The Kor are a mountainous species who have strong connections towards family and connections. Unlike dwarves, this group is nomadic, but the Kor always keep deep reverence towards the locations that they travel between.

Appearance

Kor have grey or white skin and slightly elongated skulls. They are known for their silvery pupilless eyes and grey hair. The males have small barbels hanging from their chin that emulate beards.

en-kor and il-kor

As with many of MtG's races, the kor have been displaced onto many different plains. While most kor tended to keep together, a major split happened in their race. The il-kor were those who dropped their nomadic lifestyle and lived within a large stronghold. After a major shift in plains, the il-kor were trapped in the ethereal plane. Because of these two new changes, their outlook on life changed from that of a normal en-kor. Their new group slowly learned to control their etherealness, but they had changed from nomads to spies.
