The Races
There are many races that live throughout the known territory’s defending there borders from apposing army’s and the powerful creatures that live beyond, each race holds a uneasy alliance with each other.
High elves
High Elves are a very proud race that has an affinity for magic. They dwell in large civilised towns, and trade openly with other races. Their cities boast beautiful elaborately designed buildings and structures only achievable by their combination of craft and magic. Although not the most aggressive choice of race, they make average fighters, but peerless mages. .
Bonus: High Elves begin with Magic Use (2pt buy)
Orcs
In time immemorial, Elves controlled the Orcs. Using them to haul rocks, build bridges and serve as frontline shock troops. Lost is the story of how the Orcs gained their freedom, but each and every one has a natural distrust of all Elven Kind. Their ancestry of labour and fighting makes them savage in battle, and strong as an ox. Orcs would serve as excellent Fighters, but dislike most things magical.
Bonus: Orcs begin with Heroic Surges(Lvl 1) and Rend (1pt buy each)
Wood Elves
Wood Elves, unlike their High elven relatives, build their dwellings among the trees and forests. Completely in tune with nature, these elves are almost be***al in the defence of their territory.
The wood Elves Have almost unnatural coordination and their bowmen ship is feared throughout the land.
Bonus: Wood Elves begin with ambidexterity and the archery skill is one point cheaper to them.
Norsk
At some point in the high peaks and mountains, the Norsk became men apart. Fighting creatures of nightmare across their homelands has forced them into the higher ground. They make their fortresses of mountain roc k and defend them with well-crafted steel. Their constitution is legendary, their stamina boundless. Drinking in their mountain holds, they are happy, but to cross a Norsk is to court disaster as they do not forget a grudge. Their stubborn refusal to fall down makes Norsk excellent Defenders
Bonus: Norsk begin with Toughness (Lvl 1) (2pt)
Humans
Their ability to reproduce, adapt, and explore has led this race to be found across most of the land. Their trading network reaches far and wide, and their cities boast the most variety of other races. Humans are ruled by a single King by right of blood, as it was his father who united them. Versatility is their key strength, and they can turn their hand to almost anything. Some can even wield the magic arts.
Bonus: Humans start with 1 additional experience point to spend at creation.
Beastmen
Beastmen are half human half animal, mostly found wandering in large packs. These nomadic people are often found trading and talking with woodelves, but show a natural caution towards other races. Beastmen are divided into smaller tribes each ruled by its own chief. Only in times of great peril do they unite as one single tribe ruled by a council formed of all cheiftans. Once the danger has passed, they drift apart and go their separate ways once again. Their animal side gives them a natural agility, and keen senses almost to the point of precognition.
Bonus: Beastmen begin with Ambidexterity and Thrown Weapons Skill (1pt each)
Dark Elves
Dark Elves, so called due to their open worship of demons are thought to be the cause of the Orcs years of oppression. Slavery is still rife in these shady towns and cities. Their worship and devotion has caused them to change over the years, unlocking a much more aggressive form of magic, bestowed upon them by their Demonic Dieties. Dark Elves seek to trade with most races and have a strong alliance with both Humans and Norsk.
The Dark Elves have a matriarchal society male member’s may only get political power by being in the military.
Dark Elven politics is seen by other races as crude as only the strongest stay in power as assassination attempts are often usually with the aid off the races favoured tool poisons.
Bonus: Dark Elves begin with apothecary (2pt)
