Races
All of the races are represented in York. As are their variants (ie Grey Elves, Rock Gnomes etc). The races are separated by Geographic Areas but get along with the other "good" races and each other to some extent.
5 Elves:
The elves live in the Great Wood an ancient elvin wood that has been their home since the great retreat thousands of years ago. The Elves protect the wood and consider it sacarid. They have a treaty with the humans that keeps the two kingdoms at peace. The
offical leader of the Elves is Queen Asmera who is well respected by the other elves..
6 Dwarves:
The dwarves live mostly in the Bearded Peaks named both for the constant snow and the dwarves that inhabit them. The dwarves are broken up into Clans the top clans rule certain holds. Each hold has a hall a hearth and a forge. Dwarves currently do not use magic. If you want to play a magic using dwarf it will need to be developed as
the game progresses.
7 Gnomes:
Gnomes are cousins to the dwarves. They live both intermingled and apart from their cousins. The gnomes have mayors that rule over their towns. They live primarily in the Bearded peaks area.
8 Halflings:
Halflings have no official home land. There are high concentrations of them that live in small villages in the foothills near the Great Wood and the Old Road. This area is known as the shire.
