Firstborn

The Firstborn are the original inhabitants of the Ironlands, peoples that lived uncountable years before humans arrived. Their existence is all but rumors, ghost stories that tell of things so unlike humans that they border on mythic and monstrous.

Elves
Elves are beings of the forest, seldom seen beyond the ancient woods of the Deep Wilds. They are fiercely protective of their lands and suspicious of humans. Some of the more salacious rumors believe the elves to be made of nature themselves, with skin like dry leaves and eyes of amber.

Known Elves

 * Milva and Theodoard, first seen in a cut scene after Amala's dream in episode 12

Giants
Giants are rumored to dwell in the Tempest Hills and Veiled Mountains. Some say they are dull beasts while others swear giants to be keenly intelligent and observant.

Primordials
Primordials are said to be the vestigial spirits of long-forgotten gods and are some of the most mythic of the Firstborn. They embody aspects of the natural world, bound in a crude mimicry of a human or animal.

Known Primordials

 * Tincture from Greybarrow

Trolls
Trolls are rumored to live mostly in the Flooded Lands. They are often described as creatures with hunched backs, skulking on all four of their gangly limbs.

Varou
The Varou are humanoid beings who dwell within the Deep Wilds and the woods of the Hinterlands. Their features are fierce and wolf-like, with yellow, shining eyes and pointed ears. They are broad shouldered and often at least a head taller than the average Ironlander. Their long hair is often ornately groomed and decorated with beads, feathers, and other trinkets.

Known Varou

 * Lyzka, seen first through Amala's augury in episode 13
