Description:
None → In truth the race known as the Mákyrissan is a tale of two peoples. Firstly, all appear in truth to appear human. It is safer to believe this ‘race’ to be more a subsection of humanity than anything else, though such a thought cannot be confirmed. For the men, that is obvious in all matters, mundane in magic but trying as hard as any ‘human’ could be. The Mákyrissan in truth refers to the females of the ‘species’. All women bear the inherent magical gifts that the Roses, capable with training to craft spells and raise the dead, such is the main prowess of the Coven. All, when their gifts materialize, hold a twinkle of vermillion in their irises along with their natural colour. As well, some are born with startling silver hair, though that is a rarity even for their number. And whilst most don’t travel beyond their home, it is said they have the ability to sustain warmth in cold climates, or retain a cool form in hotter climates. Suggesting an inherent gift to control their own body temperatures.
In truth the most notable aspect of the Mákyrissan women that one can see, is something that can only be seen with time - they do not age, physically anyway. Once a lady of the Coven has reached their early to mid forties, physically they stop the aging process. They are not immortal, however, but the magical properties of their blood that separates them from their male counterparts means that even on their deathbed, they appear young.
As a result, bar the lack of physical aging, the alleged body temperature control and subtle eye and hair colours, what makes the women different is their blood as of present day. It is their bloodlines and gifts that truly make them Mákyrissan.
