Lineage

Jotan
Giants are simple, docile creatures that thrive in colder climates. An evolutionary offshoot of humans that drifted from the majority, becoming much taller than their distant relatives. Giants tend to adore halflings, probably due to their mutual appreciation for the natural world.

Rubean
Rubeans are half giant, half human, sometimes indistinguishable from either. They’re well accepted among their giant and human counterparts, as the two species have lived in relative harmony for many generations.

Sapian
Human culture spreads far and wide (to the chagrin of other cultures) as their reputation as travelers & settlers takes them across the map. While often peaceful, humans occasionally exhibit a bloodlust for expansion and aren’t afraid to resort to conquest.

Thalen
Short, robust, raucous & jolly, Dwarves are widely known for their great strength, from their history as a mining culture. They often dwell in caves, where they build formidable underground cities centered around the mining of rare and magical metals.

Huldran
Sylvans are half-elf, half-human and may find themselves a pariah in the eyes of some. Eons of war between humans and elves have generated tension between the two peoples, elves have long held the belief that humans are reckless & uncouth, while many humans find the elves arrogant & elitist.

Dryad
Elves are graceful & highly disciplined. Tall & slender in comparison to humans, though elven warriors are renowned throughout history. Most elven cultures dwell in the forest, erecting tall, elegant cities within the trees. The elves are commonly territorial, even xenophobic, which has led to war & conflict with humans throughout history.

Delvan
The Delvans are a rare cross between elves & dwarves. The elven elite look down upon them, but the dwarves are far more accepting. Much like humans, elves find dwarves crude, but since they generally keep to themselves in their caves, there is little conflict between the two.

Floran
Halflings are similar in stature to a human child. Their small size and keen senses make them sly and extremely hard to catch. While most races eventually settled in cities, halflings preferred life in small communities, driven by horticulture and a love of all things nature.
