While talimari are considered the most abundant of their species on Neivaun, they are only one subspecies of mari. There are several kinds, each one based off certain native animals. Carimari, bachimari, and yarimari to name a few. As well, mixed breeds are referred to as urimari. The prefix of each being the animal they were created based on.

Queenie, while not a talimari, still feels the natural draw of magic, but has a stronger natural affinity for physical combat. The mixture resulting in her becoming a spellsword. And while all but the most inadequate wizards can cast a wide range of magical spells, some more specialized magic that Queenie has found herself interested in may be a little out of reach. In her attempts to properly control these blessings spells, she might find herself overburdened with the weight of its effects. Or maybe it will result in a strange new weapon for her to use.

So while I have always sort of had the idea that talimari were just one race of a 'mari' species, I never committed to it. The reason being that I wasn't sure if talimari were just going to be elves with animal blended in with them to make them significantly more powerful wizards or if they would be their own thing. (To build off the mutative nature of a certain element in the world) Well, I'm going to go ahead with the latter idea and give them the room as a species to have more variety of appearances and function. So while talimari remain the defacto 'wizard' race, some of their subspecies can have a little more gearing toward other professions. (Though they all still have a natural draw toward magic)
