The Races

**THE PROMINENT RACES IN THE WORLD OF NARLATHIA**

Not counting subraces or species.

**HUMANS**

Humans, the most well known and wide-spread of all races on Narlathia, have spread throughout all corners of the world. The continent of Goricia is their main habitat, and the isles surrounding it. Furthermore, they're spread into two categories; Northmen, and Southernfolk.

**THE NORTHMEN** are known to be savage raiders hailing from the Frozen North. They have a tendency to plunder and raid lands ripe with resources, like the northern shores of Goricia. Not much is known about them, except that they have their own complex mythology, and worship the god Draugadrottin in their own, unique way. The god favours them most of all. It is said that the leader of the Descendants of Galdur is a northman.

**THE SOUTHERNFOLK** are known to be a noble yet strict people hailing from the south, from the continent of Kreeda. There, they have established a prominent kingdom of their own, and have become a major power of the world. They are generally lead by a Pharaoh.

**ELVES**

Elves in this world are not widespread at all, and mainly keep to themselves, with few caring to travel out in the world. They reside in The Feylands, though Drow Elves are often found throughout the world, and High Elves are found in Cinthrael, the City of Mages, quite often. The High Elves also adore travel. Half-Elves are often found traveling, as a result of exile, or else.

**DWARVES**

The Dwarves, like the Elves, like to keep to themselves in their mountain kingdoms, and although not much is heard of them, they do maintain political contact with most of the world. They are known to be in an alliance with the Gnomes, boosting their technological advancement heavily, making the Dwarves a powerful race, indeed. The Dwarves have a heavy grudge against the elves, over constant past quarrels.

**GNOMES**

The Gnomes are quite plentiful in the world, though only because of travel. Situated on their island, they mainly inhabit a large mountain city by the name of Gnomearagan, which is said to be a sprawling underground and mountain metropolis of various technologies and marvels.

**HALFLINGS**

Halflings are a rare sight in the world; they mainly inhabit the areas west of Goricia, where not many care to go, as it is a heavily forested area with many cliffs and few vital resources.

**ORC**

Orcs are known to inhabit the Warakki Wastes, and most are terrified of them, as they are a powerful force when united. Fortunately for most, the Orcs are caught in a horrendous civil war between 3 major tribes, laying waste to their islands as they go about it.

**DRAGONBORN**

The Dragonborn are doing very well for themselves, and have been a prominent name in the world for centuries; their sprawling empire in the southern lands, the Rahu Empire, has been in constant expansion and is said to be the greatest in the entire world, with the quarter of a whole continent making up their capital of golden spires, running waterfalls and lush oases. Those outside of this, however, are considered lowborn or bastards, and are generally not accepted. As a result, Dragonborn can often be seen wandering or seeking residence elsewhere. They've formed some colonies on Golicia, and a few subspecies of the race are known to inhabit the Frozen North.

**LEONIN**

The Leonin are adored by nigh all in the world, and are a very powerful kingdom in the southern continents, being a rival to the Rahu Empire, who is actively seeking to destroy the Leonin or subjugate them, in general.

**AARAKOCRA**

The Aarakocra are known to be one of the greatest sources of information in the world, and have boosted scientific and literal advancement for thousands of years throughout all of the world; they own a powerful empire in the mountains of the Varden Isle in the southern lands, and are untouchable to most. However, as of recent, they've gone quiet, for reasons unknown.

**GOLIATH**

Goliaths are known to inhabit the mountains of the Frozen North, and tend to be reclusive and keep to their own. There are very, very few sightings of Goliath in general in the world.

**GENASI**

Genasi generally don't have a city or area of their own, and live amongst other races. They are generally extraordinarily rare.

**AASIMAR**

The Aasimar don't have a specific spot in the world either, and generally are known to keep to other races, mostly Leonin and Humans, as they understand them the best. Some Aasimar are known to have gone dark, and joined up with all sorts of unsavory company.

**LIZARDFOLK**

Lizardfolk are known to inhabit the Black Marsh, and there is very, VERY little known about them in general. They are assumed to be savage barbarians based on what few glimpses are known of their culture, and the only two pieces are one's corpse and a maimed explorer who was returned aboard a ship.

**TABAXI**

Tabaxi are known to hail from a mysterious, unnamed island the name of which only they know. It is said to be the most southern of all lands, and lies below the two southern continents, opposite to the Verdan Isle. Tabaxi are a relatively rare sight, but as they are curious and explorative, they are known to most races.

**TRITON**

Tritons do not have a major colony except for the isle that holds Vaiar, the Dread Hold. As such, they are forced to tolerate the Yuan-Ti presence on the isle, and as a result, mostly make their homes on the beaches and waters.

**TORTLE**

Tortles are known to originate from the same location as the Tabaxi, and coexist with them in relative peace.

**LOXODON**

The Loxodon coexist with the Southernfolk of Kreeda, and live in peaceful societies, maintaining trade with the Southernfolk settlements and capital.

**VEDALKEN**

Vedalken are the founders of Cinthrael, the City of Mages, and the entirety of their population resides there, with very few travelling. They tend to be reclusive, and keep to their studies in the city and its surroundings, mostly only leaving home to investigate for field research.
