Species of Parvolon

This article is a guide to all humanoid species on the continent of Parvolon. These include the major species, which are playable in large parts of the world and have about equal capability, as well as minor species, which are only playable on DM approval in the region of the world they are native to. Additionally, most minor species are endangered and are being displaced by the Evolvi in their native environment, gaining an almost mythical status.

This article will only provide general descriptions of each species. For more detailed information, see any linked pages on the species in their section below.

## Common Species

The following are the five major species of Parvolon. These have sizeable populations, and are playable in large portions of the world.

### Evolvi

*Further information: Evolvi*

The Evolvi are the most populous humanoid species on the continent of Parvolon. They mostly resemble humans, but have a special animalistic or naturalistic feature that diversifies them. They are well adapted to most environments, and have the largest expanse of any playable species. Evolvi are one of the most interesting species to play as with a diverse set of skills, but are also not too foreign in playstyle to other humanoid species.

### Elves

*Further information: Elves*

The Elves are the second most populous humanoid species on the continent of Parvolon, and one of the five Major Species of Parvolon. Their design mirrors that of other elven species from high fantasy, although there are no analogues for dark elves in the species. Elves are defined by their high affinity for magic, but at the cost of fragile bodies.

### Orcs

*Further information: Orcs*

The Orcs are the third most populous humanoid species on the continent of Parvolon, and one of the five Major Species of Parvolon. Their appearance mirrors that of other Orcish species from high fantasy, however the exact similarities end there. Orcs stereotypically value strength more than anything else. Someone who is strong deserves respect. And someone who is weak, should not "be in the pack".

### Skala

*Further information: Skala*

The Skala are the second-least populous of the major species in Parvolon, rarer than Evolvi, Orcs, and Elves by fair amount but more common than Avians. They are an anthropomorphic dragon-like species, known for their gritty survival skills and a natural affinity for evocation magic. They have historic ties to dragons, with relations that have been symbiotic, reverent, or under brutal serfdom, varying community by community.

### Avians

*Further information: Avians*

Avians are the least populous of the major species of Parvolon, having a much smaller population than other major species. Avians are anthropomorphic birdlike creatures, and are the only major species where all of its members have wings. While they have weaker arm strength than other species, their unparalleled movement abilities fundamentally change how their combat strategies and societies function.

Though their facial and upper torso features may closely resemble those of humanoid races, there are still clear hints of their non-humanoid descent. The most obvious is that a Peqorrah has horns on its head resembling that of its lower body counterpart. has the A thin, velveteen layer of fur covers most of their upper torso aside from their face and belly, they have pointed and mobile ears and their noses resemble strongly snubbed snouts.
