Races

The following races exist in the world, they are represented using one or more core races (you find them in parenthesis):

Humans (Humans/Variant Human).- Humans are the main race in the world. They however have several offshots:

  • Boreans (Dwarf) - Huge and resilient Northern humans.  They adapted to the cold climates close to the poles.
  • Nymphlings (Gnome)- Fairer and more delicate humans that can be skilled in the magic arts. They mostly come from the tropical coasts around the inner sea. Some claim to be the descendants of immortals.


Lomari (Elf) - They are humanoids with fox-like features. Tall and lean, with pointy furry ears. They have claw-like nails that they hone and use as weapons. (This is a reflavored version of elven shortsword proficiency)
  • Zeroes (Half-elves).- Zeroes are humans with Lomari ancestry. They look more human-like than Lomari-like. However, every few generations, some discover magical talents comparable to their ancestors. When they do so, their features turn Lomari-like and become undistinguishable from "pure" Lomari.


Gubelim (Dragonborn, Tiefling, Drow) - They are spirit-like creatures, many live in the dark and prefer to mess in the matters of humans from afar. The greater ones are even worshiped as deities. However weaker ones sometimes live among humans and make a display of their supernatural gifts openly.

Shubbet (Halflings) - Fluffy and carefree small humanoids (think muppets). Many of them make a living as indentured servants to other races. Their childlike demeanor and immature ways make them essentially playmates and guardians to children, and they typically remain under the care of their "masters" once they grow up.

Nephilim (Tiefling, Drow) - Humans with angelic ancestry. They display angelic and demonic qualities.

Bearaler (Half-orc)- Antisocial loner bear-like humanoids. These creatures seem to have evolved from ursines. They don't have a proper society of their own, with each Bearaler leading a lone isolated existence and keeping a personal hunting ground. They have no understanding of social constructs of any kind, not even gender. The closest thing they have to a culture is their own language that is passed on to cubs, but once they have grown enough to fend for themselves, they are thrown out never to gather with their kind again except to mate, or to join temporal hordes under a strong leader to invade new territories.
Sometimes Bearalers that find themselves without a territory wander into human lands and join military or mercenary groups.
