General World Overview.

  1. RACES

    Humanoids - roughly human appearance, likely interfertile
    • Humans
    • Kinuks - a seafaring race. Short, hairy, and burly. Many raid other civilizations for provisions, though some have settled down and become self-sufficient. Simply: Dwarven Vikings
    • Alfar - a tall and long-lived race. They are reclusive and tend to live in mountainous regions. Simply: Mountain-dwelling (Tolkienian) Elves
    • Brownies - tiny people a few inches tall. Interact parasitically with other races, but avoid direct contact. Often utilize discarded/stolen items of larger races for new purposes. Simply: Brownies, (Traditional) Elves, Minish, Borrowers
    • Trolls - hideous in appearance but usually good in heart. Lovers of beauty and master craftsmen. Usually live alone in scattered caves.
    • Goblins - warlike nomads. Barely civilized, often take over a previous civilizations city rather than build their own. Very superstitious

    Man-beasts - bipedal but possessing animal characteristics and appearance. I am seriously considering removing these, as neither were my own creation
    • Flett - man-cats. Known for their heightened senses. Catlike face, body hair, retractable claws, prehensile tail. Irises have a striking "marbled" appearance.
    • Scorpion-clan - yes, those same desert-dwelling scorpion scorpion men as in Abculatter's world. Quoted: "nomads wondering the Central Desert in a struggle to survive. They rarely intervene on the affairs of other races. They are tribal and shamanistic, and the youngest of the races. They do not have skin, rather a hard, air-tight exo-skeleton which can withstand impressive amounts of punishment, along with a poisonous scorpion-like tail which is their name-sake."

    Dragons -two of the four races of dragon are sapient
    • Drakes - Large body, usually long neck. Quadrupedal with two wings on back. Long lived. Temperaments vary, but well known for hoarding valuables. Simply: European Dragon
    • Wyrms/Wurms - Long, thin body. Presence and number of limbs/wings variable with breed. Longest lived of all sentient races, and generally considered the wisest. Simply: Chinese Dragon

    Other
    • Traal - shadowy, demonic creatures. Very rare, little is known about them.

    MAGIC

    Magic manifested as "flames".

    Elemental Magics

    All spells are a combination of some or all of these magics.
