Thin and blue skinned, Rowans are said to look otherworldly and their mystical nature and incredible intelligence seems to support this. They have natural control of the elements of magic and with their dexterous fingers can sew, gem craft, and tan easily, allowing them to master any handcraft. Artistic by nature, they are avid readers and theatre goers. They often devote their lives to the study of magic, alchemy, or anything else which intrigues the mind. Despite their short lifetimes, Rowans often become "bored" after easily learning everything in a few years that takes others lifetimes. Because of their high intellect they remain aloof and distant. Many are somewhat disdainful of other races, yet some look past racial lines to become great healers and teachers. Rowans have surprising patience and understanding.
