high men and mortal humans specially faithful and devoted weapon servants even attained the honour to become personal sign-scarce of aristocrats and knights.

Close to Wynhavens, in Bannelon, in connection with the upper half fair social class, then also a society of Catlings-Mark Counts, minne singers and bards, jokers and knight-like noblemen developed in imitation of the local elvish and half fairish court culture and the stand of knights. While other bards, Jokers and magically talented cheats gladly wandered through the world - and usually worked in co-operation with humans as employers and partners - either rather more as entertainers, circus people or bards ( like the Twickrascals ) or transacting windy businesses, in order to fool humans and bring them around their money, as for instance with falsified documents, colored water they claimed to be a miracle medicine etc.

The Catlings in the cities, who worked there as counterfeiters, and magically talented cheats, supply them with such wrong papers. And belong to the handicraft guild of the fraudulent craftsmen there. Some vocationally cut breath-thin splinters from gold and silver coins, in their private, in order to melt it then later to new gold or silver, some are well-informed and skillful in knowledge about wrong jewels, "fool’s gold“, and genuine jewels - and are partly at the same time fences and appraisers of stolen gems and jewellry ( or however even thieves, themselves )
Some falsify books, possession documents, certificates and documents of most diverse other kind ( from the wrong official doctor or witch master title to the family tree, which proves a person as aristocrat, knight or candidate on certain landed property )
Others then again are gamblers and artists in fraudulent or magical / illusionistic slight hand maneuvering ( some few are also magically abled spy, assassin or vocational murderers )

- Savage Catlings ( Wood-Catlings and rural Catlings with special affinity and connection to animals, forest and wilderness > Rangers, Scouts and Outlaw’s ):

Concerning the rare, less civilized and not domestic Catlingsspecies of the world there is only hardly anything heard and seen, if one moves over the middle continent and its wildernesses. These savage Catlings, Wood-Catlings and Catlings in rural areas, which do not live in the near of humans, how it is otherwise species-characteristic and typical for them, mostly represent rangers, scouts and track readers, trappers and prospectors and outlaws of the forests.
Since they carry a still even stronger sense for animals, forest and wilderness in themselves than their urban or village brothers and cousins, as for example also more knowledge of animal languages and moreover are well-versed and familiar to the forest and meadows, some of them are brilliant rangers, track readers, trappers and scouts.
While the urban Catlings know well how to live in co-existence with humans – and to exist at least at the edge of the human society by comfortable conditions and quality of life, more savage Catlings and individual other Catlings are unable by nature to understand the human character and its consequences.

The human kind of nature and the human culture are rather strange to them as such - similar as it also is fact with many Twickrascal's. Their original, instinctive animal character is still by dominant charecteristics with them. Their senses and cat‘s abilities still highly exceed those of the civilized brothers and cousins in purity and genuineness. At the same time they oftenly show moodily, impulsively changeful and restless, and undertake long lonely migrations through the forests, in deep solidarity with nature - while they partly even still hunt for
small animals as mice and birds, there, and partly also feed from those, like only some purely animalic cats otherwise do it. These mysterious, depending upon a character playful and naive - or rather calm, but still partly also irritable Catlings stand inbetween purely animalic nature and own, shamanically stamped out wood race culture, not unsimilar to the Kirrn Wood-elves of Madrumah, and the druidic dragon people of Oldest of All from the forests.

Faith and Gods:

Most Catlings only actually believe in themselves, and are hedonists, who strive only for own
( material ) goals in life. Many worship rural Gods already prevailing, like the masters of talents in Oslabad ( and know them partly only under a different name, with different aspect, or as parts of additional, own divinities )
For any mysterious reason they especially feel bonded however with the "Oldest of All“, the dragon-humanoid, mythical Mahdross, the large lords and masters of the elements, and the grey lords of the neutrality - ( embodied in the moon )
Their only common main God is to find in this moon and the Grey Lord, whose attribute is this moon, they are calling ‚Hourin‘ or "Yurren“, in the world dragon "Worm“ - and in the idol-like adored, cyclop-human descendants of the God Hourin.
Otherwise they live rather into the day, believe neither in a life after death, nor in sin, or godly deeds.
They have very well ideals, believe in good works - in particular against their own kind, they believe in right and wrong act, but not in religious sense. Their godly deeds rather ressemble heroic acts and large wellfare‘s for the own people and their conception of acquiring divinity rather ressembles trying to reach perfection in their natural determined gifts and abilities – as for example in their occupation - and in fame and wealth ( as a saying of the Catlings says: Man, Cat or mouse, only use your nous! )

Their conception of "sin“ rather turns out in the form of cowardly betrayal of own people, unfaithfulness against their own kinship and species, and insidious playing off other Catlings against others – and / or against humans or elves. And still there is a large treasure of hero stories, traditional songs and legends of own culture existant among Catlings, which is gladly, told, togetherly sung, listend to and dreamt about.
And therein every now and then also stories and songs of first Gods, heroes and creators appear.
Godly magicians, who once chose them as creatures in order to maintain and secure their own knowledge and the onlasting of their kind and culture, in form of the new own young race of halflings. Magicians, who mostly had got to do wih the moon and the one-eyed moon God. While some songs also told about a mystical, paradisiac place named "Paarbèll“ located at the moon, and its earth-off turned side, where the deceased souls or spirits of the Catlings jump up once, when they separate from the terrestrial life - and mix there among spirits of animalic cats, lucky ones and ancestors and deceased forefathers. As children of "Hourin“ and in his eternal, released shelter.
Because the most Catlings - apart from recorded legends, songs and myths – however forgot the oldest religiously timbered theories in the real everydays life and lost a lot of faith in them, they oftenly look for their own identity as a race rather in their personal existence, and philosophize and poetize sometimes gladly in the night, at the fire, or also under the moon, are otherwise however pure pragmatics – and prefer to look up to real, seizable role-models and examples, like to the master of the Catlings in Oslabad, or other Catlings, who ‚made it‘ by all own strength. Or worked up from way down low by themselve, with much diligence and perseverance and then in the end came to self-acquired status, good getting along, fame, wealth or reputation.

TWICKRASCALS ADDENDUM:

The first well-known Twickrascal, ZWIKKEL, ( and later = 'Twickle' ) being the first ancient original ancestor of his own future species, and at the same time their highest God is characterwise very typical at the same time for the general nature of the Twickrascals.
As "the one who pinches“, or "who sits in one‘s neck“ ( if one is 'in too high spirits and up to tricks' )
At the same time one of the main Gods besides this Zwikkel is the rogue god ‚Mikkel', the God for luck, charm and protection, God of the houses, master of the poltergeister and goblins at the countryside, household God and protector of the chambers and rooms ( who should allegedly be similar to the little people / household fairies himself )... Sliviken and Slikkel, the twin divinity, born from air and fire and earth and water, the sly dog and trickster and his brother, the flexible one, reasonable one and rooted one to his natice soil.

While the Sea-Twickrascal‘s on their islands however mainly worship the local Tollwyss / Tolliwed, instead, the lord of the bird swarms and islands, as universal God ( = embodiment of sky, earth and water )
And form the Twickrascal culture of island and mud and sand flat inhabitants, with lightly nordic, shamanic colored culture, prevailing there, which live there as so-called "Ocean Herds“, beach robber, shell- and plankton collecters and hunters of seals, sea-animals and sea mammals.

The Twickrascal’s there particularly revere the large local swarms of sea-birds, sea gulls and mews in this area ( which are holy to them and possess great magical meaning for them ) and their way of life is very stamped and shaped by the close ocean, tides and elements.
They worship the birds as figures of the sky as heralds of mystical oracles, the creatures of the sea and sea-spirits, like the sea God Moekkel, and the sea-goddess Nyks, regard sea mammals as divine intermediaries between air and sea and also pray to some old ship wrecks, buildings, statues and ruins, in nomadship over the mud flats, which are partly only given free by low tide by the sea.

Further Sea- Twickrascal’s whose main divinity is Moekkel/Mook as well, also go back to a special early Twickrascal named Calfîr, who once worked ashore as ship carpenter and boat builder, and in special as so-called caulker, and back to those Twickrascal’s also, who travelled the seas as a sailors, ship’s boys and ‚general dog’s body‘ and partly also as luck bringing crew members together with sailors, pirates and trading vessels.

Those Twickrascal’s who were considered as luck bringing talisman, represented creatures in the faith of some seafaring humans and elven-people, who were actually children of the "Klabauterman“ / Ship-Hobgoblin. And their pure presence on board thus meaning protection, good wind, welfare and benedictions for the own ship.

City-Twickrascal‘s in ports of the world are mostly wharf aids, light sailors, pilots and dock labourers with opportunity jobs.

Twickrascal’s who generally live in cities form large parts of guild members of the craftsmen, are less criminal pickpockets, bard‘s, associates /apprentices and shop clerks, or also live in their own little smalltown Penceville in Princiat.

Countryside-Twickrascal‘s are partly in individual cases also rangers, scouts and hunters. Wandering / roaming Twickrascal‘s in proximity of human village settlements usually live in slightly separated own accommodations, from where out they serve as harvest aids, stable boys or farm aids and herds. Or they move through the world as allround- craftsmen, tinkerers and knife grinders, hawkers / door-to-door salesmen and day labourers.

If it is true that the Twickrascal‘s partly descend from imp sprites, feygoblins and household goblins it is to be supposed that their temper, and their boisterous sense for pranks and practical jokes is an inheritance of these ancestors.
For this reason a Twickrascal can tend to act very lively mercurial and unfocussed. On the other hand they possess a high ability to pick up things fastly and at the same time with long memory ability, to learn and acquire skills with large enthusiasm, also by concentrating on single areas of activities, vocational fields and abilities and to completely get down to these areas.

Their changeful sense between restlessness and curiosity, sense for home and stove and safe existence, and challenge for the new, drives still some of them in addition also to the way of life of a prowling around rogue, moving craftsman, in vagrant, or gypsy, opportunity worker or tramp.

Twickrascals are sufficient, natively and rather honestly - contrary to the flexible, and partly thievish and trickster-like Catlings, who strive for small fortune to the fast luck than the Twickrascal‘s ( also with rather dishonest, purely crookish means )
Twickrascal‘s are surrounded by an aura, which penetrates their optimistic, partly nearly naive impartiality and innocence.

In the community Twickrascal‘s are very socially, informal, solidary and communicate among themselves nearly like close brothers and sisters – or even twins.

The Twickrascal‘s can all in all however as already said be divided in two large groupings: On the one hand those, who live on their islands in the sea upon little risings in the mud flats, which change by thr rythm of low tide and high tide, inbetween island form and hills in the mile-far open tideland, and those who live on the mainland in sea proximity, those who live in small villages in lovely pastureland between small wood groves and rustic culture among herds and farmers, or as wandering rogues, day labourers, vagabonds and gypsies, tinkerers and hawkers, craftsmen or luck flies roaming over the countryside;

Those, which live in fields and meadows and forests, and those who work in large cities with maritime culture/ports, and in urban settlements of humans in careers as servant, page, craftsman, associate, messengers/runners, or in classical other Twickrascal occupation works, like:

Carpenter, auxiliary cook, knife grinder, cooper, cauldron – or wheelmaker, miller, gold- and silver smiths, builders of instruments, glass blower, clockmaker and tailor.

Further typical Twickrascal professions are those of the lighthouse keeper, wood-carver of figureheads, clock tower attendant, circus people, bards, rogues and vagabonds, animal tamers and beastmasters. Since they have large ability of empathy, by nature, they are partly able to deal with small animals, birds, cats, mice and intelligent other small animals particullary well. The smallest occupation kind among them are the courageous, dare-devilsih pure ADVENTURERS, who dream about heroic deeds and honour.

Because Twickrascals abhor dishonesty, hiringness and raw violence, and are too respectable and modest, to strive for large material fame and wealth, and prefer it, to conquer and overcome their enemies and the "large people“ with cunning, joke, richness of tricks and skill, but all have a great unsatisfiable curiosity, longing after distance and the unknown, and discoverer desire in common.

In their largest settlements outside of their mudflat islands and their own realm, in their village ‚Zwicklingen‘ in Espen and in Penceville in Princiat, and in the forest of Ambrell in Yadmelvan the Twickrascal’s have developed their completely own respective culture.

In the forest of Ambrell they created and extended their own, underground means of transport of dug tunnels - the so-called "Quicktunnels“ with which they are able to cover great distances in roller coaster-like way in very short time, and can in this way easily come from one place to the other.

In the idyllic Zwicklingen, nearby the sea, and close to their home islands of Hantòlli, they act as alga collecters, beach robbers and Twickrascal’s fishing washed ashore drifting property up, ( and are awake over the large own beacons there )
In the nearly city-large Penceville then, most different Twickrascals of most diverse professions gather in stop-overs on their journeys, for busy and vivid exchange of stories and pieces of news, for celebrating and song, play and make music, among native Twickrascals, guests and visitors of other races.

A very rare, special kind of Twickrascal’s gets born as Albino, with pale skin, pink until purple pupils ( lightly silvery tan ) and white, lightly silvery resplendent and shimmering curly hair. Of the juvenile, nearly ageless faces these Albino flows penetrating charisma and presence. And they are besides also much more seriously, less playful, and more calmly. Sometimes their eyes possess an expression of irony and wit, and light up, but are above all intelligent and full wisdom.

Their albinism lends night vision to them, and sets them amongst their-same into a position as completely special, holy and venerable, almost godly creatures, magicians, shamen, sages and seers.

Thus they enjoy high social and cultural stand and status among other Twickrascal’s. The few Twickrascal‘s who receive such a grace of birth, are considered as old, re-born spirits of powerful elf‘s, fairies and sprites.
They own the successorship of next tribe shamen, to them certain Twickrascal’s some with concerns, needs and questions or ask for healing, and also represent the instances of the highest spiritual advisor, oracle, ritual councellor, and holy man/holy woman.

By daylight they are however so reduced in their capacity to act and handicapped, that they have to carry tinted eyepieces or lenses, masks or veils for protection.

Contrary to common Twickrascal’s, the albino Twickrascal‘s mostly live in separated darkness, in caves or in own, holy halls, being windowless ( or however densely veiled up by heavy curtains ) or also fall back to assistance of special herbs, berries and plants, in order to make their eyes compatible with the daylight thereby.

Normal Twickrascal’s are long-lived, and exceed in the resistance against poisons and diseases even the dwarves. So that they partly reach an age of between 100 to 200 years.

The Albino Twickrascal‘s are normally rather weak and sensitive and susceptible to lighter physical defects. And unfortunately it is a fact, that the pollutants of some hallucinogenics, medicines, fruits, herbs and drugs, which they use as means for the reinforcement of their ritual magic ( or as protection against sharp light ) affect them with their own pollutants in their blood circulation, their organs and - in the long run - also their mind.

The Twickrascal say, that the so-called "Boongle-Berries“ caused ‚thin blood‘.
And with that they mean weakening- and swindle accumulations, fatigue symptoms, tendencies to melancholy or even insanity, and besides early senility, in some cases. Nevertheless this evil does not hold the Albino Twickrascal from serving their kinship - or however the well-being of others - as well as they can, some Albino Twickrascal even leave their homeland worlds in individual cases and follow one special quest or task of life, which had been revealed to them in a vision or rite, outside from the Twickrascal realm, or live by few and solitarily also in cities ( which rare latter mostly grew up among humans under any circumstances )

The oldest ones of the native Albino's and the oldest ones of the other, common Twickrascals pass on their old, secret knowledge and cultural property traditionally to the younger ones.

As holy also further, different Gods are considered to the majority of all Twickrascal - beside the ancestors of the imp sprites, the birds, sea animals, sea mammals and Albino:
Mythical mortal Twickrascals themselves, all first Twickrascals, hero and founder, as well as also Sea Gods, Fate and Time Gods, Gods of the seasons and their elements, forest - and moorland sprites, earth- and fertility Gods, Gods of virtues and protection patrons of most diverse handicrafts, moon and star Gods, wight and faun gods.

As well as the large earth God Haadros, the dragon God "Who was there as the very first“, God of the elements and the earth, who reresents another aspect to universal world dragon Dross or Trôz or WYRM.

All-highest virtues of the Twickrascal are loyalty, friendship and faithfulness, kindness and purity, optimism and respect in relation to the creation, the animals and plants and the Gods, non-violence, keeping of honour and realization of one’s own individual task of life, reverence and respect before age, wisdom ( ancestors ) and culture, and - by all restlessness, search and all trying out to find the personal luck, at the end.
