The Four Kindred Peoples

  • Elves are graceful and long-lived.
  • Dwarves are industrious and prideful.
  • Halflings are nomadic and blessed with good fortune.
  • Humans are versatile and numerous.

Optional Rule: Playing a City Dweller

A number of intelligent races have been discovered in the City Below. These creatures are capable of speech, magic, and trade. However, they are typically hostile to outsiders, and considered monstrous by Kindred.

Should the Game Master allow other races, players might roleplay their characters as being native to the City Below. The existing backgrounds can be adapted appropriately; ambassadors from underground nations, clan exiles, and curious scholars might find their way up to the Canvaslands.
