Races of Annwn

"I never met a halfling I didn't like...to eat"
Rogg Head-Smasher, Orc Chieftan


    Annwn is populated with a diverse and fantastic array of races, of dispositions both fair and foul. Most important among the goodly races are the sturdy dwarves, reclusive elves, cheerful halflings and mischievous gnomes. Evil races also abound, the most notable of which are the brutish orcs, savage reptilian races, and cowardly goblinoids. Far more prevalent than any of these, however, is the diverse and unpredictable race of the humans, the undisputed masters of much of Annwn. As such, most of Annwn has been subdivided into kingdoms and states based on the governments of the humans.

Common

    Though diverse languages are spoken by the many races of Annwn, a simplified version of the human tongues known as common is spoken ubiquitously throughout the many kingdoms, allowing most travellers to converse at least haltingly with other humans they meet. Many of the demi-human and humanoid races have learned common as well, do to the prevalence of humans in their territories.
