Children of Light and Shadow
Half-Tirrdaka are what usually happens when a Tirrdaka and a member of another race have a child with each other. While it's not 100% guaranteed that the child of a Tirrdaka and another race is a Half-Tirrdaka, it is very common, to the point where it can sometimes seem a bit odd when it doesn't happen. Many Half-Tirrdaka are half Human, simply because humans are pretty much everywhere, but half-tirrdaka can be half any race that isn't a Tirrdaka (and is able to, obviously, reproduce).
Half-Tirrdaka usually tend to look like their Non-Tirrdaka parent's race, with a few differences. Sometimes these differences are relatively small, like having one or two black fangs, or a black sclera and differently colored eye on one side. Sometimes, the differences are more obvious, like horns, patches of fur or scales, etc. As with Half-Elves, Half-Tirrdaka are often considered children of two worlds, especially if they're half-human, as their significantly lenghtened lifespan and lack of aging makes them stick out. When among other Illiadian races though, Half-Tirrdaka tend to flourish and live very good and satisfying lifes.

Racial Traits
Ability Scores: Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2; choose any other +1 (b) Choose any +1; choose any other +1; choose any other +1
Age: Half-Tirrdaka age at about the same rate as humans until they're 21 years old. After this, they'll stop aging physically besides via magical means, and can live up to between 200 and 300 years old, should they succumb to Ha'zas Syndrome. Half-Tirrdaka with a parent that naturally lives longer, such as elves, often can live up to 500 or 700 years old. If they don't die from Ha'zas Syndrome, they can't die of old age anymore, effectively making them capable of living forever.
Alignment: Due to their exposure to Shadow-Ena, Tirrdaka and Half-Tirrdaka tend to lean slightly towards chaotic alignments, even though lawful Tirrdaka are definitely not unheard of.
