The tarolli are an old yet savage race. It is said their origins lie when the world was new, and a barbaric tribe of elves cross-bred with an unusually civilized band of trolls.
Tarolli skin can be any shade of green, from a chalky pastel green to a dark viridian like a leaf on a [...]
Blood Elves, or Sin’dorei (meaning “Children of the Blood” in their native Thalassian tongue), are a somewhat tragic race. Like the other Azerothian elves, the sin’dorei have suffered from an addiction to magic. It’s hit them particularly hard, though, and with the loss of their Sunwell they have resorted to dark and fel magics to [...]
A tribe of barbaric elves inhabit the forest of Mosh’tardin. They worship a silver-pawed ape god named Magdar, but this worship is almost responsible for wiping them out. Mosh’tardin is inhabited by another tribe, you see, a group of humans who also worship Magdar. They believe Magdar to be a bear with an adamantine paw, [...]
Life in the frigid north of Svalbard is difficult, but the resilient Muscovite people have long-prospered there. Their diet consists largely of gebbak, a tuber as tough and resilient as the Muscovites themselves. Raw it resembles the root of a particularly ugly old tree; cooked, it is very much like a potato in flavor and [...]
The Kayama, dwarves inhabiting Mount Fujikaya, are a particularly insular people; for many hundreds of years they’ve lived in the mountain, and most have never ventured outside of it. The Kayama worship Fujikaya as a god itself, and to leave it is a terrible burden.
Kayama society is extremely strict and structured. Petty criminals are put [...]
The elves are a fractious bunch; the largest elvish communities number perhaps a few hundred, and no elvish nation has more than a handful of such communities. This is not how it’s always been, though. There was a time when the elves were a united people, but that was a different time and a different [...]
all afflicted with the lazarus plague succumb to it. Whether they have some innate immunity or just an indomitable will to live, some continue living on despite it. Well, not living, so much, as persisting in a state between life and death.
Like all those afflicted by the plague, the ravaged wither and atrophy. However, their [...]
The Draead (singular draea, pronounced DRAY-add and DRAY-uh) are a race of half-fae treefolk. Draead are uniquely long-lived, making even the elves seem young in comparison; in fact, it is not entirely certain whether a draea actually can die of old age. Some scholars believe that the eldest draead were around at the beginning of [...]
There is a strange affliction in some cities… Adolescent boys, right around the age of puberty, suddenly and without warning simply run away. No explanation, no rhyme nor reason. One night they just leave their house and are never seen again. Rich children and poor children alike seem equally, and randomly, afflicted. Only a few [...]
The Lieperkin (singular and plural) are a very short race of humanoid fae which typically dwell in complicated tunnel structures located underground, but near the surface. They are paranoid and obsessed with wealth, always carrying around pots filled with gold coins to show off how much money they have.
Although they usually need not fear theft [...]
