Major species

Through the many thousands of years of the galaxy's history, the various species have found themselves in a wide variety of positions across the cultural landscape of the galaxy. Some of the most significant information on the more prominent species will be documented here.

Major species list 

Each contains all the lore that the public would know about each species (with the irrelevant but fun information being labeled set dressing).

Human

Important lore: one of the most prominent species in the multiverse, they are said to hail from the ancient land of Sarid and have a very thick tradition of adventure. There are two prevalent subspecies within humans: the halflings and the goliaths[who often get confused with half giants].

​

Set dressing: It is said that the word human was derived from the word humanity which in ancient times meant something along the lines of 'the soul that is shared by all'.

Elf

Important lore: As one of the longest-lived species in society, elves have been deeply engrained into each aspect of it. In terms of their societal impact, elves are known for their immense quality in pretty much all aspects of their life, making them well respected by outsiders. On top of this they possess several traits that make them seem exotic and mysterious. For example they are a binary-Rebis, meaning they are magical creatures that can change their gender at will(or over a long rest). Then they often spend large periods of their life wandering and mastering professions making them enigmatic. And finally, pureblood elves are very rare to come across, with even their governments being mostly run by subservient species, making them unbelievably enigmatic. 

​

Set dressing: Elves don't sleep in the traditional sense of the word, meaning they are more active than most humanoids. Combined with their unusually high metabolism, this makes them pretty universally thin. On top of that, they have a very refined sense of taste, making elven cuisine among the finest in the galaxy. They are particularly known for their salads and wines. Elf fashion is also highly sought after.

Dwarf

Important lore: If elves are known for their quality then dwarves are known for their quality. Their mentality is more is less and the bigger the better. But to them the true mark of craftsmanship is the ability to replicate an item consistently. As a result they mass produce everything and take pleasure in the profit they create. Of course for a dwarf there can be nothing more spectacular or more profitable than to be able to create unique things consistently.

​

Set dressing: despite popular opinion, dwarves actually have a very refined sense of taste. They do not, however have a very high tolerance for taste, and, as a consequence, prefer simplistic meals to complex flavors (ex: ale, fish and chips, and mutton over wine, sushi, and barbecue)

Gnome

Important lore: Gnomes are most known for their tinkering and ingenuity. The gnome homeland was previously part of the elven dominion before they won their independence. Currently the gnomes market themselves as free thinkers and pushing new and innovative ideas.

​

Set dressing: gnomes enjoy texture as much as flavor and so develop complex meals with both in mind.

Tiefling 

Important lore: tieflings are commonplace among most societies but their homeland is a pirate republic that is very much out of the way of most civilized folks. They are often shunned and ostracized by most humanoid peoples. Most of these tiefling will usually end up forming small communities in the populations they come to inhabit.

​

Set dressing: Tieflings are proportionately high carnivores, leading to the violence that seems to follow them.

Orc

Important lore: Having been recently uplifted by the elves the orcs have a very rural lifestyle that some have interpreted as barbaric. However while the orcs never attained travel between the spheres on their own they actually have a surprisingly developed society. They prefer to salvage or raid from others to develop their society rather than make on their own. They also highly revere their matriarchs and have an intricate meritocracy.

​

Set dressing: Their reproduction rate is incredibly high. Much like a pig they are capable of eating a very wide assortment of things.

Goblin-kin

Important lore: If elves are known for their quality and dwarves for their quantity, then goblin-kin are known for their efficiency. From their militaristic society to their Olympics, they seem to prefer a more simplistic lifestyle, whether in civilization or the wild. 

​

Set dressing: Goblins have a pretty weak taste, so they either eat bland food or add a lot of spices. As a consequence, their food is generally very functional.

Mammalians

Important lore: The giff, cero, and luxodans are hippo, rhino and elephant people respectively. The giff are known for their intelligence and tactical mind. The cero are known for their strength and honor. The luxodans are know for their wisdom and hartiness. It is believed that their government would be the next to gain a permanent seat on the alliance after the giff’s invention of gun powder but the ineffectiveness of their guns in battle by the red hand led to the goblinoids taking that seat instead.

​

Set dressing: All are vegetarians though each race preferences are different (loxodons like fruit, giff like salads, ceros like grains, etc).

Dragon-kin

Important lore: All dragon kin are descended in one way or another from Bahamut himself and take fierce pride in their lineage. In the modern day dragon kin were among the most populous and  powerful species in the galaxy. But after the overthrow of old draconia true born dragons have been very scarce and most of the sub races of dragon born have been organized into a caste system. As it currently stands any dragon kin outside of new draconia are generally either singular individuals or part of a criminal organization.

​

Set dressing: True dragons are hermaphrodites by nature but culturally adopt a gender based on their personality. They are also fine with humanoids eating them, partly because they often eat humanoids without much issue. Dragon born who are of a mixed decent of other humanoids don’t share this mentality though. All dragon-kin have great control of their senses and an excellent tolerance with which they wield their senses.

Giant-kin 

Important lore: All giants and giant kin are the direct descendants of the god Kord. They are currently regarded as the greatest force in the material plane. They function in a caste system and are biologically identical to humanoids except for being innately magical in ways humanoids are not.

​

Set dressing: The Giants are well known for their operas. Giants consider kraken and dragon a delicacy.
