Races of Toranar

This is a list of the races, where they live, and a little bit about their particularities in Toranar that may differ from the descriptions in the player's handbook. This list is not exhaustive, but contains the most common races.

Dwarves are mostly based out of Umstein. Mountain dwarves mostly live in the mountains of central Umstein, while hill dwarves live in the rest of Umstein. Their cultures are not particularly different from one another. Dwarves can be found working as artisans, traders, travellers, or mercenaries throughout the rest of Toranar.

Wood Elves live mostly in Nym, and are largely reclusive but occasionally wanderlust will strike bringing travellers to the rest of the continent.

High Elves are primarily found in Jorilyn. High elves tend to be proud of their ancient and vibrant culture.

Humans are the most populous race in Toranar, and they have two kingdoms, Chiorra and Ilana. While often seen as fanatical and ignorant by other races, in truth they are as varied as any other race.

Halflings are most common among the swamplands of central Chiorra. They are known for a love of poison-tipped arrows and darts, and generally don't consider themselves to be part of the Chiorran Kingdom. Tax collectors and royal guards brave enough to venture into the swamps tend not to come back out. Halflings are sought-after assassins in some parts of the continent.

Forest gnomes live mostly in Nym but have their enclaves all over the continent wherever there is a large enough forest for them. They generally keep to themselves except to trade with the wood elves.

Rock Gnomes are mostly found in the northern mountains of Umstein. They are fiercely independent, and their cities are ruled by councils. Gnomish artificing and engineering is prized across the continent.

Dragonborn Dragonborn mostly live in the Charsah Archipelago, where they constantly fight small wars between their various princes. Prized as sailors and mercenaries, they sometimes travel the rest of the continent to ply their trade.

Tieflings are not welcome in Chiorra and parts of Ilana, seen as evil agents of fiends by Reusans. They tend to be treated fairly by the rest of the people of Toranar, but Charsah is a particular haven for them.

Half-orcs are most common in Umstein and the surrounding area where orcs are most common. They tend to be viewed with suspicion, but rarely outright hatred.

Half-elves are most common along the border of human and elf territory, but are prone to wander. They are accepted in both elf and human communities.
