Anthrosaur

Initial Fatigue Factor: 4
Species Traits: You take 50% poison points from all types of poison. You are amphibious, able to breathe and move more quickly underwater (see Underwater Combat). You are resistant to hot environments.
Prime adult age: 25-70

    Anthrosaurs are a lifeform derived from dinosaurs and lizards by the white dragon May’Tothosis. She formed this species in an attempt to create a new army of soldier-acolytes. When her anthrosaurs failed to drastically outperform the other sentient species, she abandoned them. Fortunately, the hapless group was rescued by the kind red dragon Tahr’Tarrus, and taken by her to the jungles of I’Gremsul where huge tribes can now be found.

    Anthrosaurs have thick tails, digitigrade legs, five horns, and an advanced reptilian physiology that counteracts poison. Their lungs are capable of absorbing oxygen from both water and air, and they have excellent underwater vision. Anthrosaurs usually range between 5.5 and 7 feet tall. Their average lifespan is 120 years, and they are considered adults around 25.

    Referring to May’Tothosis and Tahr’Tarrus as the Two Mothers, anthrosaur culture values the strength of the white dragons but also the compassion of the red. Over the centuries, the species has engraved their entire history into the colossal swamp trees of their homeland. These elegant and ornate carvings sometimes go the entire height of the trunk, depicting legendary tales in ascending fashion.

    Portions of anthrosaur civilization are underwater, while the visible parts of their cities are built into the branches of the swamp trees. Their main source of food and trade is the abundant supply of fish they trap and farm. Despite vibrant martial and hunting traditions, the anthrosaurs are generally a peaceful people. Even during the previous Age, the anthrosaur nation was a latecomer to the Imperial Wars (though it also perpetrated the horrific enslavement of the dryads). In the current age, anthrosaur cities politically resemble the city-states of the other species.

    The simple life of anthrosaurs does not produce many adventurers in the deep jungle settlements. However, those cities with more exposure to other Lur-Asko civilizations tend to produce great interest in adventuring. Already skilled at hunting and fighting, anthrosaurs take quickly to the profession, often welcoming a more exciting life than that of jaded tradition.

Species Traits: You have a +TN of 8 in all CON rolls related to disease. You take 50% poison points from all types of poison. You are resistant to hot environments.
Prime adult age: 25-65

    Dryads were created and abandoned by May'Tothosis at the same time as the anthrosaurs, and settled into the same cities in I'Gremsul. In one of the darkest chapters of Lur-Asko's species relations, dryads were enslaved by the much stronger and more numerous anthrosaurs as a labor class during the Imperial Wars. Now free, dryads have since split off into two unique cultures.

    Dryads are biologically unique amongst all the lifeforms of Lur-Asko: they are reptiles that exist in a permanent symbiotic relationship with specific plant species. It is thought that the plant life was created at the same time as the dryads, as neither can survive without the other. Their bizarre physiology renders dryads resistant to both disease and poison, while also forming their primarily identifying traits; there is very little difference in appearance between the reptilian bodies of individual dryads, but their plant life can take on a variety of striking shapes and colors, even varying over time. Most notably, dryads who adventure in underground realms or on the dark forest floor beneath the swamp trees tend to become more fungal in appearance. Dryads usually range between 3.5 and 4 feet tall (not including foliage). Their average lifespan is 120 years, and they are considered adults around 25.

    The enslavement of the dryads under the anthrosaur empire has profoundly affected their cultural development, with nearly all of pre-Imperial dryadic culture and history being lost. When they were finally freed by the end of the empire, dryads struggled to redefine themselves, resulting in a further cultural split: some dryads abandoned the swamp trees entirely and retreated to the jungle floor. This was orchestrated by the white dragon Planneh'Ah, the One of Deception, who subsequently indoctrinated the wild dryads with abundant anti-technological prejudices. The dryads who chose to remain in the cities saw this, and perhaps in a reaction to it, devoted themselves to salvaging the remnants of Imperial industry. Their culture now functions as the "brains of I'Gremsul," and they have become expert tinkerers and technologists. Dryadic airships (built with access to huge jungle trees) are the largest in Lur-Asko, and sometimes rival even elven ones in sophistication. When traveling in I'Gremsul, other species are advised to refrain from pointing out the contrast between city dryads' plantlike appearance and their industrial cultural values. This is considered highly offensive. Meanwhile, the "wild dryads" are sometimes confused for goblins, despite being sentient and much more dangerous.

    Although anthrosaur leaders claim to regret the Imperial enslavement and dryadic leaders claim to have forgiven it, there continues to be a split between the two cultures, almost to the point of every I'Gremsul city really being two cities. Dryads, because of their lower weight, tend to build their communities in the thin upper canopy of the swamp trees, ranging lower only for the sake of industry and trade.

Koh-Trr

Initial Fatigue Factor: 10
Species Trait: You have shadow vision, seeing in any Low Light environment as if it was Medium Light. You are immune to knockdowns. You cannot see color.
Prime adult age: 14-40

    A relatively new species to the land of Lur-Asko, the Koh-Trr are small and colorful creatures. Originating from the distant continent known as the Far Remote, these felines arrived in Lur-Asko in a massive colonization fleet nearly two centuries ago. In their adopted realm of Macska, they are a nation of proud, honor-bound families. Outside of that land, many are talented adventurers... or infamous sneaks and saboteurs.

    Together with dryads, Koh-Trr (pronounced ko-TURR) are the smallest of the major sentient species, varying significantly in build and coloration. Their innate nimbleness and reflexes far surpass the other species, and they seldom lose their footing for long. Koh-Trr usually range between 3 and 4.5 feet tall. Their average lifespan is 80 years, and they are considered adults around 14.

    Koh-Trr architecture ranges anywhere from humble straw huts to majestic pagodas. The only constant is a very unbalanced yet strangely beautiful assortment of colors; the species has very poor color vision and sees mostly in grayscale.

    As the Far Remote does not seem to have access to Alacrian or any other advanced technology, the Koh-Trr colonists have never been able to contact their ancestral continent. Furthermore, Tsuunahgo's oceanic stormfronts would make it extremely dangerous to return (over half of the original Koh-Trr fleet was sunk en route to Lur-Asko). Still, the most important reason why the Koh-Trr of Macska remain distinct is that, in their eyes, they are not; Macskan Koh-Trr believe that they have simply spread and continued the unbroken ancient culture of "the Homeland" - a term which in their language can be applied to either the Far Remote or Macska, with no distinction except for context. As such, the story of the Macskan Koh-Trr is one of a comparatively small population trying desperately to remain independent despite their proximity to the radically different cultures of Lur-Asko. Koh-Trr traditions have apparently remained stable for thousands of years in the Far Remote, and to discard them now would be unthinkable to most of the species.

    The name Koh-Trr translates roughly as “High Ones,” with the goal of “high” denoting a justified pride in one’s honorable contribution to society. Koh-Trr culture revolves around group honor, with a very heavy emphasis on the family, and is heavily influenced by Red Draconic philosophy. One of the Protodraconic parents of the red dragons, Onnoma the Gray, is highly revered in the Far Remote. Though he fell silent some 4,000 years ago, the values Onnoma inculcated there are remarkably similar to those of his offspring in Lur-Asko. As such, the highly-developed philosophy of the still-active Red Synod is viewed as the most valuable discovery made in Lur-Asko, and the reverence of many red dragons instead of a single gray one is virtually the only major cultural change that has been permitted since leaving the Far Remote.

    Of course, Lur-Asko opponents of the Red Synod often hold up Macska as an example of why draconic philosophy is so dangerous; most Lur-Asko species would find the realm stifling. Koh-Trr society is divided into four castes: samurai, ashigaru, heimin, and shō (roughly translating to noble warriors, common warriors, peasantry, and merchants). Mobility between castes is virtually unheard-of. Foreigners do not enjoy even the paltry protections of the shō, who themselves can be legally killed by any samurai for even an act of "disrespect." Although such extremes are rarely seen in practice, Macska is still a perilous place for visiting adventurers or traders, as well as any Koh-Trr who seeks a bit more flexibility than their lineage allows. Still, defenders of Koh-Trr culture point out that the system has prevented the species' traditions from being lost to the influence of their neighbors, and has thus far proven resilient against White Draconic corruption. Whatever the case, many Koh-Trr who leave the realm of Macska have done so to escape the rigid honor structure or caste system, and they often settle into the freedom of an adventuring career.

Adlet

Initial Fatigue Factor: 8
Species Trait: You hear sounds from much farther away than other sentient species (see Combat Stealth).
Prime adult age: 12-38

    In Skreti, the orcs often find themselves at odds with the Adlet. A culture of hunter/gatherers native to the area, Adlet have continued to be a great danger in the realm despite their technological disadvantage. Historical evidence suggests that the Adlet are the result of an out-of-control Alacrian genetic experiment that spliced varg genes into dwarves.

    An Adlet’s appearance is that of a bipedal wolf or varg. Though small, their physiology is tough, and their coordination and reflexes are second only to the Koh-Trr. Unique among the sentient species, their sensitive, oversized ears make them deadly hunters. Adlet usually range between 4 and 5 feet tall. Their average lifespan is 70 years, and they are considered adults around 12.

    In Skreti, the Adlet live in mobile tribes of usually 20 to 30 members. Lur-Asko philosophy has impacted the Adlet the least of all the species, with almost no Alacrian ideas found in their culture. Adlet tribes teach their young the value of violence - both in hunting and in plundering others - and often view a peaceful lifestyle or personality as a sign of weakness.

    Despite all this, researchers believe that the primary motivation for the Adlet's conflict with the orcs is a different conception of property; it is almost impossible to translate words such as "theft" or "belongings" into the Adletic language except in the broadest tribal sense, and their culture has no concept whatsoever of land ownership. "Greed" does translate easily, and it is invariably attributed to the orcs for their sprawling cities and massive roving cattle herds. In response, Adlet raiders seek to exterminate orcish ranches, many orcs in turn make a living by mercilessly hunting down Adlet, and the cycle of retaliation continues to escalate.

    Some Adlet have been known to abandon their tribes and search for higher knowledge in Lur-Asko cities, usually outside of Skreti. Others simply seek to funnel their traditional belligerence into a successful adventuring career. Whatever the case, Adlet pilgrims can recount grim tales of their homeland, often describing violent atrocities unimaginable to most Lur-Asko residents. Whether they seek to embrace their history or distance themselves, there are very few Adlet who can shake the stigma associated with their species - still, those few do exist, particularly among the ranks of heroic adventurers.

Vitur Roc

Stats:

Initial Fatigue Factor: 3
Species Traits: You take 50% damage from frost, and are immune to cold environments. You are amphibious, and your SPD is considered to be 4 higher when underwater.
Prime adult age: 16-42

    The Vitur Roc hail from near-prehistoric Wynthia, having been rescued from that continent by the Protodragons to protect them from the First Aeon asteroid incident. For millennia, they lived entirely in the Gelid Isles north of Lur-Asko - an archipelago viewed as a worthless frozen wasteland by the other species, sparing the Vitur Roc from the countless conflicts and wars of the mainland. Although the growth of their population and technology was hampered by their location, the traditional culture of the Vitur Roc endured without interference until the Adventuring Age. At that point, the merchant enterprises of the elves turned northward, trade deals were struck with the Vitur Roc, and the species was gradually assimilated into the modern culture of Hal'Tayat.

    Vitur Roc (often shortened to Roc) are an enormous, flightless avian species that seem to be most closely related to penguins; their cold-enduring and swimming abilities make them the only sentient species really suited to thrive in the Gelid Isles. Though they cannot truly breathe underwater like anthrosaurs and Therbolgites, they can hold their breath for over 40 minutes, and are every bit as fast-swimming. Additionally, they can do so perfectly well in frigid arctic seawater - a feat that not even elves can copy indefinitely. Roc "arms" are a hybrid of flipper-like wings and hand-like talons. On land, their mobility is not as excellent, given their short legs and rotund physiques. In any environment, however, a Roc is tough - their constitutions are the strongest of any disparate species, more in line with antecessoroids. Vitur Roc usually range between 6.5 and 7.5 feet tall. Their average lifespan is 80 years, and they are considered adults around 16.

    The amicable relations between the Vitur Roc and the elves are often held up by optimists as a sign of modern progress - a sharp contrast with the historically-violent species relations of Skreti and I'Gremsul, and more mutually respectful than the Alacrian strongarming of the Subject Species. Critics and pessimists point out, however, that the merging of the two cultures in the Adventuring Age was hardly balanced. Though a peaceful evolution, the much smaller and more technologically primitive population of Vitur Roc was completely overwhelmed by the cultural powerhouse of Hal'Tayat, to the point that the majority of Roc tradition and history has fallen out of common memory. Of course, it's not as though zero influence in the other direction occurred: the Roc language was especially fascinating to the elven population, to the point that today's language of Hal'Tayatic is a unique merging of two alphabets and vocabularies. Roc architecture and clothing have also influenced trends across Hal'Tayat, almost completely dominating elven rural areas. For all intents and purposes, Roc and elves share a common culture, and anything written above for elven culture applies also to this species.

    Despite elven culture's hold on them - or perhaps as a result of it - the Vitur Roc have held their own economically. Their natural skills have enabled them to dominate every northern fishing industry outside of Hal'Samak. Prior to the Adventuring Age, due to the very small amounts of lumber available in the Gelids, the Roc never built vessels larger than small longboats; today, the central Roc city of Viturheim has amassed via trade a massive fleet of sea ships, which have allowed the species to virtually monopolize the whaling industry.

    Although Roc are uniquely suited to the Isles, every elven city has a significant minority of their species, especially to the north. They are active in every industry of Hal'Tayat, including adventuring. The durability of a Vitur Roc lends itself well to an adventuring career, and the individualism of their shared Hal'Tayatic culture leads many to go questing for the same reasons as elves.

Minotaur

Your horns function as a natural weapon with a damage equal to your WGT and a drive of double your WGT. You add your STR to drive and 2 times STR to damage. You cannot use your natural weapon simultaneously with normally-wielded weapons or normal unarmed attacks.
Prime adult age: 10-45

    Appearing much like bipedal cattle, these creatures are naturally big, strong, and dutiful. In Alacrian times they were the pack carriers and heavy hitters of the infantry, charging headlong into battle with nary a thought given to questioning orders. Historically, minotaurs have been taken advantage of by the other species of Lur-Asko, but they justifiably pride themselves on their feats of strength and bravery.

    Physically, minotaurs are thick and built for power. They usually range between 5.5 and 6.5 feet tall. Their average lifespan is 60 years, and they are considered adults around 10. The species originated during the Draconic Wars in Alacrian military bioengineering facilities; whether they are elevated versions of a more primitive species or a fiend-type synthetic fusion of bovines and antecessoroids is disputed by biologists.

    Physically and mentally, minotaurs were designed to be obedient soldiers. Although they possess antecessoroid-like brains, many functions related to social conformity were deliberately amplified, resulting in an easily-manipulated psychology ripe for military indoctrination. Many mark the creation of minotaurs - and the abject nonchalance with which they were expended in dangerous missions - as the first major ethical failing of Alacrian genetic engineering. Still, minotaurs were undeniably effective in their designated role for many years, until Eer'Kallan operatives were able to exploit their malleability and countermand their military hierarchy. After several such setbacks, the lab production of minotaurs was halted, and remaining individuals reassigned to non-combat labor roles. Those who survived the war eventually integrated with the communities of the Subject Species - a trend that continues to this day.

    Minotaurs have never created any truly distinct or independent civilizations, with a possible though heavily-disputed exception of a small nation in pre-Koh-Trr Macska. Instead, they tend to form subcultures within the settlements of other species. These subcultures vary widely and are heavily influenced by the surrounding majority culture. This is a result of minotaurs' psychology, which was never designed for civilian life; nearly all minotaurs have significant difficulty developing their own identities as either individuals or families. Over the centuries, they have been exploited in exactly the way one would expect from their design, being constantly "volunteered" into a pliable fighting or working class. The Imperial Age was by far the worst in this regard.

    Fortunately, the Adventuring Age has brought a new hope to minotaurs - at least those fortunate enough to find themselves in a realm governed by the Declaration of Methods. As liberated cultures sought to make right the heinous crimes of the empires, many eyes turned to the minotaur districts ravaged by centuries of psychological manipulation by other species. Politicians eager to be perceived as benevolent now established legal protections for minotaurs, and adventurers were hired by charitable organizations - or sometimes the Ministry of Chaos - to "convince" lingering overlords to abandon their domination of the species. Today, minotaur populations are garrisoned by Advocates - various militias and mediators devoted to the protection of the community. Originally formed from sympathetic members of the cities' majority species, more than half of Advocates are now minotaurs themselves. At long last, the species has finally been released to develop the knowledge and strength of will to not only overcome the weaknesses of their ancient origin, but to emphasize its strengths.

    Although minotaurs are now able to pursue whatever vocation they wish, their natural gifts make adventuring a strikingly viable option. Legends of the Adventuring Age are full of distinguished minotaurs, despite their much smaller population relative to most other species.

Therbolgite

Stats:

Initial Fatigue Factor: 5
Species Traits: You are amphibious, and your SPD is considered to be 5 higher when underwater. You receive a +TN of 5 during any offense or defense roll in a grapple, or to begin a grapple.
Prime adult age: 35-120

    The Therbolgites hail from the Deep, a massive trench in the ocean floor east of Lur-Asko. Most of them live their entire lives at depths that would crush any of the other sentient species. Though they can survive equally well in the air, only a few Therbolgites ever leave their watery home. Those that find their way to Lur-Asko do so for one of two very different reasons.

    Physiologically, Therbolgites are most closely related to squid, with amphibious characteristics that enable them to live comfortably on land. Their skin is blue in their natural environment, but fades to green the longer they are out of water. They possess ten tentacles - two small ones on the front of their body, two large ones they use to walk or swim, and three on each side they use in conjunction as “arms.” Therbolgites usually range between 4 and 6 feet tall. Their average lifespan is 160 years, and they usually arrive in Lur-Asko during their prime adult years, though many have amnesia about their exact age.

    Most Lur-Asko Therbolgites are “Sojourners,” sent by their people to live among the “land-born,” eventually returning after many decades to share the lessons they have learned. The rest are convicted criminals, banished from the depths only to continue their piracy on the water’s surface. These “Exiles” are readily identified by the red tattoos placed on their faces. In either case, all Therbolgites willing or forced to leave the Deep undergo some type of brain modification that eliminates any memory of their home; no Therbolgite has ever been able to relate cultural details of the Deep, not even under hypnosis or telepathy. Only the Therbolgi language and some technical skills - such as Lur-Asko's first knowledge of corallurgy - have arrived through Sojourners and Exiles. In the case of Sojourners, they also retain a vague knowledge of their mission to gather information and return, and a drive to fulfill it.

    Therbolgite civilization is very xenophobic, interacting with the surface world only through the reports of their Sojourners. Little is known about their mysterious underwater cities. It is known that they have mastered the direction of coral growth, to the point that most of their technology is based on this form of organic manipulation. Though unable to research the full extent of this art, the Alacris reverse-engineered some of the technology from the details remembered by Sojourners, resulting in the production of coral weapons and armor that continues to this day.

    When they analyzed the genetics of Sojourners and captured Exiles, the Alacris determined that the species was likely not naturally amphibious; those who emerge to breathe air were probably genetically-engineered to do so. Further analysis led the Alacris to conclude that the Therbolgites have actually been directing their own evolution through advanced organic technology for over 2,400 generations. Alacrian sociologists extrapolated from this that some form of coherent Therbolgite civilization must have existed in the Deep for a mind-boggling minimum of 150,000 years. This suggests that the Deep's motivation for sending Sojourners and Exiles may not even be intelligible to the far-younger land-born cultures, or perhaps that it amounts to nothing more than a mild curiosity about upstart surface civilizations that must seem infantile by comparison.

    “Adventuring” is usually too polite a term for the offenses regularly committed by Exiles, as their violent personalities seem unaffected by their amnesia. Meanwhile, as legitimate adventuring is such a large part of Lur-Asko’s culture, it frequently attracts inquisitive Sojourners. Whatever their background, Therbolgite adventurers seem to be quite adept at embracing the profession.

Revenant

Stats:

Initial Fatigue Factor: 10
Species Traits: You have shadow vision, seeing in any Low Light environment as if it was Medium Light. You are considered a non-organic creature; you are immune to poison, disease, and exhaustion, and follow different rules for fatigue. You must follow repair rules for technologicals rather than natural healing. You must still sleep, due to the nature of your brain.
Prime adult age: Equivalent to brain-source species (not counting cryostasis years)

    Revenants date from the late Third Alacrian Era, a war-torn time in which technological armies reached their apex. Distinguished from other techs by their sentience and organic brains, revenants were most commonly employed as an assassination deterrent; they would be kept in stasis until their Alacrian master died, and would wreak havoc on the master's enemies if that demise was found to be a murder. With all Alacris long dead, some revenants awaken today in a state of amnesia, forced to build new lives from scratch in the world of modern Lur-Asko.

    Revenants have organic brains originally sourced from the Subject Species. In some cases, transformation into a revenant was a punishment; the victim's brain would be forcibly extracted, kept alive, and transplanted into a advanced construct. In other cases, genetically-engineered antecessoroids were reduced to a brain as infants and matured in the construct, never knowing any existence but that of a revenant. In either case, the existence of the procedure continues to be held up as a sign of the incredible moral degradation of the Third Era Alacris, and a warning about the excesses of Rationalism without sufficient ethics.

    After creation, a revenant's brain was the victim of advanced manipulation; since the individual was interfaced directly with the construct body and had no perception aside from the construct's senses, a revenant could be "programmed" almost as effectively as a non-sentient tech. In addition, they could be instantly given incredible abilities and skills, limited only by the (extremely high) capabilities of their construct body. Revenants were some of the most terrifying enemies an Alacris of the period could possibly face, perhaps exceeded only by dragons, Weavers, and dark sorcerers. The dread of awakening a revenant against oneself was indeed sometimes the only thing keeping powerful Alacris from sending assassins against one another. Revenants could be preserved in cryostasis for many decades, and had various means of being automatically awakened when their master was imperiled or killed. It is presumed that those that survive to the present either returned to stasis after the Fall, or that the exotic circumstances of the Fall did not trigger their awakening at all.

    No modern revenant has memory of Alacrian times. After being brought out of cryostasis, a revenant's brain ages like any normal brain, and will eventually meet a natural death. This awakening now seems random; with no Alacris to maintain revenant "crypts," the cryostasis machinery degrades and automatically deactivates when it is no longer viable. Revenant brains were never intended to be preserved for centuries, and those that awaken today have lost essentially all of their memories. Though they retain the Alacrian and Concordic languages, today's revenants awaken with none of the legendary skills they would have once had, and often find that their equipment and even some of their own body's components have long since been plundered by haywire techs in their ruins. Much like an organic develops their abilities through practice and experience, revenants must slowly rebuild themselves and re-learn their own minds.

    Revenants that awaken today are almost entirely "blank slates." Fortunate ones will stumble into a sympathetic modern society and find their own place, often becoming a fascination of modern researchers in the process. Less-fortunate revenants might never make it past the techs in their own ruins, or they might run afoul of less-advanced modern cultures who fear them. In previous Ages, revenants retained just enough of a combat instinct to justify this fear. Cryostasis crypts in the Alacrian cities of Nexus and Vespera seem to have been less advanced and failed early; the still-dangerous revenants awakened at this time comprised the fearsome wendigos that terrorized Skreti for part of the Imperial Age, as well as the dreaded oni that were discovered by the Koh-Trr newcomers when they arrived in Macska. Manusia has been the site of most awakenings in recent years, and the human High Wynthian language is the source of the name revenant. Although revenants continue to awaken in all realms, Adventuring Age Manusia has set an example of acceptance, incorporating peaceful revenants into their society and even adopting them into families.

    Revenants come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Some have difficulty understanding emotion or sympathizing with organics, while others are almost manic. Some find it easy to adapt to modern society and may turn to adventuring for similar reasons to their organic comrades; others retain just enough of a combative impulse to feel unfulfilled in a more mundane profession. Most will take names according to the organic society they first encounter, while others will discover Alacrian names they feel suit them better. Often, revenants will be the first of their kind that an average passerby will have seen, and an accomplished revenant adventurer stands a good chance of affecting the common perception about their "species" as a whole.
