===Voltalëy, the Scale Hide Isldar===

A curious aberration in appearance among the Isldar race is the Scale Hide Isldar, also called the Voltalëy among them, or Voltalar by outsiders. Outsiders particularly get this name wrong often, as they think of the Voltalëy as their own distinct race called the Dragon-Nelfin, however the Voltalëy are distinct from the Dregodar who are their ancestors, and they are absolutely a subrace of Isldar. The Scale Hide isldar appear more like Fin’ullen in proportions in that they are more humanoid in shoulder width and frame-size, however they still have long ears and Nelfin-like facial features. The most notable thing about the Scale Hide Isldar is that part of their skin is covered in dragon-scale like patches. The most common areas for this scale-skin is on the arms from the hands to the shoulders, the back, the hips and legs down to the feet, and the back and sides of the neck up to and including the ears. Rarely, patches of scale-skin can also be found on the chest, stomach or the sides of the face or forehead, but smaller patches with less scales on only the forearms and lower legs are also possible. Furthermore, the Voltalar have draconic claw-like fingers and feet, and about half the Voltalëy have a scaled non-prehensile draconic tail, while the other half does not. Where-as most other Isldar are experienced as haughty or distant to even their close friends, Voltalëy are the exact opposite in that they have too much emotion or experiences to share with everyone, including strangers. The Scale Hide Isldar are boisterous and challenging, seeking new thrills and experiences where possible, especially if it means they can measure their own self worth with others (for example in combat or challenges of the mind). The Scale Hide Isldar are commonly found in the Wyvern Spires in Ellador, where they both mend the Wyvern of the Isldar as well as all other forms of husbandry, preserving the Isldar food supply. The Scale Hide Isldar are both the front-line soldiers of the Isldar, and the caretakers of Isldar supply lines, acting as caravan menders and supply depot managers and guards.

===Half Isldar===

While breeding and relationships with non-Isldar are not looked down upon by Isldar as a whole, there is a clear divide between full and Half Isldar in their Society and Culture. Due to their lack of connection to the Soul Rivers, and lack of protection from the cold, Half Isldar are entirely barred from living in the Isldar Holds in Ellador. This creates an often uncomfortable position for Half-Isldar to occupy: while on the surface full Isldar are often welcoming and accepting of them, there is the unspoken exclusion of them from the Isldar's homelands. Visually, Half-Isldar tend to take on the Physical Characteristics of their parents in equal measure, with paler complexion and pointed ears. Half-Isldar very rarely are born with naturally Black Hair. Half-Isldar have a unique set of Racial Abilities, however they do have access to Creator Harmony, despite their lack of connection to the Soul Rivers. As such, Creator Harmony can only occur for them due to radical personality changes, and not intentional. When Half-Isldar are born, they also have "No Attunement", meaning that none of the visual effects of Creator Harmony apply, until their personality shifts into one of the archetypes, after which their appearance can change. Inversely, when their personality normalizes, they can also return to No Attunement and lose visual changes.

* '''In Voltalëy:''' This Attunement turns their hair rusty-red, while their scales range anywhere from Carmine red to burgundy in color. Their body proportions and facial proportions also round more, while their claw-like fingers attain more rounded-nails instead of sharp.

* '''Common Traits:''' In Red Scale Attunement, body and facial hair is optional for all sub-races. Additionally, Red Scale Attunement also allows the Isldar to become more bulky or burly, or meaty and beefy, but these are entirely optional unlike the proportion changes of the other Attunements.
