Race Demon Fiendish beings of the dark planes — embodiments of chaos and malice, though individual demons often have agendas that go beyond simple evil.

Race Deep Ones Pale gill-bellied folk of the pressure vaults. They surface only to drag, and they consider the pull a promise the deep keeps.

Race Dark Elf A dark-skinned elven lineage of the deep places — violet-to-black skin, eyes that glow in the dark, and a history that runs through fire.

Race Cockatrices Crested, serpent-tailed fowl of the roost. A hundred eggs in a single nest, each one a threat. The mother decides which hatch.

Race Crow Men Black-plumed carrion-kin of the great tree whose economy is built on bones, feathers, and the trade of information.

Race Chimeras Three-parted beasts of the mosaic crags. Lion-front, goat-mid, serpent-tail — each part a different animal, and the mother decides which.

Race Centaurs Nomads of the open plains — half human, half horse, who do not ride because they are the ride.

Race Cat Men Lean, fast feline humanoids — slit pupils, retractable claws, and the unhurried confidence of apex predators.

Race Basilisks Scaled, gaze-wielders of the cavern. A look is a weapon, and the cavern answers the look.

Race Bear Men Massive furred kin of the deep forest who hibernate as a sacred rite and consider the long sleep a promise the forest keeps.

Race Boar Men Tusked barrens-kin whose tusks are polished status and whose foraging lines are run by the stocky females.

Race Bugbears Hulking swamp-ambushers with club-jaws — they plan the kill, they set the trap, and they consider the swamp a debt the water owes them.

Deity Brakka, the Unbroken Word God of oath and law. She speaks once, and it is law. A broken oath cracks her hall forever.

Race Bat Men Folded-wing cavern-kin of the dark who hunt by sonar and consider the echo the only honest voice.

Race Angel Celestial beings of divine purpose — messengers, warriors, and guardians of a plane between mortals and gods.

Race Trolls Regenerating brutes of the deep woods and mountain passes. Slow to anger, near-impossible to kill.

Race Manticores Lion-bodied, scorpion-tailed, bat-winged beasts of the sting crags. The sting is the word, and the crag answers the sting.

Race Sirens Vocal humanoids of the coasts and deep water. Their song is a weapon, a tool, and the only language they truly speak.

Race Skeletons Animated dead. Mindless thralls or willed revenants — the bones that refuse to rest.

Race Satyrs Goat-legged revelers of the vine-tangled hills. Wine, pan-pipes, and mischief — the party ends when the vine-queen says so.

Race Wraiths Shade-born, hollow-eyed stalkers of the moor. They do not touch, they do not rest, and they consider the moan a promise the moor keeps.

Location Tuskridge Barrens A ridge of bare stone and red dust, its surface scored by tusk-marks and its tunnels deep enough to hide a hold.

Location Vinehollow A vine-tangled hill of wine and pan-pipes, its hollows wide enough to hold a party, its vines thick enough to keep a secret.

Location Umbral Hollow A deep sunless sinkhole lit by pale fungus growing in slow rings, its floor a soft dark known by heart.
