These highly intelligent little people are renowned for their intuitive understanding of technology. Like the High People, their lineage stretches back long before the age of ruin. They are kindly, social, and quick-thinking. The Nim live community-oriented lives, and tend to get along well with people of all races. The old saying goes, “A Nim is a friend to everyone and a foe to none.”

The Great Builder

The Nim are among the world's eldest races; it is said the Nim were involved in the construction of the Magic City itself. The Bridge of Teyat, in fact, is a technology of Nim design. Though the Nim are regarded as half-humans by Midworlders, among the High People they are highly respected for the millennia of knowledge their people accrued since the earliest days of the ancient world. In the Scrolls of Elsene, the queen speaks of a "Great Builder," equal in power and knowledge to herself, whose abilities derived not from Yevna but forces that pre-existed the Yevim on earth.

Nim Physiology

Nim longevity is on par with that of the Yevim, though they are not immortal. A famous, five-hundred year old Nim sage resides in the library at Ambion; other ancient Nim, whose familiarity with ancient history stretches back a queen or two into Muraius, take up residence in magical academies in Telrain. Wherever there is something to be learned, you will find a Nim, as their curiosity and intelligence has fueled their existence since the dawn of the ages.
