For creatures of their size, the arcane are noticeably weak and non-combative. They can defend themselves when called upon, but prefer to talk and/or buy themselves out of dangerous situations. If entering an area that is potentially dangerous (like most human cities), the arcane hires a group of adventurers as an entourage. Society. Nothing is known about the arcane's origins; they come and go as they please, and are found throughout the known worlds.
