Half Ael or Iska are a mixture of Ael and Human Blood, where the Ael Legacy has become dominant. Not necessarily the direct result of an ael and human pairing but definitely from a human parent with an Ael bloodline. Any child born to a pairing of Ael and human will be a Half Ael. However occasionally a human family can produce a Half Ael from having both human parents.
Half Ael are caught in a strange quandary are they ael or human? Rejected by most High Ael and all Dark Ael, accepted by Wild and embraced by humanity.
Males stand around 5’10” and females 5’5” like humans but they are lithe like their Ael kin. They sport slightly tapered ears and tend to lack facial and body hair. They also inherit the hair and eye colour of the Ael parent or ancestor. Be it High, Wild or Dark Ael.
Half Ael mature the same as humans hit puberty at around 12, adulthood at 20, however middle age is half that of the Ael ancestor and the die at half their Ael ancestors normal lifespan. Half Ael do become infirm around 10 years before their lives end. High Ael call the Half Ael, Iska (this translates to the word Pale, this is not a derogatory term but an arrogant labelling).
