The vast majority of intelligent folk in the world are humans, as they were even before the Great Purge in which all the remaining elvish folk and dwarves were slaughtered along with most of the remaining non-humans. The humans themselves live under oppression from those who authorised the purge, the zealot worshipers of the sun-god Tiagarath. Those humanoids that are left live through a variety of lucky or unlucky circumstances: The vampyre has taken hold of the post-apocalyptic south, where darkness holds sway over light and undead stalk the blackened earth.Great packs of werewolves have also risen in the south and spread across the world, the government focusing more attention within than without. In deep caverns and throughout the human world, unbeknownst to almost all of their neighbours, the gargoyles, dark cousins to the elves, keep to themselves to themselves. In the western deserts and on the northern continent the snakelike kartika hold sway, respected by the ruling Tiagarathians for their sun-worship and their strength. The mutants, humanoids scarred by the terrible forces used in the purge, remain throughout the nation, scorned, but not cared about enough to either fix or remove. Finally, a race of clockwork and magical machines, the Labori, have been built in recent times and some have found some of the intelligence the rest of the world seems to have lost, arising as a race within itself.
