Perhaps some more details.
We’ve been discussing trialing out a classic fantasy setting that focuses on a rich fantasy setting using old favourites from the fantasy genre, with lots of room for player contribution to both races and the overarching setting. This is only a trial, mind, to see if there’s any interest in the more classic aspects, so if you’re keen on some good ol’ fashioned fantasy, stick up your hand.
We are thinking of having a number of different playable races available, which will include the six elven kingdoms, humans and the halfbreeds. Later down the line, there will potentially be three more introduced.
The Six Elven Kingdoms consist of:
The Gold Elves - wealthy and decadent, the Gold Elves are primarily traders and merchants, who dress lavishly and consider wealth the ultimate sign of status.
The Steel Elves - proud, Paladin-type warriors who live by a strict code of honour and are the most fierce warriors of the six kingdoms.
The Wood Elves - these shy, peaceable elves live simple lives in harmony with the land, and will defend the woods with their strange druidic magics.
The High Elves - the High Elves, also known as the Magician Elves, consider themselves by far superior to the other six kingdoms, due to their specialised knowledge of powerful magic entirely different from the magic of the Wood Elves.
The Sea Elves - the only elven race who can abide by water travel. While the other elves are firmly attached to their lands, the Sea Elves’ kingdom consists of coastal stretches and islands. They are instrumental in trade and have gills that enable them to breath underwater.
The Night Elves - the Night Elves are widely regarded with suspicion. With coal black skin and their propensity to live in caves networks in mountains, rumours abound that sometime in history, elves were crossbred with some unnatural other creature, resulting in the Night Elves. Nocturnal and mysterious, Night Elves are both shunned and respected by the others.
Humans - Humans do not have a kingdom of their own and exist only as small nomadic tribes or as servants of the superior elves. Humans may only enter the Council as part of an elven entourage.
