Races
-
The Earth Gnomes - Miners, wanderers, and tricksters who dwell either in the wilds or underground, often underestimated until it is far too late.
-
Orc-Blooded - Wild and savage warriors, often bestial yet capable of great nobility.
-
Shire Halflings - Small, practical people with a wanderlust that sometimes overcomes their distaste for adventure and their love of comfort.

-
Spellbinder - "Seeing is believing. I promise you, you will believe."
