The Aavakeen are a ferret-like race with a fascination for fire that live beneath rolling grasslands and savannahs in large mazes of burrows.

Aavakeen worship fire and burn tribal tattoos into their fur as a sign of their devotion. The first tattoo received is typically their tribal sigil, a symbol venerated by their tribal shaman and found carved throughout their burrow, on war banners and embossed on shields and cloaks.

Aavakeen range between 3.5 to 4.5 feet tall and stand upright on their hind legs. Their fur, depending on their ancestry, can be jet black, tan, burnt orange or blond and is often covered in tribal tattoos.

Occasionally, an Aavakeen is born with orange eyes- a sign of good fortune on the tribe. This individual often goes on to become tribe Shaman.

Typically they wear light clothes made for arid climates and carry large rucksacks and satchels to transport various collectibles they find.

It is customary to announce your name and “tribe” to the Aavakeen upon greeting. For example, “Gwen of the Dennovar Tribe”.

Aavakeen have a deep racial enmity and rivalry toward centaurs, gnolls and wemics and frequently battles occur between the races over territory and resources. In some regions Aavakeen have managed to establish small footholds on the surface building small villages of mud huts atop their burrow villages and trading with other races.

Dragonborn are a mysterious race who claim descent from mighty dragons. These steadfast people live in nomadic clans, selling their services as mercenaries or adventurers in a desperate attempt to reclaim their ancient glory.

Dragonborn are robust humanoids who stand half a head taller than most humans and weigh at least 300 pounds. They resemble their draconic ancestors, with horned snouts, frills above their ears, and small claws on their hands and feet, though they have no tails. A few “pure-blooded” dragonborn have scales that clearly match the color of one particular dragon breed or another, though generations of interbreeding have left most dragonborn with dull rust-brown, gray, or ocher scales with only subtle spots or other patterns indicating their draconic heritage. Male dragonborn have slightly more pronounced horns and frills, but otherwise the sexes are indistinguishable.

The clan is vital to dragonborn life, and most dragonborn can trace their ancestry back centuries. Most members of a clan have the same draconic heritage, though children hatched with a different affinity than their parents are not uncommon or cause for concern except in the most pure-blooded clans. Self-sufficiency, honor, and self-improvement are valued above all else by dragonborn clans, traits that are often perceived as arrogance by other races. Most dragonborn are highly lawful and worship an aspect of Bahamut, though some evil clans who embrace the heritage of chromatic dragon’s worship Tiamat.

Dragonborn are not common in the North Kingdoms. Clans of dragonborn can be found on Raielôth, and northern Lurasia. Solitary individuals or small groups who travel to the North Kingdom’s are often mistaken for lizardfolk.

Goliaths are large, rugged humanoids that inhabit the tallest, most inhospitable mountain ranges, higher than even most dwarves find tolerable. These daring nomads follow herds of wild sheep and other game up and down the mountain slopes, fearlessly braving cliffs and ledges to survive.

Standing 6 ½ to 7 ½ feet tall, goliaths are large, muscular people with pale gray skin covered in darker patterns and dotted with bony growths called lithoderms. Goliath women typically have long black hair, while male goliaths are usually hairless. Goliaths take pride in their body markings, and prefer light clothing that shows off as much skin as possible. Although they are a spartan people, many goliaths wear jewelry such as ear, nose, or brow rings.

Goliaths push themselves to the point of foolhardiness, competing against their clanmates and their own past achievements. Competition is the heart of goliath culture, ranging from friendly games like races and tug-of-war to deadly serious attempts to prove themselves best at combat. Just as important is the concept of a level playing ground, and goliaths look down on other races’ kings and lords who hoard wealth without having earned it. Goliaths who cannot or will not push themselves this way are seen as lazy and useless and face exile. A few such exiles become adventurers; most die in the wild. Few goliaths reach old age. Goliaths can be found in mountain ranges throughout Enderrin’s northern hemisphere, from Nord to Hendar to Chin, but their homeland is thought to be the Mountains and Tundra north of Lake Daasa between the North Kingdoms and the artic. This forbidding range is home to the only known goliath city in the world: Grol-Tan, in the Furgarth Valley. This sprawling tent city’s population fluctuates constantly as nomadic goliath clans come and go, trading dwarven or giant crafted goods and engaging in every conceivable sport and game.
