Ancestries - Legacy of the Eternal Conflict

Found in every terrain and environment, their curiosity and ambition drive them to explore every corner of the world, making them a ubiquitous and versatile race.

Dwarf, in the old language, means "stone." You are resilient, solid, stout. Even when driven to exhaustion, you will not falter. Forgoing speed, you are gifted with physical vitality and a belly that can handle the finest (and worst) consumables this world has to offer.

Eccentric, curious, and perpetually optimistic, gnomes are cheerful—especially when compared to their typically grumpier and larger kin, the dwarves.

Known for their tinkering, spreading cheer, and playful antics, gnomes pursue their passions with a scatterbrained enthusiasm.

Ancient, graceful, and proud, Elves are among the oldest known peoples of the world. Their connection to nature runs deep — especially to the towering, magical World Trees that pulse with ancient life.

Elves live long lives in pursuit of knowledge, refinement, and natural harmony. Though they often look down on other species, they have also learned to live alongside those few they deem worthy.

Deep Gnomes are a reclusive offshoot of surface gnomes who dwell deep within the Underworld.

Unlike their surface kin, Deep Gnomes are less inclined toward magic, relying on stealth and clever tactics to survive.

Dark Elves are a people of silence, instinct, and oral tradition. Unlike their "high" kin, Dark Elves prefer the damp earth beneath the lifeless World Tree that looms over their homeland.

They are wary observers who value lived experience over academic theory.

While their kin claim the forests, Sea Elves claim the coral spires of the deep. They are as unpredictable as the ocean itself but most see the surface world as a dry, static place compared to the vibrant depths.

Tritons are amphibious humanoids who dwell in the depths of the oceans and coastal waters. Adapted to life beneath the waves, they move through water with ease and feel most at home where land meets sea.

Green, cunning, and perpetually vilified, Goblins thrive on the edge of chaos.

For a Goblin, vanishing into the shadows is not just a skill—it’s an identity. After all, what kind of Goblin would you be if you couldn’t slip away unnoticed?

Hobgoblins are disciplined and militaristic goblinoids who value order, strategy, and strength of command. Where Goblins thrive in chaos, Hobgoblins build warbands, fortresses, and hierarchies.

Just when you think you’ve bested a mighty Orc, you’ve merely succeeded in rousing their anger. Engaging in combat with an Orc is no endeavor for the weak-willed. While others may cower before death’s approach, Orcs boldly defy its grasp.

Small, often maniacal, and dragon–obsessed. Kobolds thrive in the shadows, finding ingenious ways to survive despite their diminutive size.

Underestimated by many, Kobolds prove time and again that even the smallest among us can wield great power.

Ratfolk are survivors, thriving in the shadows of society where others fear to tread. Agile, resourceful, and fiercely loyal to their own, they have a knack for turning scraps into solutions.

Birdfolk find sanctuary not in stone or chains, but within the boundless expanse of the sky. However, the gift of flight comes at a cost—hollow bones, and commensurate frailty.

Turtlefolk take their time in everything they do; they are patient, sturdy, and slow to anger.

They rely on their thick shells for protection, making them difficult to harm, but their cautious movements come at the cost of speed.

Minotaur and other Beastfolk embody a primal connection to the wild, combining strength with natural agility.

Their powerful build allows them to move swiftly, whether repositioning to outflank foes or charging in with unstoppable force.

Lycanthropes are born into permanent bestial form, shaped by an ancient blood-bound curse. Though fully conscious and capable of reason, a savage instinct constantly stirs constantly within them — some learn restraint, while others embrace it.

Through blood or bite, a Lycanthrope may mark a mortal with a lesser strain of the curse.

Kitsune are anthropomorphic fox people who have magic in their blood and light shape-changing capabilities.

To avoid discrimination, they usually hide their kitsune heritage from other ancestries, though they maintain an exception for Elves due to their positive relationship.

Insectoid hunters who roam deserts in packs. Their chitinous bodies, multifaceted eyes, and restless instincts make them ever-alert predators.

Despite their unsettling appearance, Thri-kreen are generally peaceful toward other humanoids so long as their packs and hunting grounds are not disturbed.

Harsher and more savage offshoot of their desert kin, adapted to the frozen tundras and icy wastes.

Their pale chitin blends with snow and frost, and their packs survive through relentless hunting in one of the harshest environments in the world.

Fey are magical beings born of ancient, magic-infused forests. They dwell in hidden groves, maintaining a quiet connection to another plane often called the Dimension of Peace.

Reclusive and wary of mortal ambition, Fey prefer seclusion over conquest, moving unseen where the wild still holds sway.

Leshies are primal spirits woven into animated plant bodies, shaped by magic, nature, or ancient will. They awaken with faint memories and a purpose they rarely understand at first — to protect, to wander, or simply to grow.

Each Leshy’s form is tied to a specific type of flora, from thorned vines to delicate blossoms. Their appearance ranges from whimsical to haunting, reflecting the spirit within.

Florans are vibrant humanoids, flesh-and-leaf hybrids born from the wildest corners of nature.

Built to hunt and thrive, they live for the thrill of pursuit, the scent of blood, and the ritual of the kill.

Deep within every Floran’s body lies a single seed, when a Floran dies, the seed takes root in their remains — and over time, may grow into a new Floran.

Tied to the natural world, Myconid embody the balance between flora and fauna. Their unique physiology releases toxic spores when harmed, providing a natural defense against those who dare to harm them.

Descendants of divine beings, Celestials carry an aura of nobility and grace. Their innate connection to the higher planes allows them to resist the effects of misfortune, standing strong where others may falter.

Demons are extraplanar beings that crossed into the mortal world in great numbers during the Apocalypse. Some arrived as conquerors, others as refugees. Now stranded in a world not their own, they walk among mortals — feared or hunted — their infernal nature never fully at rest.

Born from the union of a human and a demon, or from a cursed bloodline, Demonborn often find themselves outcasts in society. Yet, they embody determination in the face of adversity.

What even is a ‘PeOpLe’ anyway? So what if I’m a puddle without a host? If I can pour myself into a dead body and strike with more force than the heart that used to beat here, who’s to say I can’t be a pEOpLe, too?! I’m not just wearing this body—I’m making it better.

Undead are sentient beings reanimated by powerful magic, once rare anomalies, they were made more common in the wake of the apocalypse.

Though they retain form and mind, their bodies no longer live. Some resemble skeletons, others rotten corpses or mummified remnants — all carry the mark of death.

Forged from steel, Mechanoids are artificial bodies housing a bound soulstone. They feel, remember, and adapt, shaped as much by their past life as their new existence. Some were built with care, while others were assembled for profit. All of them walk the uneasy line between tool and person.
