Lunar Elf them lower on social ranks in urban areas
on Pia.
Bonus Traits
You gain +2 to Appeal.

Defining Attributes
Lunar elves are natural hunters and
stalkers, blending well with a starry night
sky.

Lunar elves have historical conflict with
solar elves, given the contrast of their
abilities. No signs of true superiority have
been given of either, rather their skill sets lie
in different places.

Pian belief states that lunar elves are born of
the gods, creatures with celestial lineage.
Utian beliefs
harshly critique this
idea, claiming that
said gods don not
exist. Debates as
such have gone on
since the
colonization of Uto
and even prior.

Many lunar elves
stary away from
single homes or
living places, rather
living on foot,

the days and
stalking through
the nights. Lunar
elves that do take
shelter in cities
often resort to
underground
passageways,
cartels, and other
black-market
institutions.

lunar elves are
criminals, their

Twilight Elf
Bonus Traits
You gain +2 to Language.
Defining Attributes
Twilight elves are the youngest species of
elves. Their birth was mocked and heckled
until they founded four new arts of magic, a
feat seen only one other time in history.
After their innovation towards magic,
twilight elves were seen with new respect.
Currently, twilight elves are still held at high
regard, as not only does lineage lift them,
but their birth is rather rare to come by.

Bonus Traits
You gain +2 to Power and +1 to Appeal. You
are gifted in Portrayal.

You cannot equip chest or back items,
though both slots may be augmented.

Languages
You know Utopian and Primordial.

Location
Cambions can be found all around Uto and
Pia. Their appearances are beheld by most
other creatures aware of their lineage and
the many speculations that follow their
existence.

Lifespan and Genetics
Cambions are born from two human
parents; the reason for their birth is widely
discussed and debated. The common Pian
belief is that the birth of a cambion is a
message from a celestial. These beliefs entail
the idea that the steps of a cambion creates
extreme world events, whether those be
good or bad.

Common Utian belief is that cambions are
born in mana fluxes; given a human’s
mutable genetics, the oddities come from
extreme magical mutation. Neither belief
has been proven or disproven.

Cambions do not show any signs of aging,
the oldest cambion known dying at nearly
1,100 years old.

Background
Cambions are a sight to behold amongst
most people, as the beliefs that follow them
create odd reputations for them. Cambions
have been alive since humans, though the
rarity at which they appear has increased.

Bonus Traits
You gain +2 to Power. You are gifted in your
choice of Fortitude or Resolve.

The Travel action takes 4 turn actions rather
than 2. When you take the Travel action,
creatures and spells cannot obstruct your
path or prevent your movement.

Languages
You know Utopian and Giant.

Location
Goliaths are found predominately in solitary
locations on Pia, often sticking to a single
area for the many millennia of their lives.
They live in exceedingly small groups, if not
alone, in isolated areas such as caves or
abandoned shelters.

Lifespan and Genetics
Goliaths do not degrade with age; rather,
their body and their abilities grow stronger
with years. Their genetic code is nearly
impossible to impair or mutate, as their
predetermined destiny is hardwired into
their biology.

Any two goliaths can breed. The species of
the goliath will be brought down from a
single parent, though the secondary parent
may alter the destiny of what type of giant
or titan the offspring will grow to. Giants
may breed with humans, though several
complications in birth may cause the death
of the human parent; even upon success, the
goliath’s growth into a giant or titan may be
stunted at a point in its life.

Background
Goliaths are the youth of giants and giants
are the youths of titans. Their growth is
extremely gradual, and there is no
predetermined line that a goliath must cross
to be considered a giant.

benefits from armor in this form unless they
are augmented or occupy your head or chest
slot.

Languages
You know Utopian and Beastspeak.

Location
Therianthropes are often found in large
packs and cities on Pia, huddled together in
villages and tribes. On more rare occasion,
some can be found in the Utian Wilderness.

Lifespan and Genetics
Therianthropes are humans subject to a
curse that is easily passed down through
heritage. Humans and therianthrope can
breed, allowing the curse to spread further
and more so eliminating the human
population.

The curse is a dominating gene, smothering
the mouldability of human genetics. The
spawn of this curse is far off of written
records, though speculations show some
leads.

One of the only features defining the
difference between a human form of a
therianthrope and a human is its lack of
pupils. This is a dead giveaway to any
creature who is aware of the curse’s lore.

Background
Therianthropes were the product of an
ancient curse set on humans, allowing them
to transform in a specific beast based on

Attacks made this way have a range of 5
meters, deal 1d12 Energy damage, and are
unaffected by score modifiers.

Your head, neck, and chest slots cannot be
augmented.

Languages
You know Utopian and Primordial.

Location
Most dracolings are found on Pia, their
specific location based on what their
draconic parent was. This may include deep
oceans, high-altitude lairs, or dense forests.

They often live in seclusion or with other
species, not very often with other dracolings
due to high competitiveness between them.

Lifespan and Genetics
Dracolings are the product of a draconic and
human parent. The chance of an offspring is
low and often requires medicinal or magical
aid, though humans do possess the
necessary genes to capacitate a draconic
half-body.

Background
Dracolings were once frowned upon during
their early years of existing, though after
showing formidable power and excessive
abilities made them respectable creatures,
both to fight and befriend.

Bonus Traits

Languages

Location
Beastials can be found all over Pia, a
common species amongst the elves and iron
dwarves. Common civilian folk in villages
and towns, as well has hunters and
gatherers in small packs.

Lifespan and Genetics
Beastials share the form of both a beast and
a human, though their human genetics seem
to be squandered and dominated, making
them biologically immutable, unlike
humans.

Beastials live to an average of 100 years old,
upwards of 200 with proper medicine and
healing. They can breed with other like
beastials as well as humans, though
breeding with humans will always create a
beastial offspring.

Background
The history of the birth of the beastials is no
more than speculation, though their past
seems to be nearly as long as humans
themselves. Speculation says that it was
most likely an experiment of magic, though
many researchers of their past say that
magic was too new and not well enough
understood for that to be the case.
