Spirit folk are all but extinct in Talinar.
Sea spirit folk are gone their cities now ruins at the bottom of the dust basins that were once oceans. If any remain it is not known where they have gone.
River folk are now corrupted and evil, the miasma has taken its toll on these once proud and people.
Bamboo spirit folk are all that remain and they now must bide their remaining time with humans for the last viable areas of Talinar.
The years of mixed breeding have all but eliminated pure blood spirit folk and in there place are the half breeds who keep the bloodlines alive.
Orcs and their kin have been buried beneath the earth in the Underdark so long that their race has all but been forgotten on the surface of Talinar.
They have now it seems returned to the surface in a vengeance.
Long has the Crab clan battled with the Blood Raged over what little land was left seems to have come to an end with the miasma gone.
Now from the very bowls of their own city do the Orcs return in unheard of numbers.
