Races of Zebedee
Zebedee is home to a wide variety of races, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and histories. From mighty Minotaurs and Orcs to clever Gnomes and elusive Elves, every race brings something unique to your adventure. Choose wisely, as your race affects your abilities, play style, and how the world responds to you.
Beastmen
These half beast half-man hybrids are the result of magic experiments gone wrong, left unchecked they bred in the wildlands north of Sardonyx and their loose tribes became affiliated under the banner of the Emperor. They make strong warriors and love to hunt their enemies. Their mixed heritage gives them a unique perspective and makes them deceptively wise.
Drow
Dark cousins to the surface elves, Drow live in the subterranean caverns known only as the Underdark. They have been seen recently aiding the forces of Sardonyx though no one truly knows their intentions.
Duergar
The true tale of how the Duergar came to be has long been forgotten after millenia of distrust between the warrens of the Underdark and the kingdom of Khazrad-Zirak, bastion of the elder race. Like their dwarven brethren the duergar are a hardy race who live and die in the bowels of the world, the realm of the duergar is black and cold.
Dwarves
Hailing from the fortress citadel of Khazrad-Zirak, the Dwarves are a proud and ancient race. Dwarves are an incredibly tough and durable folk, who have a history of bloody battle and stalwart defence.
Gnomes
Diminative creatures, gnomes rely on their small size and dexterity to get them through the day, coupled with their natural intelligence which is virtually unmatched in the other races. A gnomes greatest weakness is their playful nature and light heartedness which doesnt make them the wisest of creatures.
Goblins
Much smaller than their Orc cousins, Goblins dont have the brutish strength or toughness, but they make up for this with their small size and dexterous nature.
Halflings
Small folk, sometimes known as hobbits, they hail from the caves west of Cormallen, not known for their great durability or prowess in battle Halflings more than make up for this with their dexterity, and their appetite for food and alcohol is legendary.
High Elves
Agile and dexterous, the High Elves, or Ascended Ones as they prefer to be called see themselves as the superior race. They look down upon all others races as mongrels, and prefer to have little to do with them. Though In times of need or when the dark forces threaten the free world, they put aside their disdain and stand alongside the Cormallen alliance. They know should the unthinkable happen and the Alliance fall that they can not stand alone against the forces of Evil, even though it pains them to admit this...
Humans
By far the most common race in Zebedee, humans are generalists and central to the political situation. There are two main factions, one in Cormallen, the other in Sardonyx both sides have been locked in a fierce struggle for dominance alongside their various allies. So far neither side has managed to prevail...
Kilrath
Formed of nomadic tribes that live in the deserts, the Kilrath are a race of feline humanoids, incredibly adept and agile they make fearsome foes in battle. In their desert homelands they hunt the wild game with spears and shields and coupled with their natural aggression and instincts are dangerous when confronted.
Minotaurs
Giant, beastial and full of rage, Minotaurs are incredibly powerful if not a little stupid, with two great horns they are a force to be reckoned with as they rampage through the enemies ranks baying with fury!
Ogres
Inhuman in size, appetite and power, Ogres are a mystery to most common folk, their origin is said to be from a union between a giant and a man though how such thing is possible is anyones guess, they are incredibly strong brutish warriors excelling in battle, and as much grace as a dead stone.
Orcs
Brutish warriors, Orcs live for battle and love nothing more than to fight their enemies. They suffer somewhat when it comes to intellect and wisdom, but their strength, toughness and combat prowess more than makes up for this.
Trolls
Huge hulking beasts, with little upstairs in the brains department, they are slow, sluggish creatures, but have amazing endurance and staying power in a fight
Wood Elves
Like their High Elf cousins, Wood elves are dexterous fighters, their home in forests to the west of Cormallen, is the most precious of all things, and they have an affinity with nature gaining bonuses when in woodland areas.
