Dwarven Dominated Lands Races: Dwarven 84% Gnome 9% Human 3% Halfling 2% Elf 1% Half-Elf 1% Culture Dwarven kingdoms stretch deep beneath the mountains where the dwarves mine gems and precious metals and forge items of wonder. They love the beauty and artistry of precious metals and fine jewelry, and in some dwarves this love festers into avarice. Whatever wealth they can’t find in their mountains, they gain through trade. The chief unit of dwarven society is the clan, and dwarves highly value social standing. Physical Area: Covers an area of 161 thousand square miles.

Map Color Grey Elven Dominated Lands Races: Elf 86% Gnome 4% Human 4% Half-Elf 3% Halfling 2% Dwarf 1% Culture Most elves dwell in small forest villages hidden among the trees. Elves hunt game, gather food, and grow vegetables, and their skill and magic allow them to support themselves without the need for clearing and plowing land. They are talented artisans, crafting finely worked clothes and art objects. Their contact with outsiders is usually limited, though a few elves make a good living by trading crafted items for metals (which they have no interest in mining). Elves can live well over 700 years, giving them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter-lived races more deeply. Alignment. Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not. Physical Area: Covers an area of 230 thousand square miles.

Map Color: Magenta Human Kingdoms Races: Human 80% Half-Elf 9% Elf 4% Dwarf 3% Halfling 2% Gnome 2% Culture: Humans are the most adaptable and ambitious people among the common races. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different lands where they have settled. When they settle, though, they stay: they build cities to last for the ages, and great kingdoms that can persist for long centuries. An individual human might have a relatively short life span, but a human nation or culture preserves traditions with origins far beyond the reach o f any single human’s memory. They live fully in the present—making them well suited to the adventuring life—but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy. Individually and as a group, humans are adaptable opportunists, and they stay alert to changing political and social dynamics. Physical Area: Covers an area of 161 thousand square miles.
