I have a few other races out there, but the characters would have to get outside of their current country to find them. The game is a PBeM, and therefore slow, so it may be years before that happens.As for the humanoids, I have a theme. The current evil wizards & cultists need shock troops, so they are breeding them. Turns out that if you cross a human male with an elf woman, add a few judicious potions during gestation and you get orcs! Unfortunately, they don't breed true. Orcs crossed with anything (even other orcs) beget goblins. Goblins beget goblins. So orcs are prized fighters, tough and well trained. Goblins just get thrown at the front.Kobolds were a miserable failed experiment, the useless failures were expelled and left to die. They survived, with strange creation myths that mix fantasy and fact. Gnolls were another failure, too wild to control. Again tossed out, and again living in the wild somewhere. Hobgoblins may prove to be better than orcs! Evil cultists with big plans certainly hope so!PS</blockquote>
