The Ynnwn possesses optimal physical and mental characteristics and they do not have any profession limitations, succeeding well in almost all the aspects of the Yliakum life. However, their unusual blood gives them a harmful sensitivity to precious metals. They prefer not to use gold, silver or platinum coins: contact with such metals provokes a skin rash. The wounds that they suffer from weapons plated with these metals are very painful, slow to heal and sometimes lethal. They instead tolerate the orichalc, although they prefer not to handle it too long because of the percentage of gold it contains. | The Ynnwn possesses optimal physical and mental characteristics and they do not have any profession limitations, succeeding well in almost all the aspects of the Yliakum life.

As Ynnwns are hybrids of an Elf with a Diaboli, Ynnwn are fluent in the languages of both their parents. However most adult Ynnwn prefer speaking the language of their elvish parent, be it [[Nolthrir]] or [[Dermorian]], rather than the language of their [[Diaboli]] parent.

| A male and female Ynnwn | ||
Physical Traits
The Ynnwn race is a strange but relatively frequent crossing between a Diabolo and an Elf. Two such opposite characters generate a type of giant, never shorter than two meters, with dark red skin. Ynnwn have pointed ears and white hair and rarely do they grow horns or tails, although in some cases these are present. They are from 2.00 m to 2.30 m tall.

Language
Main article: Ynnwn Language
As Ynnwns are hybrids of an Elf with a Diaboli, Ynnwn are fluent in the languages of both their parents. However most adult Ynnwn prefer speaking the language of their elvish parent, be it Nolthrir or Dermorian, rather than the language of their Diaboli parent. This is due to the fact that they don't see their polygamous parent as often and therefore the cultural influence is lesser.
During their youth, however, when living in a location with many other Ynnwn both young and old, Ynnwn will often also use the words of the Diaboli language together with Elvish grammatical rules. This is often referred to as the Ynnwn Language.
