Prest
An honorable and powerful race of warriors, the Prest is a brutal and surprisingly intelligent people. Their civilization thrives on conquest and in the land of Nitheria, they are the secondary caste, directly behind the Halflings in political standing. They stand anywhere from 5’5 to 6’8, and fighting is the number one thing on their minds. With dark purple skin and angry, stoic faces, many humanoid races are fearful of them, but for all of their negative demeanors, they are not nearly as dumb as they look and are actually very loyal once befriended. Prest are long-lived, with fables of venerable warriors living up to 500 years, though the average lifetime is about 250. They start to notice the ware of age at 200, but live to be strong until they die.

A homebrew race I built for my campaign setting The Untamed Tundra, this is my first homebrew, so I really need someone to look it over and tear it apart. It seems like it might be a little overpowered, but I don't have any experience.
