Thread: Grotty Fantasy

It has been a while since my last update, but I suppose I should continue with my setting. With a drink at hand and some appropriate music, in this case I am listening to Hammers of Misfortune's The Bastard album, and so am ready to continue. At first I had thought that I should provide some possible characters. Sadly I don't have any truly, though a few drift in my skull like Dolmance the disgraced swordsman, Siena the abled Amazonian or Dar my agile thief who dabbles in assassination. With so little details for these, or others, I feel I should speak as to who occupies the fantastical city of my head. Let me give my city a name, Novum Crosier. At it's root is a hack of Vornheim by Zak S. of DD with Pornstars and Corpathium by Logan of Last Gasp. I provide this information should anyone seek out their respective blogs as they are truly fascinating. Now some of these details are stolen straight from Logan I do try to interject some of my own thought or others stolen from else where. The people I shall describe are the Moors, Morgen, Sranc, Cathars, Nonmen, Dogheads, Amazons, Beguines and Goblins. Moors, are a people steeped heavily in mysticism. They posses a skin that is jet black in appearance, their eyes have no pupils and are an intense milky white. Most seem to be traders and merchants and it is whispered that they can taste lies when spoken to them. Morgen, a complex people who upon their births are devoted to one of their strange star gods. Complex calculations are utilised to determine who they serve, giving them their surname. Their skin is alabaster, almost translucent, in its whiteness, their eyes epicanthic. They practise a most unusual act in that upon the death of one of their own they will ritually consume it. Sranc, the pale mongrel men that are much akin to our own worlds Germanic, Franc and English populations. Cathars, the seemingly more civilised cousins of the Sranc. They ascribe to a history that is rich in its honour but just as bloody. They have only been at the game of empires longer. Nonmen, based upon the creatures of Moorcocks's Melnibonians. They are ageless elven creatures that inhuman morality that view humanity as little more then cockroaches at their feet. Most of them have vanished from the world, preferring their own little demi-planes of existence as they slowly die out. It is rumoured that their women are barren. Doghead, are mostly human in appearance save for one crucial aspect. As their name emplies they have the heads of dogs. They are a devote race with many theologians and mystics. Just as much they are an inquisitive people that full well know the value of a careful trap. Amazon, these are warrior woman who have spurned the society of all others. Their trust in the strength of arms as lead to an interesting practise where they will capture male fighters of suitable strength to live amongst them. Some say that they need not the company of man to reproduce. Beguines, are a unique group as they are not a racial grouping of any sort but the result of woman finding regular society not to their liking and seeking an answer within spiritual matters. They are a welcoming sort to any wandering mystic or theologian but other wise insular in their commune styled existence. Goblins, are a people diminutive and green in hue. They are generally wild and short lived in comparison to others. They hail from the tribes of God and Magog and are required to pay a stranger tax when they choose to reside within the walls of Novum Crosier. These are the people of the city, now their could be other smaller populations within its borders but they would not amount to a full percentage of the statical composition of Novum Crosier.
