The Bjorn (dwarves) and Genari (gnomes) respect them and generally avoid conflict with them.  The Baran'G are both technologically advanced and naturalistic people.  They prefer that their technology not over shadow nature.  A significant technological advantage they have is the Cannon (6d6 damage) which they arm their ships with.  The other races have weaker versions of this technology.  The Tarans did not have cannon technology when they started a war with the Baran'G.  That mistake nearly anhilated them, until the Baran'G surrendered at the Battle of the Line.The Baran'G society has divided itself into 3 main classes, the religious, the warrior, and the worker.  This equates to the Cleric, Fighter and Commoner classes.  There are some Baran'G who posess arcane magic, and they advance as Sorcerers.  Sorcerers are highly respected and revered.  They lead a life of servitude to others, traveling, learning and lending their hand to aid others.The Baran'G government is a balanced council, with members from the 3 classes serving.There are a few general rules that describe Baran'G behavior:Baran'G do not lieBaran'G do not kill other Baran'GThe Baran'G are deeply religious.  They believe in reincarnation and destiny.  Thus, they do not kill one another, for they believe they are killing not just the person, but possibly one of their own ancestors.In the game, the Baran'G call themselves Baran'G.  The race itself is mapped to the player's handbook version of the Elf.  There are no subraces (no drow).  The humans, having no concept of an elf before this, also call them Baran'G.  The players, knowing that they are the elf race, may refer to them as elves.</blockquote>
