[QUOTE="Balrog, post: 1595195, member: 3543"] I should post a note here about the races of this world. Humans fall into 2 groups: the Northmen, and the Wulgash (a swarthy people that are refugees from a dying world). Elves are either Moon Elves(Drow) or Sun Elves, followers of the Vanir. Moon Elves are said to be the original race of Elves in the distant past, and they resisted the principles of Frey and the Sun Elves, namely love of agriculture and nature. Instead, the Moon Elves are masters at smithing, mining, and engineering. The Sun Elves love music, nature, the woods, the sea, and art. The Sun Elves fall into 3 categories, High Elves, Wood Elves, and Aquatic Elves. All Elves have a deep affinity to magic, although Moon Elves tend towards sorcery more than wizardry. (I use Drow out of the [B]Sword and Sorcery Burok Torn[/B] sourcebook) Dwarves are either Durin or Mosgonder, and there are also rumors of evil Dwarves deep beneath the Earth that have fallen under Hela's domain. The Durin are typical Mountain Dwarves. (I follow the guidelines out of the [B]Burok Torn[/B] sourcebook) The Mosgonder are known as Shield Dwarves, and have an affinity with the peaceful aspects of the wilderness and nature, and as such tend towards Druids and Rangers. Halflings and Gnomes are typical. Half-Orcs are typical. The world is also dotted with Genasi of various types, due to the elemental parenting which is quite common. Other various races have not come up yet for PCs, but Half-Dragons are not rare, nor are Half-Fiends or Half-Celestials. [/QUOTE]
