Races of the Southern Continent

The Southern Continent has many similarities with its neighbors to the north in terms of races and cultures. There are even some clans of drow today that have physical ties to those that made the Northern Continent their homeland. Yet despite the similarities, there are marked differences between the lands of the north and south in terms of those that have claimed the land and call it home with some of those differences being historical and others being more recent. Below is a comprehensive list of the races found in the Southern Continent.

## **Races of Har'Ol'Nek' Preya**

The city of Har'Ol'Nek'Preya straddles the line between people who have come from the north and those native to the south who fled to this cavern to seek shelter from the rising demonic hordes that swept through at the end of the Moon Age. Most of those who dwell in Har'Ol'Nek' Preya are the same races that can be found north, although they may come from different roots all together, notably of course being that those of drowussu blood within the city do not necessarily come from the same tribe of light elves and there being some sub-species of naga that are native only to the Southern Continent.
