Sentients Compendium

''There is nothing more in surplus in this damn world than sentience. I don't believe there is a single creature on this earth that doesn't have some bastard offshoot somewhere that can stand and talk like any man.'' -Barabos Athorne

Many varieties of sentients populate the world of the Elder Gods. Many look similar to man, while others take on more animalistic traits.

Manfolk
The most numerous of species in the known world. Named for the most numerous of them.

 * Giantkind
 * Goblinkind
 * Humankind
 * Orcenkind
 * Smallkind

Mingled Folk
The mingled folk are hybrids of one or two sentient species. People who are mingled can be infinitely variant from each other. A number of mingled folk come from the direct pairing between two species (Elves and Humans to create Half-Elves, for instance), but there are a strong number who come from pools that have been mingled for so long that entire civilizations are made up of their races (the Half-Elven of Lao Shei are practically a species of their own at this point).


 * Half-Dwarven
 * Half-Elven
 * Half-Orcish

Critterfolk
Some species have the look more of beast than man. These are known as the critterfolk, and they vary wildly in apperance and demeanor.


 * Bullywug ((Frog People))
 * Dragonkind
 * Dragonborn
 * Kobold
 * Kenku ((Crow People))
 * Neko ((Cat People))

Direfolk
The spawn of great evils of the past. There is one species that belong to this family, and they are every bit as fiendish in visage as their demonic and devilish forefathers.


 * Tiefling
