==Player Races==
The following are races that may be played by characters in the Otan setting.

===[[Ælf]]===
Legend has it that [[Ælf]]es (🔊 Alfs) were put on [[Otan]] by [[Woden]] himself when the world began.  Since then the Elves have divided themselves into three major factions, the [[Wodælf]]es, [[Dunælf]]es, and [[Friggælf]]es.  Their differences surround that which they believe to be the true aesthetic. Players wishing to create an [[Ælf]] character may choose from one of the following six variants.

|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|The [[Brimælf]]es (🔊 Brim-alf) live undersea, primarily off the coast of [[Ælfgarad]].  They prefer to stay beneath the waves and as a result, have little to do with their [[Ælf]]en siblings ashore.
|The [[Dunælf]] (🔊 Dunn-alf) grew distant from their [[Ælf]]en cousins again because of an aesthetic preference.  The [[Dunælf]] preferred darker features in skin tone and over many years, bred accordingly.
|The [[Friggælf]] (🔊 Frig-alf) is the predominant race and culture in the country of [[Ælfgarad]].  They were once intermixed with their [[Wodælf]] and [[Dunælf]] cousins until rifts in their sense of the artistic aesthetic came to the forefront of their culture and politics.
|The [[Wodælf]] (🔊 Woah-dalf) are, not surprisingly, the preeminent race and culture found in [[Ælfwode]].  They were, most believe, the only variety of [[Ælf]] to exist.  Their love for [[Woden]] and his creation extended to the forests and nature in which they lived.
|The [[Wyrmælf]] (🔊 Verm-alf) are distant relatives of the [[Aydahar]] and by extension, dragons.  The [[Ælf]]en predilection toward the aesthetic, however, caused them to carefully manage their genetic lines.
|The [[Half-Ælf]] are half human and [[Ælf]].  It is possible on [[Otan]] for a [[Half-Ælf]] to possess a bloodline which does not have a human half, but this variety of hybrid should be discussed with the DM before creation.
|}

===[[Aydahar]]===
The Aydahar are a race of draconic-infused humans originally of human origin, but whose ancestors and sometimes parents are of a draconic lineage. When it was learned that dragons and humans could produce offspring, the races of the Aydahar and the similarly draconic blooded Ungir soon came into being.

|The [[Koke Aydahar]] of the [[Koke Aydahar Region]] have a blue coloring like that of their draconic ancestors.  They can also be distinguished by the rhinoceros like horn on their snouts.
|The [[Kola Aydahar]] of the [[Kola Aydahar Region]] have a bronze coloring like that of their ''bronze dragon'' ancestors.  They can also be distinguished by the multiple fans and spikes on the backs of their heads.  
|The [[Kumis Aydahar]] of the ''silver dragon'' or [[Kumis Aydahar Region]] have a metallic silver shine to their skin and features that match those of their silver draconic ancestors.
|Native to the [[Mis Aydahar Region]] of the [[Aydahar Confederation]], the [[Mis Aydahar]] share their genetic makeup with ''copper dragon'' ancestors.  A [[Mis Aydahar]] individual may actually have a draconic parent.
|[[Half-Aydahar]] can be found throughout much of the [[Aydahar Confederation]] and the [[Free States]].  They can live in any country on [[Otan]] more or less safely, however they prefer to be near others who share draconic blood.
|}

===[[Dweorg]]===
The Dweorges are a race with a predilection toward mining. A short conversation with a Dweorg will reveal their life's philosophy, which can be reduced to a simple motto; "Treasures await beneath." Genetic and cultural compulsions aside, this motto alone tempts the Dweorges to dig.

|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|The [[City Dweorg]]es are the most common variety of [[Dweorg]]es, inhabiting every city and surrounding area where [[Dweorg]]es can be found.
|The [[Deep Dweorg]] are the Dweorgen diggers. These rarely see the surface of [[Otan]] and few are known outside of their chosen communities and dig sites.
|The [[Sea Dweorg]]es have a penchant for harvesting the treasures of the oceans. The have made a reputation for themselves in [[Otan]] as purveyors of coral, pearls, and other oceanic treasures.
|The [[Half-Dweorg]] is a hybrid race, half human and half Dweorg.  They may have traits and features of either race.
|}

===[[Garis]]===
[[Garis]] legend speaks of a time when the [[Garis]] did not inhabit [[Otan]] but traveled through the heavens.  Always looking to the stars, they have survived and even thrived on [[Otan]], but never feel at home.  It seems that endless internal conflict and factional disputes will keep them grounded indefinitely.  There are three distinct variant races of [[Garis]] which are most readily noted by the shape of their muzzles.

|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|The [[Akimsilik]] are a Garis variant with vulpine features such as a narrow snout and fluffy tail.  They live mostly in the [[Akimsilik Region]] of the [[Garis Triumvirate]].
|The [[Beybitsilik]] sport hyena-like features with a short snout, and their heads often crested with a mane that starts from their foreheads and goes down past the back of their necks.
|The [[Ustemdik]] are another fur covered variant of [[Garis]] with strong lupine features and an intimidating gaze.  Their fur colorings tend range from black to white with all shades of grey in between.
|The [[Half-Garis]] are a variant of the [[Garis]] race with additional with additional [[Human]] bloodlines.  They may have varying amounts of fur of nearly any color, and nearly any color of skin beneath.
|}

===[[Grendel]]===
The [[Grendel]] have little patience for [[human]] politics and have set out on several occasions to destroy all that is [[human]].  Encouraged by the half-human, [[Half-Grendel]] warlock [[Zoranthar Zhanat]], the [[Grendel]] made war on [[Ortalyk]] and [[Soltustik]] with varying degrees of success.  Only the [[Accord of Kala Astanals]] stayed their hands from seeking more human blood.

|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|The [[Kalas Grendel]] are the backbone of [[Grendel]] civilization, populating the cities, entering trade and fueling the economy.
|The [[Maerc Grendel]] are the salt of the [[Grendel]] soil.  They populate the marshy areas surrounding larger [[Grendel]] populations, living off the land and keeping the settlements safe.
|The [[Sogis Grendel]] are the backbone of [[Grendel]] military might.  They are raised on a diet of martial training and contempt for the enemies of the [[Grendel]].
|The [[Half-Grendel]] are hybrids of [[Human]] and [[Grendel]] ancestry.  They may possess dominant traits and features from either lineage.

|The [[Araldiktar]] are an islander people hail from the island nation of [[Araldar]] on the western edge of Otan.  They are often easily identified by their western dialect of the Otani, their wind-beaten bronze complexions, and their dark features.
|The natives of western [[Otan]] known as the [[Batistiktar]], mainly inhabiting the country known as the [[Batis|Republic of Batis]].  Formerly a very withdrawn people, it came to the world's attention that the [[Batistiktar]] were exceptional farmers.
|These southern people of [[Ontustik]] are generally recognizable by their olive complexions, brown eyes and thick black hair.  Their most common feature, however, is not physical.  They are noted for their devotion to [[Aspan]], the god of the sky.
|These central plains people are a melting pot, of most of the people of [[Otan]].  The [[Ortalykshilar]] come in every size, shape, hair colour and skin tones ranging from snow white to ebony black.

|These eastern people of Otan are extremely wrapped in their many traditions.  Few things in the society of the [[Sigis Turgindar]] take place without the ceremony and accoutrements of centuries past.
|These southern people of [[Otan]] are a matriarchal society and have deep ties that interweave their animist religion with their local and even national politics.
|The northern [[Soltustikter]]'s are very nearly defined by the terribly cold weather of their native country of [[Soltustik]].  Forever plunged into cold climate, the [[Soltustikter]]s are adept and skills to keep themselves warm..
|}

=== [[Hellspawn]] ===
The [[Hellspawn]] were simply a variety of humans who had taken to sprout antlers.  Speculation and rumors soon followed and they were labeled with the epithet [[Hellspawn]].  Having fewer numbers than their otherwise unaltered [[human]] tormentors, they embraced the [[Hellspawn]] epithet as their racial designation.  The thrust behind this decision is that the [[Hellspawn]] name tends to inspire fear before it inspires derision, giving their people a survival advantage.

===[[Kuulik]]===
The [[Kuulik]] (🔊 Koo-oo-lik) love a bargain and their location is a great place for bargaining. Situated between [[Human]] and [[Grendel]] territory, they have a knack for serving both sides during times of war and peace alike.

|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|The [[Sawdager]] (🔊 Saw-dah-gur) are perhaps among the most ambitious people in all of [[Otan]].  While even the simplest creatures understand basic trade, the [[Sawdager]] have perfected trade into an artform.
|If ever a buckle was swashed, a [[Tenizi]] (🔊 Teh-neet-see) a swashbuckling [[Tenizi]] probably swashed it.  Their brand of [[Kuulik]]ishness made fishermen and seafarers of them all.
|For anyone who's had an older sibling, they'll have some insight as to how the [[Uris]] (🔊 Oo-ris) blend into [[Kuulik]] society. They are the martial arm of the race, and are very protective of their smaller brethren.
|An [[Half-Kuulik]] is the result of a union between a [[Human]] and [[Kuulik]]. The [[Half-Kuulik]] may possess racial traits from either of their parents. [[Half-Kuulik]]s are very rare. 
|}

===[[Misik]]===
The Misik are a solitary race native to south-eastern Batis. Because of their detached nature, they rarely venture outside of their settled areas and few go on to become adventurers. For the most part, their existence is known to few outside of Batis.

|The [[Aristan]] are leonine humanoids with several distinct traits that separate them from the more common [[Baris]] variant.  Most notably, the [[Aristan]] have a taste for big game, which makes them necessarily gregarious.
|The [[Baris]] are the most common of the [[Misik]].  They can be found in the widest range of colors and markings.  Their most distinguishing feature among the [[Misik]] is their lack of features, in that they rarely have additional fur forming anything resembling a mane.

===[[Qurilissi]]===
The Qurilissi, better known to some as the "builders" appear in the lore of most of the religions of Otan. Their role was to help create the world by fashioning the mountains and lakes, forests and ice and almost everything that there is on Otan to this very day.

===[[Sweardælf]]===
The [[Sweardælf]] (🔊 Sware-dalf) have adapted into variants of themselves based on a combination of culture, tradition, and ethics.  The [[Borgainælf]]es are the most culturally entrenched with their philosophy and culture setting the groundwork for [[Sweardælf]] society.  The other varieties of [[Sweardælf]] are largely those who have traditionally shunned the mainstream philosophy and large populations, in general, to live their lives on their own terms.  The [[Scraefælf]]es are the most visibly differentiated because of a genetic predisposition toward albinism.

|The [[Borgainælf]] (🔊 Bor-gan-alf) like to bargain.  More specifically, they like to borrow things.  More specifically than that, they like to borrow things without first asking permission as to whether that thing may be borrowed.
|The [[Fyrthælf]] (🔊 Firth-alf) are a jungle and forest-loving variety of the [[Sweardælf]].  They are gregarious, but keep their tribes to limited numbers and will banish or exile those who do not fit in well enough.
|The [[Geardælf]] (🔊 Gar-dalf) are the garden variety [[Sweardælf]]es who have a genius for agriculture.  The [[Geardælf]] can make anything grow from a seed and they can make that seed grow larger and more fruitful than anyone else on [[Otan]].
|The [[Scraefælf]] (🔊 Skrafe-alf) are the most uncommon of the [[Sweardælf]]es.  Rarely seen on [[Otan]]'s surface, the [[Scraefælf]]es prefer to live underground and have done so since before the [[Great Erasure]].
|The [[Half-Sweardælf]] is a half human, half Sweardælf mix that may be first generation, or a multiple generational [[Half-Sweardælf]].

===[[Ungir]]===
The [[Ungir]] (🔊 Un-geer) are, for the most part, highly gregarious and industrious people with a penchant for exploring the underground.  Their origins come from a combination of human and draconic ancestry with mixtures of different flavors of [[Aydahar]] lineage as well.  Over time the result of this great mélange of genetic experimentation lead to the current [[Ungir]], plus a few variants.

|The [[Juzuu]] (🔊 Joo-zoo-oo) are an aquatic variety of [[Ungir]] who are very rare indeed.  They sport gills enabling them to live underwater indefinitely, which is inaccessible to many adventuring parties.
|The [[Karangi]] (🔊 Kare-rahn-jee) are a dark-featured variety of the [[Ungir]] who prefer be continuously underground.
|Depending on the family line, roughly one in every dozen [[Ungir]] produce an [[Usanin]] (🔊 Oo-sah-tin).  Regardless of their coloring or previous bloodline, they will differ fundamentally by having developed a fully articulated pair of wings.
|The [[Ustinde]] (🔊 Oo-stin-day) are the surface-dwelling [[Ungir]] most commonly known to other races.
