Ki'larn: The Known Races

Mapped with Campaign Cartographer 2

The whole landscape is dotted with numerous creatures. They go by different names in many areas, while one farmer from the Conclave of the Plow might know something by one name, a plains woman of the Twin Vales may know that same thing by a different name. The same holds true for the advanced races of the world. Players must always remember that the races, even though they may physically be very similar, will still have different social, racial, political, and spiritual beliefs. Information contained herein should act as a first step to fleshing out the races. Those in charge of the game should not stop at what is written in below, but make sure that each and every culture has its own difference, even if they are as minor as different coinage or different hair style, anything is a start that can make the world come alive. With that said, below are the known races.

To assist players in role-playing their character's knowledge the races are being broken up into different sections, Traveler, Resident, and Forbidden Knowledge. The Traveler section contains information that the average traveler would know about the race in question. The Resident knowledge contains information about the race that someone who lives near the race in question. The Forbidden knowledge section is for game masters only. It contains more detailed information that nobody would know, except the GM, and perhaps a character of that race.

Dwarves Traveler Lore Resident Lore Forbidden Lore Game Stats	Dwarves tend to be about 3 to 4 feet tall. Dwarves can be found in greater numbers in the shadows of the two Everfires. Because of their extensive clan lands in the north it is not uncommon to find dwarves just about anywhere. It is said that dwarves are all cut from the same stone, so they tend to take care of their own, even if they are unknown specifically. Dwarves are known to have long family lines as well as nobility.

Elves Traveler Lore Resident Lore Forbidden Lore Game Stats	Elves are tall, taller than humans on average, have pointed ears and are generally thin. They are the "diplomat race", who believe they must prevent wars to prevent the loss of any life. They are the explorers who try to understand other races to prevent killing for they believe the universe is a "musical piece" which every race adds something to.

Gnomes Traveler Lore Resident Lore Forbidden Lore Game Stats	Gnomes tend to stand a tad taller than their dwarven kin. They often have spots of facial hair and by far the most prominent feature is their large noses. With lighter colored hair only an occasional dark haired gnome is seen roaming the hills of western Ki’Larn. Gnomes are known for their inventions.

Humans Traveler Lore Resident Lore Forbidden Lore Game Stats	Humans are relatively tall bipeds. They have somewhat advanced societies towards the center lands. They are also somewhat numerous within the Twin Vales region as well. Most humans in the Lands are seen by some of the elder, longer lived races as impetuous and somewhat impulsive. The typical human settlement is made of individual families, usually only the upper class have any true lineage.

Kelds Traveler Lore Resident Lore Forbidden Lore Game Stats	Kelds often go out to adventure early on in their lives to accumulate wealth and those items they can fix. The young will be the ones who are very outgoing since they little to protect, but over time they begin to accumulate items and stay home to safeguard their hoard of treasures. They are the recyclers of the world, being able to turn much of what other cultures call junk and use it for other things.

Sitherans Traveler Lore Resident Lore Forbidden Lore Game Stats	Normally found in secluded villages that survive off of fishing and some harvesting, Sitherans are a biped that is a cross between a lizard and human. They stand about the same height as that of their human counterparts. Many are afraid of these 'lizard men,' as the average person knows very little of their culture or their race.

Triflings Traveler Lore Resident Lore Forbidden Lore Game Stats	Triflings are small winged folk standing between 8 to 14 inches tall, weighing only 1 to 2 pounds, and have pointed ears and high-toned voices. Their wings resemble those of a dragonfly. They are very lazy, as a general rule and are often thought of as a bane by farming villages.
