The
Dragons
Of
all creatures that inhabit our world, dragons appeal the most to
people's imaginations. Wise, powerful, aggressive, and cunning are all
words that come to mind when contemplating their kind. They are the
epitome of all that is beautiful in nature, and if one ever gets to see
a dragon, one is considered to be blessed. (At least if he survives) ...

 The
Vampiric Ghoul
Originally
created by the dark archmage Ragon, the madman, the vampiric ghoul is a
perfect example of just how far evil will go in its perversity. The
story has it that Ragon dedicated his life to the 'assembly' of a female
counterpart who would be as vile and evil as himself. Apparently the
vampiric ghoul was a byproduct of his experiments, one which the evil
archmage found particulary entertaining. Instead of destroying or
torturing his creation (as he usually did), he repeated the experiment
many times, in the process trying all kinds of variations. Then on one
day, he assembled all of his creations, and teleported them to random
locations all over the lands, where they went on a killing spree.

 Imps
 Kobolds
have perfected magic skills. The small creatures are known all over
Rivellon for their magic proficiency. Most of the artifacts and relics
come from underground workshops and have been crafted by talented
Kobolds. Many Kobolds have psionic abilities and can communicate with
animals through telepathy. Over the centuries, the Kobolds have managed
to create an alliance with the evil Shantisi. The Shantisi are race of
huge spiders. The Kobolds use the Shantisi as mounts and fighting
companions.

 Lizards
The
Lizard People from the Badlands of Yuthul-Gor have long been the stuff
of countless myths and legends. The Lizards live in so-called Quorls,
communities of up to fifty members. The struggle for survival in the
barren mountains of Yuthul-Gor is very challenging, and the Lizard
People are trained in the use of weapons from earliest childhood on. For
the male warriors, this training ends with a maturity test that must be
finished within one year. The task usually involves retrieving a rare
artifact or slaying a dangerous beast. The Lizard People are very shy
creatures, and they hardly ever venture into the regions beyond
Yuthul-Gor.

 Orcs
Most of the Orcs
live in large tribes in the southern parts of Rivellon. All tribes
pursue different interests, and inter-tribal conflicts are a regular
occurrence. Some tribes even keep contact and trade relations with
humans. Once a year, all tribes gather in the Plains of Grak-Nal-Dur,
where the brave Orc warriors celebrate their raids and pillages against
the rest of the populace. The individual tribe leaders use this
gathering to forge new alliances with other clans. Some Orc warlords
would like to unite all tribes under one flag, however, this is a dream
still seemingly out of reach.
