Harlequin

Back to Encyclopedia

Created by the Goddess of the Arts Silka, Harlequins are magical creatures crafted with the specific purpose of creating art and performing for the other races of the world, naturally genderless, Harlequins wear masks that hide their true forms from the rest of society. The Harlequins not in service of any lords as entertainers usually travel in Caravans or join traveling circuses, but in essence most Harlequins are always on the road. Whilst genderless as previously mentioned most Harlequins do naturally see themselves as either male or female and will dress accordingly. As a people they have no true rulers or unity, unless you count Ring leaders of Caravans.

HARLEQUIN NAMES

Harlequins usually don't have a naming convention as their owners will usually give them names and that can differ quite a bit, when naming your Harlequin, consider where they come from. If a Harlequin is independent they usually just have the first thing they see when made as their name. The reason why they instantly know the name of what they're looking at is a byproduct of Harlequins who were made to order, since the first thing a Harlequin that was made for somebody will see is usually their owner, they were made to immediately know their name when they look at them
