“I have lived among those of smooth shell. They have flat fangs that cannot pierce the hide of even the smallest prey. Crawling through burrows built to the sky they hide from the beasts in the forest. In solitude they are vulnerable like a calf, but in a swarm they can crush through bone and stone. They don't use the strength of their numbers to destroy but to grow and build. We can add to their strength with our raw might and turn their strength into our own."
— Ragno Armslane
While in their spider form, an Araneae is indistinguishable from the giant spiders that they evolved from. While in their humanoid form they take on many shapes sizes but average 5 feet to 6 feet tall. They have similar features to a human in this form but the iris of their eyes has several simple eyes lined within it. In addition an Araneae's hair is silk like and often floats like strands of web in the wind.
An Aranea's coloration distinguishes the tribe it hails from and some of those characteristics carry over to it's humanoid form. This usually will include, markings and general color patterns on their skin.
Araneae are aware of how recent their sentience was granted to them and how long they have to accomplish what they will in their lifetime. Araneae live an average of 80 to 100 years during which time they will fervently pursue whatever goals they find are most important. To some this may mean a passionate love, successful business, or great victories in battle. Due to this drive, other races may feel the Araneae are overwhelming in their desires.
Most Araneae still live in the caves and tunnels that their ancestors occupied but make occasional ventures into the city-states or towns for trade. Some of the more adventurous Araneae will take up permanent residency in these civilizations and establish businesses or strong social networks. They then will open up these cities to trade with their home and tribe.
The subraces of the Araneae are divided based on the characteristics of the type of spider they descended from. While others may exists in the world of Talerand, the known races are the Titan, Saltus.
