Common Traits of the Race

The First Race

Elves came into being at the dawn of time along with the beasts and the primal gods. For an
age they lived in tranquil peace until the Age of Dragons where the world was ravaged by
these manifestations of Elemental Chaos. At the end of this age the dragons were sealed away
in the newly divided elemental planes, dividing the elemental chaos from which the elves
drew their souls power, and forever dividing their people into those that draw their energy
from fire, water, earth, and air.
For the elves, a central quandary of existence is the dichotomy between the civilized
and the bestial. In death an elvish soul usually returns to the elemental plane from which it
drew its power in life, adding its mana back into the pool for new life to spring. The soul of
the civilized and enlightened will travel into the Dreamtime, a plane created after the age of
dragons to house those souls to whom enlightenment came through suffering. For those who
choose to obey their animal nature, and pay no need to the voice of consciousness, or worse
yet use their consciousness to pervert the natural order, the Nightmare Realm is their souls
destination.
Now, in the 9th Era, the elvish races live in the shadows of their former glory, with
few true elvish cities still standing after many ages. Most live amongst the other races, though
many small elvish communities do still exist, favouring the seclusion favoured by their long
lives, slow reproduction, and the dangerous wilds.

Elvish Traits
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2.
Age. Elves reach adolescent at the age of 33 and become adults by 40. On average an elf will
live about 200 years, though, depending on the strength of soul, an elf can live for many
thousands of years; such individuals will typically ascend of demi-god status rather than pass
away.
Alignment. Most elves are chaotic by their nature, tending towards their animalistic instincts.
However, in many cultures to give way to their animal side is considered an evil taboo that
will lead to the degradation of their soul. Regardless, even these elves prefer to respond to
each instance uniquely based on subjective or aesthetic criteria rather than codes of law.
Size. A newly matured elf stands between 4-5ft tall, but can grow up to 7ft with advanced age
and typically weight  130‒170 lb (59‒77 kg). Lean and thin, with long arms and fingers, large
eyes, and pointed ears. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision: Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark
and dim Conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light,
and in Darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in Darkness, only Shades of
Gray.

Keen Senses: You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Fey Ancestry: You have advantage on Saving Throws against being Charmed, and magic

can’t put you to sleep.

Trance: Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious,

for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating,
you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become
reflexive through years of practice. After Resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a
human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish.
Subrace. There are many subraces of elves in Discus. Choose one.

Sun Elves
The race of elves that draw their energy from the Plane of Fire. These elves value
Consciousness above all else; seeking mastery of the self as a path to all things. Rising to
prominence at the close of the 3rd Era they grew in influence and prestige to possess a mighty
empire, held together through justice and tolerance, that lasted many Ages. Now the empire
and its cities lie in ruin having been sacrificed by the citizens for the good of all elven kind.
The communities of Sun Elves are typically monastic. They are pitch black of skin, white of
hair, with eyes of red, orange, yellow, gold, or blue.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 2.
Fire Elves. You know the cantrip Control Flames.
Wood Elves
Since the 2nd Era the elves that would become the Wood Elves have lived in the shelter of the
World Tree and are the last great elvish civilization on antiquity. Only once has their city
fallen, and it was to the internal rot of hedonism and apathy of the 3rd Era. Since then these
ingenious and creative crafts people have been at the forefront of the arts and magical
sciences of the world. With a strong focus on tradition and the past these elves have spread to
the many forests and jungles of the world. They are pale of skin, with reddish hair, and eyes
of green or brown.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intellect score increases by 1.
Air Elves. Starting at 1st level you can innately cast Mending. At 3rd level you can cast Gust
of Wind; and at 5th level you can Cast Fly: each once a day using Int as the Spell Casting
Modifier.

Sea Elves
Since the 4rd Era the sea elves have lived a maritime existence at the port towns of the other
races of the world. They are usually travellers and sea gypsies with excellent knowledge of
the wider world. They possess precognitive powers of divination, yet are usually distrustful
of their accuracy due to strong cultural trauma resulting from their first and only empire
during the 3rd Era treating crimes foreseen in Divination as a crime already committed. They
are blue of skin, with green hair, and white eyed.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1.
Water Elves. You may swim at the same speed you run and may hold your breath
indefinitely.
Prophet of the Deep. You innately know how to cast the cantrip Guidance.
Port Hopper. You know one additional Language of you Choice. Additionally you have a
solid grasp of the ports of the world.

Merrow
In the 4th Era many Water Elves became lost and disillusioned following the genocides
committed by the Warforged against the mortal races for the divergence from Primus Law,
and the persecution at the hands of their own Government. Feeling a deep distrust for
everything Lawful they turned to the chaotic powers of the deep. Their worship of the
Chaotic Pantheon twisted their bodies into something other as they surrender to their animal
side. They are unpredictable, to other races, forgetting past slights and favours at a moments
notice and shifting allegiances without remorse. They are teal of skin and scaley, with frills
where hair should be, their eyes are generally purple of hue, though may be any colour.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1.
Water Elves. You may swim at the same speed you run and may hold your breath
indefinitely.
Unnatural Swiftness. Your movement speed is increased to 35 feet on land and 40 feet in
water.
Scaley. Your scales provide a natural armour. Add +1 to your AC.
Blood Elves
Following the destruction of the cities in the 4th Era many Water and Earth Elves fled to the
South-westerly swamplands, seeking to hide from the dangers of the world. Here they found
shelter under the protection of three Primal Gods: Bat, Boar, and Boa. Surrendering their
elemental souls to these protector deities, these elves began practicing blood offerings, and
sacrificial rituals to appease the appetites of their new gods. For this they were forever
changed: no longer do they draw their power from the elemental source, but from the blessing
of their gods. Bluish grey of skin, red of hair and nails, with long tusks protruding from the
corner of their mouths, and red eyes.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1.
Variant Choose One:
 Boar. Your maximum Hp is increased by 1hp for each level you have. You may
speak with pigs.
 Boa. By rapidly dislocating and relocating your bones You can move through the
space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours. Additionally, this technique
also gives your advantage or all grapple and restraint checks. You have advantage on
saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.
 Bat. At first level, as an action, you can cause a thin ribbons of blood to erupt from a
creature that you can see within 5 feet and enter your skin. The target must succeed on
a Dexerity saving throw or take 1d8 pericing damage. Healing you for half the
damage dealt. At 3rd level this increases to 2D6 damage; at 5th level to 2D8. This has
no effect on creatures that do no have fresh blood.

Dark Elves
The Earth elves were once a nomadic people of the steps. This all changed in the 7th Era,
where following the devastation wrought by the Vampire King, the archeologist, Khanel,
returned from a Naga citadel and proceeded to comic genocide upon his own people. Over
the next 1000 years he would breed with, then selectively massacre his own kind until they
became underground dwellers know as the Dark Elves. Having achieved Godhood Khanel
retreated into history, leaving his races legacy to tread its own course. They have been
moulded into a cunning and deceitful people, mistrusted by all other races, and yet possessing
such ruthless political cunning as to offset this distrust. They possess a hatred of weakness,
and great ambition. Rather than drawing their power from the elemental earth these wretches
sustain themselves upon necromantic energies of unlife. They are alabaster of skin, with
black hair and cold blue eyes.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 1.
Cruel Cunning. You have proficiency in the Deception Skill.
Superior Darkvision. Your darkvision has a radius of 120 feet.
Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception)
checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to
perceive is in direct sunlight.
Dark Magic. At 3rd level you can cast Faerie Fire once a day; at 5th level you can Cast
Darkness once a day. Use charisma as your spellcasting modifier.

Moon Elves
The Earth Elves, totally destroyed by one of their own, Khanel, progenitors or the Dark
Elves, ceased to exist for a time. However, with Khanel’s retreat for the affairs of the mortal
plane his iron grip on the race has loosened. Some Dark Elves, with the help of the Moon
Goddess and patron of the Earth Elves, Lunachaa. With her blessing, and great mental and
physical fortitude a Dark Elf may starve themselves of the Necromantic energy that sustains
them, and, reattune their nature to the Elemental Earth. They are brown of skin with black
hair and ghostly white eyes.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 1, and your Constitution Score
increases by 1.
Dark Magic. At 3rd level you can cast Moonbeam once a day, using Constitution or Wisdom
as your saving throw.

Feykin
When an elf whose consciousness is strong dies they are reincarnated in the Dreamtime as a
Feykin. With only vague memories of their previous life they are affectively born anew,
though possessing supernatural talents passed on from their prior existence. The Feykin are
often aloof dreamers, obsessive in their tasks, and prone to bouts of daydreaming. Their skin
is a vibrant blue, with white or black hair, and eyes of gold or sliver.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1.
Inherited Talent. You have proficiency in one Martial Weapon of your Choice.
Additionally, you have expertise in one skill you are trained in (Double your proficiency
bonus for this skill).

so when you finish a short or long rest.

Dragonborn
“[Quote from a Book]"

—[Author], [title of book]

Common Traits of the Race

Children of Dragons
In the 2nd Era the first and mothers of all dragons caused unending catastrophe to the world
for thousands of years. Once they had been subdued and imprisoned within the elemental
planes they proceeded to birth the second generation of dragon gods, and from these 10 gods
the rest of dragonkind. Last among dragonkind were the Dragonborn.
Intelligent and strong they travelled from the Elemental Planes into the Prime Plane
during the 3rd Era and built a city the like of which has never been rivalled in all the Eras
before or since, by neither elf, or giant, man, or dwarf. Such was the scale and brilliance of
the city and its magical processes the God of Law Primus saw it as a threat to the cosmic
order and set about its destruction. While all the other civilization of the world fell before
Primus onslaught the Dragonborn megacity stood strong. Indeed, it was not by Primus’ hands
the city fell, but by their own magics did their city fall, leaving naught but shattered mountain
ranges, and the gaping eye of chaos in the heart of the Prime Plane.
Since then the Dragonborn have been divided into the 8 stable elements, each peoples
preferring to stay close to their elemental edge of the Prime Plane. Though their appearance
sometimes frightens the more secluded and backwater people, mistaking them for monsters,
most civilizations know them and the proud and strong people they are.

Black: Knowledge is power. Strength is Power. Subtlety is strength. With proper planning
and application of strength all ones ambitions are made possible. Neutral Evil.
Iron: Nothing is more important than family. Ones own life given for the prosperity of the
house is good. Gather knowledge and strength for the good of ones house. Lawful Neutral.
Gold: The ends justifies the means. To those with knowledge comes power. Power is best
used subtly. Make your enemies goals your goals. Lawful Good.

averaging almost 250 pounds. Your size is Medium.

Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Draconic Ancestry: You have Draconic ancestry. Choose one type of Dragon from

the Draconic Ancestry table. The colour of your scales, as well as your breath weapon and
damage Resistance are determined by the Dragon type, as shown in the table.

Breath Weapon: You can use your action to exhale destructive energy.
Your Draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation.

When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a
saving throw, the type of which is determined by your Draconic ancestry. The DC for this
saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. A creature
takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The
damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.

Rest.

Damage Resistance: You have Resistance to the damage type associated with

your Draconic ancestry.

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to

be one of the oldest Languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds
harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.

Common Traits of the Race

Racial Flavor 1-4

In the 3rd Era, as a counterbalance to the Cosmic Secret creating magic in the world and, by
extension, the creation of the Chaotic realm of Pandemonium, the Cosmic Preserver created
the Primus Mobius, the realm of Order. The first race of this world were extremely simple
beings called Monons. However, they could combine to create more complex beings: two
monos formed a Duon, three Duons a Trion, four Trions a Prion, ect. At the 8th iteration
consciousness is formed, and the Warforged created. This method, was far from perfect, and
with each jump in complexity there existed a greater and greater chance for corruption to set
in, and a greater distance from the voice of law. Thus, each iteration’s combination is treated
with every more scrutiny.
At the close of the 3rd Era the 10th Iteration, the God Primus, set loose the Warforged
onto a world he deemed as corrupted, societies that no longer followed their natural order,
and/or threatened the very existence of the world through their actions. The Warforged were
the squadron leaders of Primus’ forces, used to commit many drastic atrocities upon the races
of the world. However, despite the apparent cruelty and unity of their task, there were many
instances of the Warforged finding kinder alternatives to wholesale slaughter.
Though creatures of order and law, the gift that consciousness gives is to recognise
the subtleties of the world, and the complexities required to keep it in a state of order. Those
Warforged that travel to the prime plane as an individual are somewhat eccentric by their
races standards already. They may be attempting to achieve some goal in the Prime Plane, to
understand it better, or to search for another eight likeminded and compatible Warforged to
ascend to the penultimate expression of their race: the Nuition, who stand just bellow their
God, Primus.

Dwarf
“[Quote from a Book]"

Common Traits of the Race

Stoney Faced
During the 5th Era the First Vampire, Father of Plague, unleased his creations on the world
that would bring an end to the Age of Giants. Among these plagues was the Pox of Stone, a
deadly disease that would turn the body to stone and trap the soul within. At the close of the
5th Era, with the First Vampire repelled back to the Nightmare Realm, the Great Mother made
of these trapped soul a new race. Thus, at the dawning of the 6th Era the Dwarves came into
being.
These were subterranean folk whose commitments and lives were dedicated solely to
Oath and Duty. With extremely strong familial ties and a talent for craftmanship they quickly
rose to equal the recovering domains of elves and dragonborn. However, though committed
to duty, and bound by a promise as if carved into stone, it was their expressionless stony
faces, and total lack of personality beyond Duty and Oath that characterised them to the other
races.
This was to change in the 6th Era with the Creation of the Rock Gnomes by the
Goddess. They were to be the first to brew alcohol. With the introduction of alcohol the
Dwarven peoples cold and stony behaviour was transformed. For a whole month the great
city came to a standstill and fights broke out, grudges were replayed, and the tears expressing
the sorrow of a whole Era of pent up racial strife without outlet were let loose. By the end of
the month each Dwarf kissed all they could lay their hands on, expressing the love for their
clansmen and admiration of their rivals. Ever since alcohol has been the tool by which the
stony dwarf of duty can be transformed into a vibrant and expressive individual who can act
outside of duty and oath.
Dwarves are typically bearded, and are a stocky build. Their hair is usually earthy
colours though may also be blond or reddish, and skin is usually pale but can tan to bronze
colours. Their eyes colour will resemble the hue and sheen of a gemstone.

time you gain a level.

Duergar
Once a proud race of dwarves, years of slavery to mind flayers chiseled any honor or warmth
from them, as the years in the Underdark greyed their skin. They are now a race of slavers,
scavenging any material whether organic, mineral, or sentient, from the depths of the
underdark. Most of them have skin of ashen grey, their hair is usually white, and are almost
always bald including females. After generations of breathing in the air of the Underdark, the

Languages. You can speak and understand Deep Speech. You cannot read or write it.

Dwari-Zharr
Clann-Zharr of the Capital set out to dig deeper than any before. Using the power of bound
Efreets they dug themselves to Hell itself. To save themselves from the legions of demons
they sealed themselves inside a mountain of hell. Trapped, they soon begain to starve. The
hunger gave way to madness. The madness gave way to desperation. And in their
desperation, they gave themselves up to the Efreet, binding their souls, their children’s souls,
their peoples souls for all time. Now a cruel race of sadistic slavers, cursed with the same
wounded fragile pride of the Efreets they once enslaved. They appear much the same as any
other dwarf in their youth, except with charcoal black hair and red eyes; over time the Dwari-
Zharr’s skin begins to crack, the elemental fire within breaking through, charring their skin
black.

Common Traits of the Race

A Sudden and Unexpected Apearance

Gnomes first appeared during the 6th Era, suddenly appearing in different locations across the
world. In the Dwarven Heartland the Rock Gnomes were found by miners; about the World
Tree the Wood Elves found the forest gnomes in the underbrush; it was many years before
the deep gnomes were discovered by astral travellers, on the plane of Pandemonium, as
citizens of the Orphic Egg.
To the Elves this was the age of laughter. The forest gnomes, having a knack for
comedy and the absurd, revitalised the elvish arts that had for too long been left stale by their
tradition. To the Dwarves, this was the Age of Sadness for, with the Rock Gnome invention
of alcohol, they were for the first time in an Era able to express their emotions and
individuality. To the nonsensical creatures of Pandemonium it was the Era of even more
flying cities, as with their arrival the number of flying cities in Pandemonium increased
dramatically.
They are an excitable race, especially when novelty is concerned. Rarely jaded, or
stuck in the past, their honest enthusiasm for all walks of life leave them a diverse people.
Averaging 3 feet in hight, they have a large head and facial feature that take up most of their
face, with large hands with long delicate fingers possessing and extra join. Their eyes and
hair can be any colour.
