I am working on the worlds history. It is just going to take some time. I work weird hours so when i get my days off i will post at least part of the world's history and where the story will be starting.

 

[Ravenloft]

How about a minotaur pc?

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

Minotaur PC's are far too horny

Heh... horny XD

 

[Ravenloft]

Considering how keen their sense of smell is, can you really blame them? I mean with all those pheromones the ladies put off, whats a bull to do?

Why, there was this one time that Grell, my minotaur warhulk, soon to be paladin of Clangus: God of battles, swore he smelled blood on the bar wench that was serving them. He kept looking for wounds on her every time she would walk past, which no doubt made her rather uncomfortable. Finally she asked him why he was staring at her, and he told her that he was worried that she might be hurt, because he could smell blood on her. Turned out that she was just on her period, talk about embarassing.

Wait... Horny... Bull horns... I get it! Thats a great one! Bwahahahah! *Note: I am not really that slow, I just like doing these things for comedic effect. Note on the note: I'm also not so oblivious that I thought you really needed me to confirm that I was just playing dumb for comedic effect... Oh no... I'm in a logic loop! HEEEELP!*

Ironically, the only thing that can save you from a Logic Loop is a Vulcan Neck Pinch.

Grammatically, the only thing that can save you from misuse of the term "ironically" is Data the android smacking you upside the brainpan.

Shanthar History

n the beginning four sentient races were created on the four corners of the world. As time past they have expanded to many races and creeds. Amongst the gods a god found himself wanting. A wanting to rule. He started a war that split the heavens in two. He became known as The One Who Wished to Rule All The war split the heavens in two. The Heavens became known as The Upperrplain and the Underplain. The gods fell behind two, The One Who Wished to Rule All Charless and The Protector of All Things Solan. In the end as the last clash of weapons only two were left. Crelos the God of Hate and Treshina the goddess of Battle. They saw the world as it had become a sharded place and a peace was obtained for the time being. Treshina rules the Upperplain with a just hand and Crelos rules the Underplain with an iron fist. and the world between has simply become to be known as Shanthar the accursed world.

Unnderplain and its Citizens

the Underplain shape and landmasses are much like Shanthar in appearance. However it is an eternal night, where there is water on Shanthar there is lava and the actual land itself is cracked and dried. The air has the smell of brimstone Most must live underground in the Underplain, where they can find drinkable water and most food is a fungal. Lots of mushroom seaweed other fungi and underwater fish is the main diet unless A being can secure a plainal shift gate then they can trade with Shanthar. Many of the Citizens are afraid of what occurs on the surface of the plain. The God, Crelos, is very cruel with any he finds on the surface. Cause of this fear Underplainer citizens find it hard to trust once they get to the surface of Shanthar.

Fury Dwarf: Quick to anger even by dwarven standards. If they were able to organize they would have a fairly successful revolt against Crelos. Fury Dwarfs are very proud of the deformations that come from being born Infernal and wear cloths that frame the deformation.

Dark Elf: Very calm and calculating when dealing with their situations. Very organized with their Supplies. Though very distrusting of anyone that is not from their settlements. They think the deformations that come from the Infernal blood that runs through their veins shows of a shortcoming to their elfin heritage. Though the skin tones they carry they take great pride in there being no blemish.

Spawned: Very much tricksters when in their home settlements. Though keep anyone else at arms length. Very embarased of the deformations that come from the Infernal blood.

Shadow Halfling: A very bitter people. They have come to know hard times in the Underplain. Their settlements are nearest to the surface world and have come to be raided time and time again by the infernal. Left them as exiles finding refuge where ever they can find it. Deformations they could care less. They need a place to sleep where they aren't being attacked by some Infernal or another.

Upperplain

The Upperplain or as those who reside there call it Heavenskeep, is a very beautiful place it is always moderate temperatures. The land masses are still that of Shanthar though the normal rock formations are of silver and gold. the roads are shimmering from the dust that comes from the shavings of these. and when compressed from a great deal of travel it looks like the streets are silver and gold plated. The People love their goddess, for she rules with an even hand. The guilty are punished according to their crimes but people live in a relative peace.

Sune Elf: Golden skin, blond to a lighter brown hair. Looks that seemingly make you believe they were touched by the sun. Peaceful in nature. However their temper when set into motion is that of a star going supernova.

Peace Dwarf: Calmer than most dwarfs. They have skin like marble. Defenders rather than Attackers. They work in Marble mines and Mines of fine jewels. They are the chosen when The Goddess of Battle goes to war.

Graced The spawn of the heavenly beings and Humes. They are what the race of Hume were meant to be on Shanthar. However due to the corruptions of the world Hume may never be again. proud of their heritage they usually take up the roles of palidans for The goddess of battle.

Light Halfling. Settlements in the upperplain for the light halflings are technological wonders. Not just of warmachines but other items such as clockwork devices and medical marvels. when technological advancement happens on the plains the light halflings are at its heart. usually blond to red haired and fair skinned these halflings usually look unkept compared to many of their counterparts but its a strike of genius.

Shanthar

The lands consist of many terrains ranging for greenlands to marshes to mountains to beaches to desserts and all in between. there are three major continents. Euroc, Araniica and Nablem.

Euroc is the Continent on the Western side of the world. Heavy Nord and Traditional Europe if you want to compare it to middle age earth.

Aranica is much like the Persian and African Empires of old.

And Nablem is much like the Warring States and Three Kingdoms periods in Asia.

will be edited more later especially if i get good input.

Euroc

Euroc is a continent of various western culture. The Northern part of the continent consists heavily of Stout Barbarian Humes and Axe Dwarfs. Barbarians often Viking into the Eastern Sea to gain supplies. Which means pillaging other ships for their supplies and wares. The Axe Dwarfs often find themselves doing very little trade with the Barbarians. More so their wares are bought by the Southern land humes. They usually have to defend from Viking raids. The southern part of the continent is more stable. Humes usually have Townships with a stone walls and large castles.

This is also where the Strongfoot Halflings have their settlements. The Strongfoot are short and relatively well rounded Halfings with furred feet with Leathery soles. They abhor shoes or any kind really. Also the Strongfoot hate traveling.

The High Elfs have their capital city Herisia on the southern regions on the western peninsula. The High Elfs are fair skinned with dark hair. Though their striking feature is their star shaped iris of their eyes. Their eyes colors though can range from blue to brown as with the Humes. They believe their age has past and the Hume age has come to being. Though they still worry of the Sleeping Ones coming being the end of All ages.

Half elfs are common amongst all the continents and their cultures are as numerous as their parent lineages.
