Races of Krynn : My Vision
In the beginning there were three races: Elves of Paladine, Humans of Gilean and Ogres of Takhisis.
- Elves
Original race of Good,Paladine.
- Sea-Elves
Separated and changed from original elven race by Greystone. Sea-Elves live on the seas of Krynn, especially in Blood Sea of Istar and in Courrain Sea south-east of Silvanesti.
Sea elves are actually two races: one is called Dimernesti (Shoal Elves) and the other Dargonesti (Deep Sea Elves).
- Kagonesti
Wild Elves.Kagonesti lives in South Ergoth and maybe other wilderness areas of Krynn as well.
- Silvanest
Original elves.This race lives in elf-land of Silvanest.
- Qualinest
Were originally elves of Silvanest.Led away by Kith-Kanan.More free and kind to other races.Living-place:Woods of Qualinest.
- Humans
Original race of Gilean,God of Neutrality.Humans could choose between Good,Neutral and Evil.
- Gnomes
Originally humans,helpers of Reorx.Because of their proudness cursed by Reorx.Living-place is Mount Nevermind,Sancrist but gnomes can be found anyplace across Krynn.
- Kenders
Gnomes which wanted to split Greystone,to see what's inside.Greystone made them Kenders.Kenders can found in every place,but largest settlement is area between Balifor and Goodlund.(Kenderland?)
- Dwarves
Gnomes which wanted to keep Greystone because of it preciousness.Greystone made them Dwarves.Dwarves live in mountain areas of Krynn.
- Kal-Thax
A legendary race of dwarves. Best of all Dwarf races, they were taken to Reorx because of their ultimately skill of work.Kal-Thax does not exist anymore in Krynn.
- Thorbardinians
Dwarves of Thorbardin,greatest of Dwarven settlements.To Thorbardinians the goal of life is become like one of Kal-Thax.
- Hylar
Descendants of dwarves of Thoradin, they migrated to the mountains of Kharolis just before the fortress of Thorbardin was built.
- Daewar
One of original thanes of Kal-Thax, (the name of dwarven-thanes of Kharolis before the Hylar arrived) known of their skill in goldwork, and of their wealth.
- Daergar
One of original thanes of Kal-Thax. Dark-dwarves, they are called, for they love darkness and hate light. Their warriors wear featureless face-masks with only slits for seeing.
- Theiwar
One of original thanes of Kal-Thax. Treachurous, wicked and evil. And also the only thane of dwarves ever have magic users in it.
- Klar
One of original thanes of Kal-Thax. Wild and unpredicable, drived mad when imprisoned to their tunnels during the Cataclysm.
- Aghar
An original 'Thane' of Kal-Thax. Gully dwarves. Do I have to describe?
- Hill Dwarves
Rebel dwarves of Thorbardin.They thought it stone-carving and metal-forging is not all,and became driven out of Thorbardin.Hill Dwarves live in mountains of Khalkist.
- Goblins
Goblins,or Orcs are maybe humans corrupted by Takhisis or Greystone.Goblins are spread all over Krynn.
- Gully Dwarves
Maybe mix of Dwarves,Humans and power of Greystone, they have spread to all of Krynn.
- Ogres
Original race of Takhisis,strong,wise and beautiful.When the lust of power grew,the beauty vanished and the Ogrish race was born.
- Irdas
Original ogres,not corrupted because they asked help from Paladine.Servants of Paladine and good.Irdas live in Island of Irdas,long way off from the coast of Ansalon.
- Minotaurs
The
origin of Minotaurs is completely unknown.Main part of minotaurs live in isle of Mithas on north-east end of the Blood Sea of Istar.
That is just my vision,maybe wrong and missing races.Don't get angry,I am not all-knowing.
And again, thanks to Kathy Brown ( about Kagonesti now.How I forgetted that one? )
