[Dwarves] [Doomsayer Dwarves] [Elves] [Shadow Elves] [Gnomes] [Furfoots]
Surpassed in life span only by the elves and gnomes, dwarves live to be 750 - 850 years of age. Dwarves are sturdy folk that grow no taller than four feet tall. They have an innate hatred for magic and have a strong resistance to magic for that reason. Many races laugh at the oddity of the dwarven body for both males and females grow long beards. Dwarves are populous throughout the world and though less numerous are second only to humans in number. Most dwarves have at least some knowledge of the forge and geology. Many other races hire dwarves to construct battlements and run forging operations. The dwarven love of the forge is surpassed only by their love of finely-crafted weapons and armor.

Some of the dwarven clans remembered the Abyss even when all other races had forgotten it. These were the Doomsayers and their goal was to reunite the Abyss with the Realmz. Their existence is doubted by many, but as I have faced them myself, I know that they exist and that their goal is the destruction of this world and eternal chaos.

Elves are the eldest of all known mortal races. With a life span that can exceed 2000 years, they are considered all but immortal by many shorter-living races. Elves are slight of build and none too sturdy, but they are very quick of mind and body. Most elves are agreeable people but tend to shun the more brutish of races. The elves' major downfall is their hatred for change. They live such long lives that they will fail to see the urgency in many situations until it is too late. They wish no ill will on the goodly races but are disgusted by the fast pace and wasteful ways on many races. Due to their conservative ways, elves are seldom found outside their beloved forests.

The shadow elves are distant cousins to the more common surface elves. Cunning and ruthless, the shadow elves are one of the most feared of all races. They hail from the underdark, a cruel and vicious subterranean world. Those that break the code are cast out to fend for themselves. As sly and deadly as they are, the underdark is no place for a solitary creature of any race. Most outcasts perish quickly, but a rare few find their way to the surface. One would think that their reputation as stoic killers would bind their fate to the gallows but in fact it lends them some protection. Many rich merchants see the value in a bodyguard whose mere presence will ward away many would-be bandits. Due to the savage life of the underdark, most shadow elves never live to die a natural death. Because of assassinations and their hatred for the weak and frail, few members of their sick society die of old age.

Gnomes, these distant cousins of the dwarves, are long since totally separated from the dwarves in all ways. They still look very much like dwarves and many other races would find it difficult to tell the two apart if gnomes were built slightly stockier. Gnomes are extremely intelligent and curious. They almost always dwell underground but on occasion they are known to travel to the surface. Due to the fact that they are few in number and dwell underground, they are often the target of more hostile races. Their high intelligence gives them the edge in battle, as well as in avoiding it. They are not known for their skills of war, but few will attempt to defeat their well-planned defenses.

Furfoots are odd folk indeed. They are well liked by most races and yet they tend to shun contact with all but their own. They resemble elves in build but are much shorter, growing to about only three feet in height. Elves are quick of body but appear sluggish when compared to Furfoots who amaze other races with demonstrations of speed and agility. They dwell in pleasant dwellings in remote areas and seldom leave home to adventure.
