Monsterous Races

Revision as of 21:48, 7 July 2017

Some monsterous species are generally more primitive, xenophobic, territorial, or even war-like than the "smooth skins" (dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, and humans). But most have distinctive cultures and ethics far more sophisticated than merely "serving chaos" or an insatiable appetite for destruction and conquest. Notably, some Republican states are tribes or kingdoms of one or more of the "greenskins" (goblins, hobgoblins, orcs, and bugbears).

Many smooth skins are prejudiced against goblinoids and other monstrous sentient species. But during the Bloodstone War both militaries treated goblinoid soldiers as they would any other combatants. Some goblinoids and half-goblinoids have even reached the same renown as individuals from other species in the areas of military leadership, crafting, art, and philosophy.
