Now I am taking things from games, books, movies and other forms of media to create this, as well as adding some of my own creations. If you see something familiar, don’t freak out.
The land of Nosgoth
Races:
Vampires: Once a common and respected race, the Vampires were hunted to near extinction. While most have devolved into monstrous forms, few humanoid vampires remain. Humanoid vampires normally have three fingers and two claw like toes. Instead of slowly changing like most, they enter periods of ‘hibernation’, from which they emerge with a new gift. They possess Telekinetic and Telepathic Powers, and very rarely the ability to shift into a dire wolf or bats.
Humans: The most common race of Nosgoth at this time. They have settlements in every region. Few have weak magical powers, mostly used as healers, and even fewer are strong enough to use magic as a weapon.
Demons: Demons can range in appearance, from almost human to vile beasts. Most have the ability to use basic telekinetic and magic powers. They are extremely loyal to the religion and gods, being the one race that widely believes in the Creator Gods.
Elves: Elves are strongly aligned with nature, and possess very powerful magic. The embody grace and beauty, as well as being far stronger and faster then any human. They sing their weapons and tools from the trees by elvish lyrics woven with magic. They too, believe in the Creator gods, often throwing festivals in the honor of a specific god.
Dwarves:Short, stout, and stubborn people. They believe they came from the rock itself. Most are skilled miners and smiths. They tools, weapons, and jewelry are in large demand throughout Nosgoth.
any sort of mythical and real beast, just name it.
Demi-Gods: Half-god and half of any other race. They are weaker then the gods, but stronger then the other. They often rise to positions of power, like kings or emperors.
Gods (But only a few): The eldest gods are the ones that created Nosgoth. They have very powerful magic and other abilities. Their children are weaker, but not to much so. Most are aligned with a specific thing, which relates to their powers and abilities.
Elder Gods: (They will not be available characters, but Im listing them for reference.)
Cynder Shadows: Goddess of Death and Fear
Kassava: God of Life/Creation
Nion: God of Day/Light/The sun
Liliana: Goddess of night/Darkness/The moon
Helgrind: Goddess of Chaos and War
Corean: God of Nature
Regions:
Northern Nosgoth: This place is dominated by tall mountains and deep ravines. The villages here are small and perched precariously on ledges. The biggest settlements are underground, where most of the dwarves live.
Quod Magna Silva(The Great Forest): Eastern Nosgoth is dominated by a large, thick forest. Home of the nature loving elves. You are likely to stumble upon an elvish village and not know it, as they sing the trees into houses.
Montes Ignis(The Mountains of Fire): The entire southern coast of Nosgoth is lined with volcanos and lava fields. Little vegetation grows here and it’s almost constantly dark. Most demons live here, and small, rickety villages.
Paludibus(The Swamps): The swamps of Nosgoth encompass it’s entire central core. The vampires seem to like it here, building mansions and castles in the darkest parts of the marshes. Most being abandoned.
Pratis(Plains): Western Nosgoth is covered by vast plains dotted with beautiful lakes and laced with rivers. Most of the Human race lives here, having divided the vast land in separate kingdoms (Which you can make, but there will only be three in all) Large strongholds dot the landscape, the largest being that of the Sarafan Brotherhood.
Well Known Groups:
Sarafan Brotherhood: A brotherhood of warrior priests, formed to hunt Vampires and Demons. Solely human members.
Kain’s Empire: The remains of a vampire reign from a millennium before. Still loyal to their long dead king, they mostly stay within the swamps. (You may expand upon this if you wish.)
The Ancients: The group of Elder Gods, the original creators. They mentor the younger generations of deities to rule when they finally pass.
