The topic title has been altered. If it needs further altered, I am open to suggestions. While I think what you did is pretty interesting, I am in need of feedback on what I wrote. @aco175 was most helpful.

Thanks! I worry about the spells because what doesn't sound over powered could easily become it. I'll change that now :)

These are based on the old linnorms of 2nd and 3rd edition. They are also (slightly) based on Norse myth, but the "based on" is petty superficial. In the setting, the linnorm dragons are not forces of evil but rather protectors of the World Tree, with each having an area they protect. They can...

If you're following this thread, I'm going to be altering things as I go, changing out origins and seeing if I can get something I actually like. So, if notifications are not your thing, please feel free to unwatch if you're watching (it's not like I know). Of course, if you want to help, please...

There are already the Dragonmarks, so making knacks that are somewhat similar to them should be possible. The main thing is that to be the figures of tall tales they'd need to do some really extraordinary things. This isn't impossible, especially for spellcasters, but there could be a mechanism...

Ick. I mostly remember the puns; it's been a long time since I've read one, so I likely missed this the first time around (and this really isn't giving me a motive to do a second). nods I was already thinking that a lot of the Fearsome Critters would make for some really unique monsters in the...

Oh dear.

I previously posted a rather odd idea for a setting that was created by the Fey Courts and Dragon Courts. This was inspired by some of the Jack tales mixed with some Tall Tales (here in the US they involve such figures as Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, and Pecos Bill). These sorts of tales also...

The TLDR is the title. The rest is how it came to be :p

Some world building that came into my head. Thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. As a forewarning, these sections are long and went into my head in a sort of "Tall Tale" fashion that I don't write well.

There are also places like Járnviðr (Iron-Wood) and ironwood in D&D, so whether by nature or by processing something similar could happen. Of course, the processing causing another elf-dwarf issue is interesting.

Stranger things have happened; one need only look at the Drow to see how a species can change when their environment does. They could even make their homes aboard giant turtles like the zaratan or something like the aspidochelone.

I really was not thinking along the lines of Conan the Barbarian or the more ridiculous 'horned helmed' types that didn't exist outside operas. Generally, I was thinking along the lines of RL Scandinavian cultures (which I know are multiple), but more generically since the Dwarves of D&D don't...

It's always "look what nifty items we came up with for killing people with" and never "look what nifty items we came up for farming with". Like, people may want to argue about the Medievalesque look if magical industry takes off, but there's actually fewer reasons to change the appearance of...

I would agree that it's unlikely Dwarves would want to be too reliant on other species for staples. They've almost certainly got potatoes if those exist. Barbeque could definitely be a thing. I'm sure at least some Dwarves would be wood carvers, especially of more durable types of wood. I'd...
