Races of Anor Mundus

Blank Template

## Humans & Near-Human

Humanity and its offshoot species were not always on Anor Mundus. According to all known lore, humanity lived in a technological paradise known as Azant, although records and beliefs surrounding this now mythical homeworld are conflicting and often unreliable.

Azant relied on highly advanced technology fuelled by a substance named eternium, many of which made their way to Anor Mundus but would stop functioning. Humanity of Azant also practiced heavy eugenics and crossbreeding, creating the ogres and Halflings who would follow them to Anor Mundus. The ultimate fate of Azant remain a mystery, but legend speaks of the coming of the eternal darkness and of the sun's demise which caused human to flee onto Anor Mundus' soil.

### **Subspecies**

One peculiar trait about humanity (which has earn them mockery from native races) is the ability to successfully reproduce with many species of mammalian humanoids or outsiders.

## Goblinoids

The goblinoid races are an offshoot of the Nol-Rodan Cyclops which dominated centros during the ages of dawn and Monoliths. In the modern era, they have propagated across much of the world.

* Hob
* Goblin
* Bugbear
* Orc

## Vanir / Elves

The Vanir are a species of alien beings hailing from a realm they call the first world which was originally perfect and unchanging until a cataclysm occurred, causing the Vanir to go into exile, which in turn led them to anor Mundus at the tail end of the age of megaliths upon the frozen land of Kiliban.

The Vanir are a race particularly sensitive to magical forces and after their arrival and subsequent dispersal rapidly mutated into different subspecies. Although long lived, all Vanir suffer from a condition called the degeneration where their mind and bodies are altered as they age, generally for the worst.

## Beastfolks

The Beastfolks are the primary native inhabitants of Anor Mundus and have existed since far before the beginning of recorded history. Although they are similar to certain breeds of animals, (and despite the musing of non-native races) Beastfolk are reproductively incompatible with their animal kindred and often do not particularly afford them any special status.
