One goal for this world building for me was to also build a world, where the players can choose almost any Race that is available. Except maybe Dragonborn and Teifling. They are more for the setting of The Forgotten Realms.
So I need this setting to have Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes, Half-Orcs, and Half-Elves. This will actually be pretty easy.
I shall start with the Humans. I think the Humans will probably be the wildest of all the Races other than the Half-Orc. They will be war-mongering barbarians banding into different clans of Humans. I think that in this world Humans have a friendship with Elves, since they are friendly towards the Elves that are like them (Wild Elves, Wood Elves, etc), but they were never as friendly with non-wild Elves. Of course, these Humans welcome Half-Orcs, and Half-Elves in their bands most of the time. And Elves that are wild they will welcome also, but non-wild Elves they will not welcome as much.
Next are Elves. Elves I think will be separated by two main breeds (otherwise known as sub-races). One will be the Wild Elves, and one will be the High Elves. The Wild Elves will include all the wild-like Elves and are the main allies with the Humans, the smaller sub-races in the Wild Elves are the Wood Elves, Desert Elves, Elves of the Moon, and Elves of the Sun. The Wild Elves will be, of course, “wild like” and will be in bands of themselves like the Humans. The High Elves will be prestigious and wise. These Elves will include the Wise Elves, the Star Elves, the Sea Elves, the Gold Elves, and the Silver Elves. Not all of the Hight Elves will be able to cast magic though.
Now for the Dwarves. I think the Dwarves will probably live mines and dungeons underground, not facing the rest of the world. Actually, maybe one main sub-race of Dwarves will live above ground, and one will live below. Nah, I like my old idea. I think there will be several different sub-races, and there will be no “main” sub-races like the Elves do. There will be the Mountain Dwarves, Hill Dwarves, Small Dwarves (no, I don’t like that), Dwarves of the Forge, Fire Dwarves, Cold Dwarves, Stone Dwarves, Light Dwarves, and Dark Dwarves.That sounds good. So, as far as I can think right now, the Dwarves will have little or even no contact with the realms of the Giants and the other Races. So Dwarves will probably be a minor Race in this world.
I think that Halflings and Gnomes are going to be basically the same type of Race. It is just that the Gnomes will be a little shorter than the Gnomes, and will possess more skill in the forge and magic, maybe the Gnomes will even possess Elf and Dwarf blood from the Gnomes ancestors, therefore making a divide in the Race of Halflings and Gnomes. I think that discard the Gnome Race as a Race, and instead replace as a sub-race of the Halfling. So there will be three sub-races of the Halfling: the Strongfeet, the Stealthfeet, and the Gnomes (or Magicfeet).
Now the Half-Orcs and Half-Elves I will not do much work on. I have always disliked the thing in D&D and D&D-like RPG’s that Half-Elves and Half-Orcs are not allowed to have children, so I am going to change that. Half-Elves and Half-Orcs are able to have children. Also, I think that probably the Half-Elves will not be very welcome to their Elf parents, if their Elf parents are of the main sub-race: High Elves. Otherwise, they will be welcome by both their parents Races. Half-Orcs, however, I don’t think will be welcome in Orc community, since it is a sin to marry a Human in Orc, Goblin, and Troll community, but they will be welcome in Human community.
Finally, since one of my players has chosen to be an eagle human type creature from The Forgotten Realms, I need to include it in my world, but at the same time it needs to be different, and by a different name.
First of all, this Race will be a very major Race in the world I know that. I also think that they will be emissaries and servants to the Giants. And they will be called Vranen.
Actually, I don’t think there is any “second of all” thats it for the Vranen!
I also like the idea of a sundered Giant Race that did not do something good for the Giant gods and so they got small in their size and their age. I will call them the Malls (small backwards).
The Malls will only live for a short period of time, I think till 20 years old, and therefore they begin adulthood at four, and then are old at 16.
The Malls will also be short, I think they will be three feet tall.
Thats it!
Finally, I like the idea of an extra Race in the world. I’ll think about this Race. I think it will be a magically created Race.
This Race will be called Sigam, and will have started being created along time ago by a crazy old wizard called Sigam himself to raise an empire, unfortunately, he created a Race that was to intelligent, and the Sigam (which was the Race he created) turned on him, and killed him. The Sigam are no longer bound to one wizard, however, a Sigame can be claimed by a magical person at any time with the correct spell, or the true name of the Sigam (every Sigam has a true name).
I imagine the Sigam to be an evil nefarious Race like a Flesh Golem, made out of patches of skin stitched together with empty sockets filled with red fire as eyes, and these Races will also be able to cast magic innately because of the wizard who created them.
Now I should decide on three main Races that inhabit this world other than Giants. Obviously, Humans will be one, and Vranen (because I said so already). So I have two so far. The last one is definitely not going to be the Dwarves since I said they live underground isolated. So I think that the Elves will be the final main Race.
So I have described the Races in light form, after this I will describe the main Races in more detail. But, next I will describe how life is under the Giant Realms in Human tribes and clans. I will have a think about that. But for now, Au revoir!
