 =Technology=
-Krish technology is well beyond that of most of the other races. In fact, it is from the remains of Krish war-machines that the Grisic Empire built its own air technology, utilizing materials salvaged from their remains - materials that could ''only'' be found in the Outlands. Chief of these materials is one called 'kilesh', black crystals that line the Outland's floating mounds of stone. These rocks are salvaged when discovered, their crystals refined and turned into the external layer of Krish ships, also known as Harbingers (pictured above). Harbingers are massive, airbound vessels that naturally float due to their kilesh exterior. Their ascent and descent is manipulated by a magnetic core infused within a gravity well to their center, one that shifts the magnetic currents within the upper or lower parts of the ship to either ascend or descend, allowing them to float. Clockwork technology has taken and adapted these methods for their own use, with Grisic Skyships all utilizing this magnetism along with a kilesh exterior.

 Krish, due to their mixture of magic and technology, are a truly devastating race: of all the races, they are known to be the most effective when it comes to war and invasion. Many, many Krish learn [[Resonance]] at an early age, and many of them master it to the point where they are capable of forging Interplanar Portals. Large cabals of these master-Transposers will be stationed on each Harbinger, allowing them to warp across the Outlands easily, or even into different planes. The Harbinger will then assault the city it warped to with its incredible magical weaponry, leaving smoking ruins often before any help can arrive. The process can be more involved for Krish seeking to salvage and enslave rather than destroy, with Harbingers effectively dropping large battalions who will be funneled into city-squares through regular portals. Either way, the incredible hull of these Harbingers makes them nearly impossible to fell, and these invasion forces can be so shocking and devastating to the unexpecting people of Atharen, that their defensive forces often rout immediately.

 Hundreds of years into the migration of the Elves, they stood a new race, and one that had been divided into countless tribes by the need to forage and hunt, forming nomadic bands. Rather than savages, though, they were perhaps the most developed race of all. The countless materials within the Outlands proved effective for constructing advanced armor and weaponry. The beasts made incredible companions for the hunt, and the floating stones became their cities, and the basis of the technology that allowed them their ships. By the Third Age, the Krish had become a truly thriving race. The dominant life-form in the Outlands, they had forged an endless array of savage Kingdoms that warred with one another for dominance, subjugating all of the races truly native to the land. It was then that one of their Kings thought to return them to what they referred to as r'lisk, or Atharen, to seek out their divine rule.
-Since then, invasions by the Krish have become a phenomena seemingly unimpeded by anything else, only adopting even a pause during the Sundering. They emerge from the Outlands nearly every year, the warriors of a variant or even unheard of tribe each time, sacking and razing cities wherever they can find them. Much of the history of the Krish upon entering the Outlands is unknown; they are a mysterious race. The one certainty around them is that they are reviled by those on Atharen, and even their own plane.

 =Reproduction, Aging, and Death=
-Krish reproduction is a similar process to that of Elves and humans. One thing to note, however, is that Krish are very fertile: they tend to produce twins or even triplets during conception. With most Krish believing the Outsider had a direct hand in their evolution, many believe he designed them this way to produce a more bountiful source of sustenance. Considering the Krish are constantly at war with one another, and even the nations of Atharen due to their invasions, this eternally exploding population serves them well. It is not uncommon for Krish cities to grow ten-fold in population in a generation, only to be completely culled in a war, or by the Outsider.

With most Krish believing the Outsider had a direct hand in their evolution, many believe he designed them this way to produce a more bountiful race for him to predate on, acquiring more souls. Given that the Krish are perpetually at war with one another, and even the nations of Atharen due to their invasions, this eternally exploding population serves them well. It is not uncommon for Krish cities to grow ten-fold in population in a generation, only to be completely culled in a war, or by the Outsider.
 Aging is a fairly mundane process for the Krish: they tend to age as normal until they are around one hundred and fifty years of age, at which point they will begin to appear 'middle-aged' and their functions will begin to diminish. They then wither to that of elders in about twenty five to thirty years, and will eventually die well past the age of two hundred. Before this period, they live in their prime from the age of eighteen - where they fully mature - until the next century-and-a-half.
