The Unknown Realms

The unknown realms are a vast and mysterious world, where magic and wonder coexist with danger and peril. The unknown realms are home to many different races, cultures, and civilizations, each with their own history, beliefs, and goals. Some of the most common races in the unknown realms are:

Humans. Humans are the most numerous and diverse race in the unknown realms. They are adaptable, curious, and ambitious, and can be found in almost every region and climate. Humans have no innate magic, but they can learn to use it through study and practice. Humans have various kingdoms, empires, and republics, and often compete or cooperate with each other and other races.

Elves. Elves are the oldest and most graceful race in the unknown realms. They are slender, fair, and long-lived, and have a natural affinity for magic and nature. Elves live in harmony with the forests, mountains, and seas, and value art, beauty, and wisdom. Elves have three main subraces: high elves, wood elves, and dark elves. High elves are the most civilized and noble, wood elves are the most wild and free, and dark elves are the most secretive and sinister.

Dwarves. Dwarves are the stoutest and hardiest race in the unknown realms. They are short, muscular, and bearded, and have a great skill for crafting and engineering. Dwarves live in underground cities and fortresses, and value honor, tradition, and wealth. Dwarves have two main subraces: hill dwarves and mountain dwarves. Hill dwarves are the more friendly and sociable, mountain dwarves are the more proud and militant.

• Halflings. Halflings are the smallest and most cheerful race in the unknown realms. They are half the size of humans, with curly hair and hairy feet, and have a knack for stealth and luck. Halflings live in cozy villages and farms, and value comfort, family, and adventure. Halflings have two main subraces: lightfoot halflings and stout halflings. Lightfoot halflings are the more wanderlust and outgoing, stout halflings are the more resilient and homebound.
• Tieflings. The descendants of humans who made pacts with devils long ago, and inherited some of their features and abilities. Tieflings have horns, tails, pointed teeth, and eyes of solid colors, such as black, red, gold, or silver. Their skin can range from human tones to shades of red, and their hair can be black, brown, red, blue, or purple. Tieflings are not evil by nature, but they often face prejudice and mistrust from other races, due to their appearance and ancestry.
• Orcs. Orcs are the most savage and brutal race in the unknown realms. They are taller and bulkier than humans, with green or gray skin, tusks, and scars, and have a fierce strength and endurance. Orcs live in nomadic tribes and warbands, and value power, glory, and blood. Orcs have two main subraces: gray orcs and green orcs. Gray orcs are the more intelligent and organized, green orcs are the more primal and chaotic.

These are just some of the races that inhabit the unknown realms. There are many more, such as dragons, giants, goblins, gnomes, and others. Each race has its own allies and enemies, its own hopes and fears, its own secrets and legends. The unknown realms are a world of endless possibilities and adventures, waiting for you to discover…
