``I am not yet born; O fill me With
strength against those who would freeze my humanity, would dragoon me into a
lethal automaton, would make me a cog in a machine, a thing with one face, a
thing. ''
- Louis MacNeice 1907-63

 The
world in which Dalsundria is set is home to many races. Here I shall list
the races I have made available to play to my players. Some have
changed, some have not. One thing I suggest is the slow advancement
rules. Demihumans, after they reach their normal level limit,
may be entitled to additional levels because of high prime requisites,
after this they should be allowed to gain levels at double experience.
 | Humans: From the rugged
folk of Dalsundria, to the proud Horsemen of Myrr, humans can be found
everywhere. |
| Elves: The
elves of Dalsundria are much different than those you might find on other
worlds. The Alfar are a fey race, the elves of legend, mysterious and
beautiful. When mothers tell naughty children stories to scare them
into minding the Dockalfen are their hobgoblins. Weird and
unfathomable, they are masters of the magic of shadows and lies. |
| Half Elves:
The child of an Alfar and a human often grows to live a life of privilege,
loved by most anyone they meet for their great beauty and regal
mannerisms. The cursed spawn of the Dockalfen, however, face a life of
hardships. They will find themselves reviled for their odd appearance,
and feared for their heritage. |
| Gnomes:
The gnomes suffered heavily during the Great Strife. Most
of those that survived have turned to the fervent worship of Baravar
Cloakshadow. |
| Halflings: Ever
since either race can remember, humans and halflings have enjoyed a symbiotic
relationship. When the humans left the mainland for Dalsundria, the
small folk followed. |
| Dwarves: These
stout warriors also suffered heavily at he hands of Berenash's forces during
the Great Strife. However, they did not seek to hide as the gnomes
did, they shut themselves in their fortresses. When they were attacked
the struck back with a ardent fury, though few remain today. |
| Half Orcs:
Products of the War of Braids, many of these half-breeds walk the face of
Dalsundria today. They are often mistrusted and only barely tolerated,
but for those who need a little muscle, they are valuable employees. |
