Anakim are a race of half-angels, a cross-breed between an Angel and any Namegiver 
Race, though they don't have the racial qualities of the race. Anakim are frailer than 
Elves and are BELIEVED to be immortal, this is because no Anakim has ever staid in 
Barsaive long enough to determine natural lifespan. The Anakim have two 
forms; a good-looking, 6'7" tall man or woman, with blond, brown or red hair, wings
and sapphire blue, emerald green, silver gray or golden yellow eyes; and the form of
their Barsaivian half but with the same color of eyes as in Anakim form.
Anakim live in floating cities, magically removed from Barsaivian and Theran sight.
About Anakim social structure very little is known, although it is believed they 
follow the orders of true Angels, Seraphim or Cherubim. Many Anakim live among us in
Namegiver form, looking and acting much the same as normal Barsaivians except they 
often look at the sky. Anakim tend to keep their true origin from us and if they 
do show us their true origin, it will seldom be in crowded places. Anakim from whom
is known their true origin often retreat back to the Cloud Cities.
