THE
PEOPLE
Learn of the population groups who call Tralodren home.
MORTALKIND
Mortalkind includes the main humanoid races populating Tralodren, chiefly its Northern Hemisphere, these being: aethoni, elves (Aquadion, Eyellium, Patrious, Syvani), dwarves, half-elves, halflings, humans (Celetors, Napowese, Nordicans, Telborians), and gnomes.
AQUADIONS
Aquatic elves with blue-green skin, webbed fingers, green hair with a flatter nose and more slightly more pronounced brow.
CLOSENEXTCELETORS
Humans with a light to dark brown complexions and black hair that can range from a tight curl to flowing silk-like strands and just about anything in-between.
CLOSENEXTDWARVES
Shorter, gray-skinned humanoids who make their homes in the hills and mountians of Tralodren.
CLOSENEXTMONSTROUS RACES
The Monstrous Races are the second most populous group of humanoids populating Tralodren, chiefly the Southern Hemisphere with additional pockets in and around the Northern Hemisphere.
Further divisions are applied when it comes to the three main groups from how various others peoples have descended. These three main groups are: jarthals, minotors, ryu. Their various descenants are as follows: deltarians, goblins, hobgoblins, lizardmen, minotaurs, and, ogres.
DELTARIANS
Deltarians are the result of fiendish experimentation upon lizardmen, producing a seven foot tall reptilian humanoid with black bat-like wings. They shared the same dark green scales as lizardmen but deltarians have smoother looking, smaller scales as well as normal, fully human hands (four fingers and a thumb). Their feet are still three toed, however, both feet and hands ending in sharp claws.
GOBLINS
Goblins stand between three and four feet tall, possess a lime green skin, yellow eyes, and straight black hair that often thins, leaving most of the men bald or balding to some degree by or shortly after they reach middle age. They have pointed ears and sharp, more pronounced canine teeth as well as clawed hands and feet. For the most part they look smaller versions of hobgoblins, much to the hobgoblins dismay, who often see them as inferior in many if not in every way.
CLOSENEXTHOBGOBLINS
Hobgoblins are six to seven foot tall humanoids with yellowish skin the color of a ripe pear, with pointed ears, and larger, slightly more pronounced canine teeth with clawed hands and feet. Their eyes are only red or yellow in color with a very few exceptions being a sort of orange (though this happens more commonly with hobgoblins born beyond the Boiling Sea). They possess black or brown hair which most men tend to keep short while some others will let it grow longer—though not letting it get any farther than touching the top of their shoulders (females often being a bit longer than that). Men sometimes grow beards or mustaches, though, most tend to prefer being clean-shaven.
CLOSENEXTJARTHALS
Jarthal stand between seven and eight feet tall. Their taupe colored skin is also rather hairy among males who find thick collections of it on their forearms, shoulders, chests, and legs, possessing a prominent brow, flattened nose, and other “apish features” on a relatively human-looking frame. Even so, their hands and feet are clawed and their canine teeth are slightly larger and more pronounced than other humanoids (but not enough to stick out of their mouths when closed). Men and women both tend to wear their hair long and adorn their locks—and even beards with men—with a variety of items and methods.
LIZARDMEN
Lizardmen stand six to seven feet tall, resembling a humanoid alligator. Thick dark green scales cover their frame with smoother scales and lighter tones dominating their stomach, chest, and neck. Their hands have three fingers and a thumb—their feet being three toed as well—but with webbing between the clawed digits. Females are the larger of the males with only a few exceptions throughout their population, which is the really the only differences known to non-lizardmen since both male and females share the same body type—females lacking breasts.
MINOTAURS
Minotaurs are a corruption of minotors brought about by fiendish experiments by the demonic princess, Narsulla. The result was a seven foot humanoid with olive skin and black or red bull heads with black horns for males.
MINOTORS
Minotors possess a golden skinned humanoid body with the head of a banteng and swan’s white wings. Their bovine head is a brassy color with males having black horns ranging in size from 8-12 inches.
OGRES
Ogres are seven foot tall humanoids with skin tone ranging from a dark to light brown. In many ways they resemble jarthals, but with less body hair, a smaller build, and noses that aren’t as flat; looking more human-like with pointed ears. Their canine teeth are slightly more prominent, giving them just a hint of a bestial nature.
RYU
Ryu stand between seven and eight feet tall (females being the taller and larger of the sexes), resembling humanoid monitor lizards. Their four-fingered hands (three fingers and one thumb) and three-toed feet end in strong claws and their mouths are filled with razor sharp teeth. Their green, scaly skin is striped and speckled in various designs unique to each ryu. This, and the size difference is really one of the few means by which non-ryu can tell them apart as both sexes share the same frame—females lacking breasts.
CLOSENEXTGIANTS
Giants are a collection of large humanoids found across Tralodren—both in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Giantkind is broken down into seven distinct peoples: Aloadae, Anakim, Jotnar, Nephilim, Rephaim, Surith, and Trolls.
ALOADAE
Their hair is a soft bluish white, like foamy waves, and their skin has a greenish tint about it. Their eyes are a pale pink like coral. Each also has a set of gills on their necks, which allows them to live under and above the waves as they see fit.
CLOSENEXTANAKIM
These giants have medium brown skin with charcoal gray hair and blue, green, or brown eyes. Men and woman both keep long hair. Many of the men have beards of varying length, but others keep themselves clean shaven.
CLOSENEXTNEPHILIM
Inbreeding has taken its toll resulting in twelve foot humanoids with medium to fair skin and six fingers on each hand. Each also possess an extra row of teeth on their upper and lower jaws behind the first. Those more genetically degraded tend to have stooped shoulders with severe cases even leading to various forms of hunched backs with those not as bad off tending to have a straighter stance.
REPHAIM
These giants possess a medium brown skin tone that often grows darker after time in the sun. They uniformly have brown hair and blue or sapphire eyes. Men often let their hair grow a bit long (to the end of their neck or top of their shoulders) and let their sideburns grown long as well, forming into muttonchops in many cases.
SURITH
Surith are fairer haired and skinned giants that in later times sometimes get compared to larger sized Telborians. Female Surith are quite found of braided hair and many of the males like mustaches and the occasional beard.
CLOSENEXTTROLLS
Trolls stand ten feet tall with curling rams horns and deadly clawed feet and hands. They have reddish-brown skin with thick hair around their arms and forearms, save with females who are smooth skinned. The men can’t grow any facial hair save eyebrows, which helps augment their sharp teeth, cruel looking mouth, and yellow eyes.
