Cooperative and disciplined, the Horkval are a race of insectoid people who have grown powerful in the realm of Aetolia. Their race is known for its determination and teamwork, though most outside of the hives are posessed of a strong individualism and self-awareness. Their powerful legs allow them to reach areas others cannot, and their chitinous bodies lend them a natural protection unmatched by any other mortal race. These blessings of the body have taken their toll on the Horkvali, however, and they find themselves less prepared to master the magical arts. | Cooperative and disciplined, the Horkval are a race of insectoid people who have grown powerful in the realm of Aetolia.

A mighty people, the insectoid Horkval are perhaps the most unique of Aetolia's races, with bodies sheathed in a chitinous exoskeleton as strong as armor. Hailing from tight-knit hives scattered throughout the land, the most prominent of which can be found on the island of Ulangi, the race is known for their fierce loyalty and stalwart determination, trained from birth to serve their hive, although independent warriors are known to leave their ranks to seek training in the outside world. Physically, the Horkval come in a range of suited, most ideal for physical combat, be that small and agile or bulky and strong, with their bodies reminiscent of oversized, humanoid insects, complete with hard shells, antennae and sometimes claws or feelers. | A mighty people, the insectoid Horkval are perhaps the most unique of Aetolia's races, with bodies sheathed in a chitinous exoskeleton as strong as armor.
