Optional -Ethnic Background

The Realms of Aorlis Fantasy Setting, and its greater world of Aarthus, is human-centered. There are no terrestrial elf or dwarf homelands, nor are elves and dwarves character options. There has been non-human/human interbreeding in the past, so it is possible to have characters with non-human traits.

Under Country, and then Lineage, there are number of non-human races a character may have as an ancestor. Some of these lineages won’t affect the character one way or another, and bring no quirks or abilities with them. These are: flower maid, forest gnome, gnomide, mugharriboon, oak maiden, reptilian warped one. These lineages may offer character color, and role-playing cues, but that’s it.

The following lineages may have more direct consequences.

Cambion

Changeling

Dhampyre

Dragon

Faery

Giant

Ogre
