Greenskins(Evil) |
Goblins: Are a sick green color, stand at 3-5 feet, weigh up to 100lbs, have whiny voices, aren't extremely intelligent, very weak,depend on their numbers to overwhelm they're foes, take great amusement in the pain or suffering of others and are very cowardly unless victory is assured.
Orcs: Height 6-8 feet, weight 110-200lbs, dark green color, well muscled, with thick chests, act like goblins except are meaner, stronger, stupider, not as many, and stink worse.
Hobgoblins: Bigger than goblins smaller than orcs. The stupidist of the greenskins.
General Information: Greenskins will live in tribes or clans (Usually with a orc chieftan.) anywhere there's seclusion i.e. forests, mountains, tundra, etc. All greenskins have an unmistakeable stench and lower jaw. The lower jaw sticks out away from the upper jaw with 6 yellowed fangs raising towards their noses which are like a lizard nose. Lifespan 30-50yrs. |
Trolls(Evil) |
Trolls:Height 6 1/2-11 feet, weight 100-160lbs, tall, skinny, lanky, long and sharp fingernails, pale green or grey color, rarely talk, extremely stupid, can regenerate wounds if given enough time, amputated limbs will eventually grow into another troll, don't fear anything, must have their head decapitated to stop regenerating, rubber or stone like skin, will not group up above 12 without fighting amongst each other. Lifespan 50-70yrs. |
Dragons(Neutral) |
Dragons:Huge monstrous beasts of unriveled strength and power, 80-600 feet, no one knows their weight for they are too mean and too large for any race (besides maybe the gnomes) to weigh. They can fly with wings, dragons can also shape shift into any race on Garam, every dragon is a different color, size and strength. All dragons can cast spells though the weaker ones are more capable. They're scales protect them from just about any attack except once in awhile a scale might fall off and give them a bald spot, also the underside of any dragon is exceptionally weak. Bodies are very bulking and when walking in dragon form are very slow. Big long tail, will go into a frenzied state if they see or hear of any wealth worth object. (Sometimes this helps other times it doesn't)No dragon has ever died of old age but they do age so no one knows the lifespan of a dragon. Almost all dragons are evil but the race is neutral owing no allegiance to anyone. Can only hang around one other dragon normally, and that one is usually their mate. Hate all dwarves caused by ancient grudges and competition for gold. (The feeling's mutual.) All dragons differ in some degree i.e. Some might have horns while others have spikes on their tails, etc. |
Giants(Evil) |
Hill Giants(Average Giant):height 12-20 feet, weight 600-1100lbs. Stupid, thick skinned, and very evil living only to pillage and kill. Live in the mountains mostly but some will live on the tundra.
Stone Giants: Bigger than hill giants,hard as rock,cannot go outside during the day because of they're hatered of the burning sun.
Frost Giants: Smartest of the giants. (Still stupid though.) Immune to any cold like enviroment, really dislike fire, and are bigger than stone giants.
Mountain Giants: The biggest,strongest and stupidest of the giants. Very few, those that are around probably lead a giant clan somewhere nearby (Sometimes this is taken by a frost giant with high reknown.)
Cyclops: One big eye in the middle of their forehead, because of this they have no perifreal vision. Are very subterranean. Smaller than all of the giants. (Bigger than ogres.)
Ogres: Smallest of all the giants (Still rather large.), usually, if the frost giant is smart enough, the ogres will be used as caannon fodder. Lifespan for these creatures is 50-100yrs.
|
Minotaurs(Neutral) |
Minotaurs: Half-man, half-bull race, height 8-14 feet, weight 400-1000lbs, humanoid figure with bull outside, very strong, live in forests and mountains mostly, have bull horns on the top of their heads, very ill-tempered, relatively smart. Lifespan 70-120yrs. |
Humans(Good) |
Humans: Of all the good races on Garam humans are the most numerous, even though war,famine and disease has almost wiped them out many times. Height 5-7 feet, weight 120-350lbs. Some humans do turn evil unfortunatly. Humans also give up their soul and will quicker than the other good races. Varying hues of skin color. All humans differ in looks and build. Lifespan 50-70yrs. |
Elves(Good) |
Elves:Humanoid figure except with pointed ears, slender or lithe bodies. All elves are considered "fair" in the respect that they are all more beautiful than any other race on Garam. Elves are the most intelligent of the good races. They have quicker reflexes, better hearing, better eye sight, and better smell which make them ideal scouts and rangers. However elves are not normally stronger than humans and are more defined. There are very few dark elves. (Note: Not drow). Elves are known for their type of magic weapons. When one of their heroes, leaders, legends, etc, dies they have their souls put into these weapons so they may continue to fight. The souls are put into whatever sword the hero preferred and can communicate with its weilder. The sword will also take on a life of its own when fighting a race hated by the hero. For instance say a hero that hated orcs was being weilded against orcs it will take on a life of its own as its hero puts his energy into the blade, this does not make the weilder invincible but it will kill much more of that hated enemy. A few other abilities is it will strike fear into whatever race that hero hates the most, and cannot be weilded by the hated race or it will kill the weilder. Lifespan 600-1000yrs. |
Dwarfs(Good) |
Dwarfs: Height 2 1/2-5 1/2 feet, weight 100-350lbs. Dwarfs are short and stocky with a lot of facial hair for both males and females (Which they never cut.) Dwarves never have mages for they don't like magicks and never had the ability to cast spells anyways. Strong and fierce they will always fight to the death rather than taken prisoner or surrendering. Very tough and stubborn they are able to take many wounds and blows without falling. When fighting evil enemies dwarfs often fall into a crazed state of suicidleness and it has been recorded many times of a single dwarf hacking down a mountain giant in this crazed state. Tunnel-dwelling they don't like the sun much but some still like to live as merchants or other such things on the surface. When confronted with wealth or stories of wealth most dwarfs fall into a state of which is immpossible to explain. They are well known for their love of gold, Mithril, and good old fashioned dwarven mead. Dwarfs are the best craftsman around and are responsible for nearly all of the most powerful weapons on Garam(Magical or not). Most often dwarfs keep a facade of mean and grumpy but in reality they treat their true friends no matter what race with a fatherly protectivness (For better or worst). Able to take many troubles and burdens during a long haul without complaint or encumberence. They have a fear of water but will overcome it if it is necessary. Dwarfs are the wisest good race. They have a will of iron or steel and will not turn evil under just about any circumstances. Comradery, honour and bravery are held in high regard by all dwarfs and to be one of their true friends you'll have to have all of these characteristics along with a heavy drinker! Lifespan 350-500yrs. |
Halflings(Good) |
Halflings:Are dwarfs on a smaller, weaker, more cowardly and fatter scale. Halflings are well known for their thieving skills. However they are not much for battle and will only fight if cornered, forced or both. Halflings are best known for their three loves in life drinking, eating and socializing. Lifespan 80-170yrs. |
Gnomes(Good) |
Gnomes: (Rumored to be related to dwarfs and halflings) This bunch is the same size as dwarfs with little or no facial hair. They are the geniuses for the land of Garam. They depend on their "inventions" to win batttles. (If they work.) Lifespan 100-250yrs. |
Centaurs(Neutral) |
Centaurs: Rarely seen creatures of the forest. They're bottom half is that of a big horse and the top is that of a well toned human torso. Height 6-16 feet, weight 600-1400lbs. They have short beards and are immensly strong, equal to or greater than that of a mountain giant. Excellent fighters and archers. They have huge amounts of knowledge for the forest and are friends with every creature there. Able to take many many many wounds before even staggering!! For only one centaur has ever been recorded falling during battle and that was Maraax, recruited to help defend a stronghold from a force of giants and greenskins, he alone killed over 60% of the force (A force in the thousands) before being taken down by 6 mountain giants and a battle unit of orcs. It was a major loss to the race for there is not many of them and he was one of the biggest and stongest of his race at that time. Even the elves have a hard time keeping up with these creatures in the forest. Lifespan unknown. |
Evil Dwarves(Evil) |
Evil Dwarves: These dwarfs live far beneath the surface of the world where no other race besides maybe dragons have ever been. They base they're colonies on rich viens of Varniel the strongest known metal on Garam. The only source of this metal however is in the evil dwarfs strongholds up and down these viens and there is only a few of these that the good dwars can get too for they will ont go down any farther than that. Varneil is a metal that when forgen in the lava heated smithees of these dwarfs it becomes unbreakable and the natural light errie colored blue of the metal becomes a dark dreaded blue not unlike the color of their souls. For some reason these dwarfs have been twisted, they're souls turned dark and forsaken. Many suspect that a curse was cast down upon a clan of dwarfs but for what reason no one knows. It is said that maybe they all turned selfish or greedy and amongst scholars it is a long debated subject between those reasons and this one; maybe they dug too deep and discovered an evil beyond any comprehension. It doesn't matter know though for the souls of these dwarfs has already been sealed to a horrible parody of an existence to what they used to be. |
Monsters and Other(Mostly Evil) |
Monsters and Others: There are so many and varied races, that there is no way for anyone on Garam to ever record them all. Wherever these races come from, theres no shortage of them and they come in different sizes, hues, different characteristics and intelligence. Such as one might be willing to be your friend while another will try to bite your head off. |
