Races
The Dragonborn were the sacred soldiers of old Hyrcania, made by magic and now fated for destruction wherever they may be found.
Elves and Gnomes come from somewhere else. Help me figure out where they fit in. Some say the Elves are the children of the Rhbus, but the dwarves revere those heavenly craftsmen.
Dwarves are Babylonian. They build massive ziggurats. Others build fastnesses deep under the earth, where Kuvera bid them go, who the dwarves and some humans call Kothar-wa-Khasis
Tieflings, they say, are the earthly progeny of Rakshasas. They are nomads, wandering the world in gypsy bands. Most distrust them, but they know many secrets.
Nobody’s ever seen a Half-Elf.
Halflings are Vanara.Vanara are amusing, childish, mildly irritating, badgering, hyperactive, adventurous, bluntly honest, loyal, courageous, and kind. Some of them are assholes or evil. Some really powerful Vanara can do incredible things: jump so far they can basically fly, can be incredibly strong, can stretch their tails to ridiculous lengths and do cool things with them.
Half-Orcs may be the forgotten children of the Yakshas.
