Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jacob the Impaler" data-source="post: 2992162" data-attributes="member: 42087">Thanks, I'll have to check that Baba Yaga thing out.Some ideas I've come up with:Humans: Overwhelmingly dominant in the region. Most live in fortified farming or logging villages on the edges of the great forests and frigid mountain rivers. The villagers are no strangers to trouble, and most have at least one level in warrior from fighting back a steady flow of monsters from the forest. Because of the constant threats, the fuedal system works remarkably well. Peasants love the support of the king's soldiers, and hard work and limited freedom seems like a small price to pay in exchange for protection.Elves: Not the happy tree-huggers in the rulebooks. They're more like magical, shifty forest people who manipulate nature for their own ends. They make small, chaotic communities among the dark pines, using magic to protect them from the dangers of the forest. Most of the time they are tolerated by humans, although in many places people put their guard up. Sometimes they help human out with their magic when they see a benefit, although they usually ask for sacrifices that can range from large amounts of wine to newborn children.Dwarves: Lived in the region long before anyone else, but their numbers are dwindling due to incursions by hobgoblins and dragons. Their centuries-old stone bridges in the valleys are still used by humans. For the most part, they stay in their mountain strongholds, emerging only to trade with humans or strike against the forest denizens at the base of their mountains. They sometimes come into open war with the elves, although they are often defeated due to their unfamiliarity with the forest and magic. They make the best weapons and armor in the land, and they alone know the secret of making enchanted steel.More to come when I think of stuff...</blockquote>
