24 Playable Royal Road's Race Description

Human:

Driven, expanding, and ready to leave their mark, would all describe a human. The human is ready to work together for a common goal, but are also quick to only fend for themselves. Humans tend to take up any skills that interest them or would further add to their growth in the future.

Halfling:

Cleaver and Curious, Halflings have always strived to never be bored. They dedicate themselves to their ambitions and always want to be better. They have an intense love of music and many families have large volumes of family songs that sing together. They are family oriented and stick together, this leads them to always wanting to defend each other which can lead to misunderstandings if other taller races mock ones height.

Half-Orc:

Wanders, Half-Orcs are the product of children being born from the captured females the Orc Horde have claimed. Half-Orcs are the most diverse of any race due to the parentage of the race. Half-Orcs rarely stay in one location for long due to others normally being wary around them. They are often lifelong adventures and many become great worriers and traveling sell-swords.

Dwarf:

The Dwarf may be more stubborn than any other race ever to come about. These folk have grown to love the earth and are experts in hueing precious metals from it. They are generally militaristic and known to put down their artisan tools in favor of an axe when needed. They are loud and full of good humor, but watch out if one believes you might have slighted them.

Hill Dwarf:

Much like their familiar cousins, Hill Dwarfs are known to be hard force any direction. These Dwarves are slightly taller and longer limbed then their cousins. They favor Calvary warfare, mounts of large rams' bread for battle. They are kind and understanding to those around them. The hill dwarfs have come together and formed a kingdom with the Gnomes, these two races work together covering for each other.

Mountain Dwarf:

These dwarves have put living in the mountains into their bones. They are on average the shortest of the dwarves, but don't let that fool you they are mighty.

These dwarves favor large weapons when in combat, and will go into a berserker rage when their clans are in trouble.

Elegance and Gracefulness, are the opinions of those who first meet the High elves. Arrogant and uppity are the opinions of those who spend long periods of time with them. They have the years and knowledge that holds them above others. They can be quick to welcome and look onto the other races with a kindness that only a parent could have. They also always believe they are right and the elders know they are right even when proof that they aren't is staring them in the face. They have grand schools of magic in their kingdom, but they hoard the information to those they think can handle it.

Dark Elf:

These elves live underground, their skin reflects this as they all have coal black skin. They have lost their touch with nature, but in return they know more about the darker elements than any other. They have in-depth knowledge in poisons and alchemy. The greatest potions ever made were done by the hands of a Dark Elf.

Wood Elf:

They have keen eyes and quick minds. These elves are the greatest archers in the world and seem to be able to hit targets that were thought to be impossible. The wood elf cities can be found in the densest forests known. Their kingdom is ruled by a council of Druids who spread the blessings and wrath of nature to those who deserve it.

Wild Elf:

Free spirited and fast talking, these elves are considered the most approachable of all the elves. Load songs and great food follow the arrival of visitors to their kingdoms. They are called wild by their cousins because they act the most like the short lived races than any other. They have a deep rooted dislike for the Forest Gnolls that have a kingdom in the same zone as they do.

Half-Elf:

These are the sons in daughter of the paring between Humans and High Elves. They are longer lived than humans but don't have the longevity of High Elves. They generally have left to live with their High Elf parents, but they have inherited their human parents' drive which the high elves don't approve of. Over the years they have left and formed their own settlement and families. The race may have started out as the mixture of two peoples, but they have come together to form their own way of life.

Gnoll:

Doglike humanoid that live in migratory villages that live in the Kingdom of Jurso. They hunt large beasts that roam these lands and keep the land very natural.

Rock Gnoll:

Fierce cousins of the Gnoll, they are larger and much more brutish. They live in the Mountains of the Kingdom of Haven. They hunt and keep to themselves, but some will leave and become bodyguards and mercenaries.

Forest Gnoll:

The shortest of the Gnolls, they are more closed off then the others. They live in thick forests and are a very closed off people. They let others visit, but never without an escort. They are a matriarchal society that are led like a pack dominated by the most powerful female. They females are always larger than the males and are the worriers of the race. The males are cooks and gathers while the females do all the hunting. They will kill any wild elf they find breaking the agreed upon boarders of their two kingdoms.

Gnome:

Have a deep fascination with the growth of food and the rearing of livestock. They are almost entirely merchant classes. They have great farms that supply some of the finest food stuffs to all of the kingdoms. They share the Kingdom of Subain with the Hill dwarfs who act as the military of the kingdom. They have been known to produce many great adventures, but never doubt that a Gnome always knows the true price of anything.

Very wild and the only race that really get along with them are the Deep Gnome. They live alongside these underground gnomes where their two kingdoms connect. They use blood rituals to bind themselves with animal companions that will be together for the rest of their lives.

Satyr:

Secretive and majestic, this race is always mired in mystery. Never doubt that anything a satyr tells you is probably only half-truths and deception. They never let outsiders into their secretive blood rites that are thought to give the satyrs the power to control spirits that live in the trees.

Half-Vampire:

They rule their island nation with structure and discipline. This race, that was born from the first undead to ever realize a sense of self, has never had an easy time interacting with other races. They were first born from vampires that fell in love with humans and mated with them for a chance at having a family. The children of these encounters were never treated with kindness.

Tiefling:

These natural born rogues are the descendants of the demons that first invaded from the great abyss. Over the years the demon blood in them has diluted enough to allow them to fight of the bloodlust of their ancestors. A tiefling is much more likely to rob you blind as step in to save a stranger. This race though is often known to never being predictable so don't be surprised if the savior of a legend turned out to be one.

Asmere:

The descendants of those that were first touched by the great god PELOR. Over the years they have grown into a deeply religious sect that are some of the best healers in the world. The center of their religion is a bright shining shard that is believed to be where PELOR took a step on this plain to quell the demonic rising so many centuries ago. The Asmere will fight righteously for the spread of the light to all they encounter.

Argonian:

The lizard humanoid race is one of the first sentient races to ever walk the world. They have survived where many great races have all died out. They live in a kingdom built in the great swamp of Haven. Their society has not changed in many hundreds of years. They have unparalleled control over fire magic and it has been rumored that they first came from dragons.

Khajiit:

They live in the great Desert of Tranquility. A race of cat like humanoids that have mastered life in the most barren location of the world. They are secretive and quick to joke at another's expense. It would be difficult indeed to find a Khajiit that didn't want to be found. The Khajiit are ruled by powerful sultans who hold fast the treasures that are found under the sands.

Wolfen:

The monstrous wolf like race are believed to be descendants of the first werewolves. If a Wolfen hears you say this you might find yourself hunted for the rest of your life.

They have only one true enemy and those are the snake like monsters the Nagga.
