Notes: Undersized and emaciated, moving quickly is something this poor Lowlander can't do very well. He needs to eat constantly or collapse due to his high metabolism and his tail rot is in pretty bad shape.
A rather severe knock to the head has left him with a large scar down the front of his skull and face, making him look like it was cleaved in half and sewn back together.

Basic Information
Basic Information
Canines: Canines are the most common breed type in the realm; they live everywhere and are exceedingly adaptable. They generally tend toward looking like wolves, domesticated dogs, and foxes.
Eight-Nine: Eights and Nines are seen as the well-to-do "middle class" citizens and feel that they are on pretty much the same level as their neighboring Fives, Sixes, and Sevens. Some Nines tend to get ambitious, seeing as the "upper class" of Ten is so tantalizingly close to them. They are sometimes hired as secretaries and other non-labor-intensive jobs within the Courts; many also have the freedom to become heads of trading businesses or popular entertainers.
Diamonds: The Fang: As a rule, Diamonds are uncommon but not too difficult to come by. They are on the upper end of society due to their color, with practically no stigmas against them. A Diamond has respect in society naturally; even if its number is of the lower cast, the fact that it is a Diamond will lift it above the other "lower" cards. Being born as a Diamond is a celebrated event and the child will probably have a happy life regardless of realm or parentage.
The Diamond symbol, the Fang, refers to their cunning and sharp, biting turns of phrase. Their uncanny intelligence and tendency toward snideness and power gives the Suit a reputation for being fangy. The fang is also normally represented a as serpent’s fang; due to their knack with charisma and bribery, they usually revel in their snake-like stereotype.
Basic Magical Ability: All Diamonds can act charismatic and persuasive at times, whether or not they actually have the natural charm and grace to pull it off.
Lowlands: Residents are usually brown with purple and green twining patterns tracing down their shoulders and eyes. They are often emaciated and the landscape causes many of them to have some sort of sore or wound that will not go away.
The Lowlands are the most disreputable of the realms, and for good reason. Dark and dreary, the buildings are unkempt and falling apart in many places due to the lack of proper building materials, the constant damp of the area, and the insufficient monetary support for the Realm itself. There are very few jobs available and many residents are forced to go out and labor for others in order to secure their meals, much less their homes and possessions. The members themselves seem shabby or in disrepair, some having quite gruesome appearances and mannerisms. Lowlanders are rarely taken in to work in the Courts; if they are then they are kept out of sight, hidden in the kitchens or out in the stables where visitors won't have to look at them. The Lowlands are on the other side of the Sorgaire Range from Josiggy Marsh and the residents hate each other with a fiery passion, often finding excuses to cross the range and attack each other for little to no reason. The Range is neutral in this feud. The residents of the Lowlands have been involved in the cold-war with the Josiggy Marsh as long as anyone can remember, though no one can tell who started it or why. Most Lowlanders have poor constitution and will simply avoid any members of the Josiggy that they see. Mixed breeds from the two Realms are often ostracized and some are even killed on sight for being the intimate result of lying down with the enemy.
