Races

Primary Races

While the setting has many different perspectives that could yield some interesting stories, the current plans are for humanity and those connected to them directly. Commonly known to consist of a majority human, and a minority of gnomes.

Peripheral Races

These races are generally allied with humanity, but are not known about by most people. They do not generally make their identity known due to the social stigma, or other consequenses. As they are more or less human, they usually try to blend in and pass as a somewhat normal human.

They all come with a more or less secret background. Talk with the DM if you wish to play as one.
