Which is fine to me, I'm just glad to have it addressed before I start rping the chars at launch.

Also, Kage, totaly agreed there haha 5am.

Actually....

I think the plural form of all the race names are just that.

@_@

All the plural forms I see are for the separate clans. Highlanders and Midlanders.. sea wolves.. Seekers and Keepers.

My husband has been looking back at me like I was a lunatic while I've been speaking out-loud for the past fifteen minutes, trying to figure this out.

Au Ra is, probably, the correct plural. Same rules as fish, sheep, moose, etc.

"Au Ras" looks, sounds, and feels cumbersome and awkward.

However... "Auri" sounds and feels acceptable when speaking out-loud. I have a suspicion that this will probably become a "technically incorrect but casually accepted" thing. Similar to how, in speech, saying "Mark dove into the deep end of the pool" would be accepted, but the correct way to say or write it is "Mark dived into the deep end of the pool". Could even possibly be covered by the same rule that turns "goose" into "geese".

"Five Au Ra sat in a circle."

"Five Auri sat in a circle."

*shrugs*
