Powerful merchant families and the church are involved in many levels of intrigue- all trying to control a small area of land. Politics and social backstabbing is common - and the only way to advance in their society.The basic alignment of dwarves is LE. Players have the option of any corollary alignment: LE, LN, NE, TNElves are literally a race of legend- their entire religion revolves around stories of their past. Their "gods" are their past heroes and villians. The only way to get into the afterlife is to live a life worthy of stories- otherwise you are reincarnated as an elf to try again, as you are if your story is forgotten. Bards are the most respected figure in their society- they act as priests, judges, and educators. Their laws are very light- and basically revolve around "do unto others..". They have little respect for authority and have dealt with centuries of invasion. The basic alignment of elves is CN. Players have the option of any corollary alignment: CN, CG, NG, TN, NE, CEAs I said- in each campeign this changes.In my last one elves had disappeared, dwarves were NG, and goblins were LE (which is how we had a TN gob druid pc).  Within the context of their race- they have as much freedom as that allows. They are not human- you would never see an elven or dwarven paladin in my current campeign. It is not because an elf would not want to become a paladin, it is not in their nature to even consider it an option. They can not want to become a paladin. It would be like bringing your goldfish to the park and trying to get it to go fetch your frisbee. It is just beyond the ability of the goldfish. I make their culture and society interesting- my players seem to like it. Personally, I don't understand how a dm could shrug their shoulders and say all races act just like humans. Why bother having the other races at all?But, I don't play in their games, so it is not my concern.Respectfully submittedFD</blockquote>
