Norbayne Character Creation

[Phoenixguard09]

This thread contains most everything of what one might need to create a character to play a campaign in the world of Norbayne.

Let's get started.

Personal Details:
Name:
- An essential part of creating a character in any game, there's a fair bit of material covering the languages and naming conventions of the peoples and cultures of the world.
Age:
- There are five bands of age. Child, Youth, Prime, Ageing and Elderly.
Sex:
Height and weight:
- These only rarely have much of an effect, but sample ranges are provided for each Ancestry.
Eye, hair, skin/fur colour:
- Much the same as height and weight, this is pretty much only for aid in visualising your character. There is/will be artwork which will provide examples.
Birthsign:
- By default this does not mean much, if anything, however these can be used almost as a roleplaying guide for the character. It is intended to help new players grasp the idea of playing a character separate from themselves. Each birthsign comes with a sample 'personality' which can be used as a guide in acting as your character. This is not to say that in acting in opposition to your birthsign, you are acting out of character, but rather to provide a framework for a player to use if they are unsure of how their character may behave. It is entirely up to the individual player as to how they choose to interact with this option.

Eagle: Those born under the sign of the Eagle tend to be born explorers, often going out of their way to take not only the path less travelled, but the more difficult and challenging path too. Because of their high focus on intellectual exploration, many inventors, eccentrics and highly original trailblazers are born under this sign. They can be objective in judgement, and tend to not let their emotions get in the way of the right decision. Outgoing and amiable, Eagles attract friends wherever they go and those whom Eagles befriend have their unswerving loyalty.

Boar: As a credit to those of the Boar and considering their many vulnerable characteristics, they are incredibly adaptable and resilient. As a trend, Boars tend to fantasize about situations and people and because they spend so much time in their own fantasy land, this can catch them unawares in other more worldly areas. Because of this inner world of fantasy, Boars seldom perceive whatever is going on around them in its true light. They see life instead as they want to see it, colouring their view of the world in hues and tones far removed from its true reflection. When at their worst, Boars often become depressed, obsessive and confused and usually feel a need to dream.

Ram: Although they are independent, outgoing and assertive, those born under the sign of the Ram are also surprisingly trusting, often innocently walking into the danger knowing the consequences. They are impulsive and usually act first and ask questions or have doubts later. Rams also love challenges and if everything is running smoothly, they are quite capable of going out and disturbing the balance just for the excitement.

Bull: Underneath their cool, calm and collected exterior, Bulls are usually a maelstrom of pent up energy. They will let others get close, but only so close as they want them. It is for this reason that Bulls are sometimes regarded as withdrawn or even boring. Bulls hate to be put in jeopardy of any kind and this usually leads to Bulls going out making the future happen as they want it, rather than leaving it to fate.

Crow: Those born under the sign of the Crow often have a gift for talking, are talented writers or have a special interest in foreign languages. They are quite gregarious and often feel lonely very easily. The Crow personality can appear mysterious or detached to others and therefore they are often misunderstood and unappreciated for the talents they offer to the world at large.

Stallion: Those born under the sign of the Stallion appear to change and deviate from their usual behaviour with the phases of the moon. Life doesn't stand still for this sign, even if they remain in one place. Most Stallions feel one way one minute, then sometimes totally different the next and often have a need to travel and see new things.

Lion: Those born under the sign of the Lion tend to allow pride to dominate them. Flattery and the good opinions of others seems to be what Lions strive for the most. They are charismatic and positive-thinking and attract an abundance of friends and opportunities. At their worst they are vain, lazy and arrogant, however Lions also tend to be astoundingly loyal.

Hare: There is ingenuity around those born under the Hare, a kind-heartedness, which unfortunately is sometimes played upon by others for their advantage. Despite this, most Hares find cynicism a foreign concept.
Generally creative, Hares are also often delicate and shy, happy to allow others to take the glory but are fully capable of standing up when necessary.

Dragain: Dragains often tend to switch off from the world around them, almost hibernating to come to a decision. As such, many are almost incapable of coming to a decision without this contemplative stage, becoming easily flustered when forced to choose. However, when the proper decision making process is observed, a Dragain is stubborn and will do everything in their power to see it done.

Mhor: Even as children, those born under the sign of the Mhor are often found to be wise beyond their years. As such, most Mhors are winners, known for being tough and resilient. Their attitudes often get them into trouble however, as when they are negative about something or someone, or critical of themselves, they can tend to get in their own way.

Wolf: Trying to tie down these free-spirited individuals is often frustrating for those around them as Wolves are happiest on the move, exploring new cultures and ideas. Freedom loving, optimistic and honest, Wolves are notorious for their lack of tact however they do tend to work well in groups, both as leaders and members of the pack.

Stag: Those born under the sign of the Stag are often patient and persevering. They reach their goals because they know the longest journey commences with a single step and that the first step is always the most difficult. Stags usually rise to the occasion when faced with a deadline, even if something has come to a grinding halt, their ambition to reach the goal keeps them moving forwards. As such they tend to be both hard workers and loyal companions.

Game Details:
Ancestry:
- There are 14 playable Ancestries in Norbayne, each with multiple backgrounds to choose from which will have an effect on your character, providing skills and resources. There are also variant peoples for most of the 14, which provide further customisation.
Primary Class and Level:
- There are 22 playable classes at this stage, most of which are in a reasonably playable state. (Finalised Talent, Combat Manoeuvre, Spell and Major Talent lists are still to be completed, but work is continuing apace)
Secondary Class and Level:
- A character's primary class must always be at least one level higher than their secondary class. Otherwise, the character is free to choose whichever class they like to increase in.

Age Modifiers:
- Child: -20 to Strength, Toughness to a minimum of 10,  and -10 to Speed. -4 Health, +5 to Dexterity and Perception. Take the Small size category and a bonus to Charm members of your Ancestry who would be predisposed to help a child. Reduce Strength and Toughness hard-caps by 40 until character is no longer considered a Child. The game is not exactly designed to facilitate playing as a child, however these modifiers are a suitable guide for GM's creating child NPC's, if stats are required.
- Youth: -10 to Strength, Toughness and Speed. -1 Health, +10 Dexterity, Agility and Perception. At GM's discretion, take the Small size category and a bonus to Charm members of your Ancestry who would be predisposed to help a child, depending on the character's age. Reduce Strength and Toughness hard-caps by 20 until character is no longer considered a Youth.
- Prime: +1 Health at character creation.
- Ageing: -5 to Strength, Toughness and Agility. +5 Willpower. Character gains 5 Advance Points which can be spent on Skills or Talents, but not Stats.
- Elderly: -15 to Strength, Toughness, Agility. -10 to Speed. -5 to Dexterity and Perception. -1 Initiative and Health. +10 to Willpower and Intelligence. Character gains 22 Advance Points which may be spent on Skills or Talents, but not Stats.   

Statistics:
- Strength: Represents physical strength. Has an effect on damage caused in combat. May be increased by 5 for 2 Advance Points every level. Strength is considered a Physical Stat. 

- Toughness: Represents the ability to take a hit and general resilience. May be increased by 5 for 2 Advance Points every level. Toughness is considered a Physical Stat.

- Dexterity: Represents hand-eye coordination and skill with hands. May be increased by 5 for 2 Advance Points every level. Dexterity is considered a Physical Stat.

- Agility: Represents the character's agility and general mobility and athleticism. Is used to dodge attacks. May be increased by 5 for 2 Advance Points every level. Agility is considered a Physical Stat.

- Health: An active tracker of the character's vitality. Health generally increases at a rate of 1 point every 2 Levels, however some Talents and Traits may affect this. Usually when a character's Health hits 0, the character is considered Incapacitated, but some exceptions exist. Also usually, when a character's Health hits -10, the character is considered permanently dead.

- Initiative: Represents the character's reaction times, sense of timing in general and ability to react to violence or other surprising events. May be increased by 1 point for 4 Advance Points every 5 Levels. 

- Willpower: Represents the character's mental fortitude, strength and stubbornness. Is used to deal with daemonic entities. May be increased by 5 points for 2 Advance Points every level. Willpower is considered a Mental Stat. 

- Charisma: Represents the character's force of personality and ability to influence people. Physical appearance is considered to be a part of this, but it is possible to be quite plain and still have high Charisma. May be increased by 5 points for 2 Advance Points every level. Charisma is considered the only Social Stat.

- Perception: Represents the character's ability to perceive things around them and use their senses to search for things. May be increased by 5 points for 2 Advance Points every level. Perception is considered a Mental Stat. .

- Speed: Represents the character's pace when travelling at top speed. Speed starts as a Ancestral Base, but may be increased by 5 yards every 5 Levels for 3 Advance Points each time.

- Intelligence: Represents the character's ability to retain knowledge and learn from their experiences. Intelligence affects how many Advance Points are earned at a level up, in addition to being keyed to a large number of skills. May be increased by 5 points for 2 Advance Points every level. Intelligence is considered a Mental Stat.

- Magic Level: An active tracker of the character's ability to harness magical energies. The higher the character's Magic Level, the more dice the character may use in casting a spell, and the higher level spells may be learned. May be increased by 1 point for 4 Advance Points every 2 Levels. A character's first point in Magic increases their maximum Soulfire by 2 and allows the character to learn at least one free Spell. Every further increase to Magic Level also increases the character's Soulfire by 1.

- Soulfire: An active tracker of the character's sustainable lifeforce which is used to fuel magical effects. There are several effects which will drain Soulfire before eating away Health, and so it is important that all characters have their Soulfire total noted. Characters' Soulfire starts at a Ancestral base, but may increase it by 1 point for 2 Advance Points every level. Increasing Magic Level also increases Soulfire by 1 point.

- Luck: A special system. Each character, unless subject to certain Traits, has a maximum of 6 Luck Points, which may be used to re-roll a Check of some kind. These points are replenished at a slow rate, but are regained by completing story arcs and such. Luck may also be tested against at times or to barter with the Games Master to 'break' the rules.

Skills, Traits, Talents and Major Talents:
- Skills: There are two types of skills, Common Skills and Class-Based Skills. Common Skills are available to any character, regardless of Class, and are present on the character sheet. Class-Based Skills must be written into the spare spots beneath, and are only available to certain classes.

All Skills require a single Advance Point to learn, and in subsequent Levels, the character may receive +10, +15 and +20 rank bonuses to them for the same price.

- Weapon Proficiencies: Every Class has access to a certain number of Weapon Proficiencies. Common weapons are denoted in the Equipment lists, and Proficiency in them is available to every character, regardless of Class. Martial, Specialist Ranged and other weapon families are also denoted in Equipment, and are available to certain Classes as noted below. A rank of Weapon Proficiency costs a single Advance Point to take, until the '*' level, which requires 2 Advance Points, and denoted Mastery in that weapon family. Achieving Mastery in that weapon family provides the character with the Mastery Talent, which provides all number of advantages, whether flat bonuses or unique Combat Manoeuvres.

- Traits: Traits are acquired at the start of the game, and again are split into two types, General Traits and Ancestral Traits. General Traits are available to any character for a price, usually 2 Advance Points at character creation. They usually provide some small bonus or a re-roll to a specific skill once per day. Every character rolls once on the General Trait chart to gain one for free, though a GM and player may work together to pick one Trait to fit a concept a player may have.

Ancestral Traits are available only to that Ancestry, and have a much wider variation in effects and price, from small spells or Talents through to resistances and extra Health. Most Ancestry have mandatory and Optional Ancestral Traits, which are free, and a character may take as many of these as they wish. 

- Talents: Talents are acquired at any level up, and usually cost 2 Advance Points to purchase. Talents provide bonuses or additions to Skills and are the main way a character is customised. Talents are almost always 2 Advance Points to purchase, whether they be a Skill Enhancement, Class Feature, Spell Enhancement or Combat Manoeuvre. 

- Class Rewards: Class Rewards are essentially more impressive Talents. They may be acquired every 5 levels of a single Class, at a rate of a single Class Reward per 5 levels. Unless otherwise specified, Class Rewards are otherwise free.

The Various Ancestries and Peoples of Norbayne and Other Lands
This list is, as yet, pretty much completed. I will be adding to this, and modifying it, for quite some time yet I imagine, but as of right now, we are pretty happy with the total of 12 14 playable Ancestries. 

Midlander
Midlanders are a diverse people, and are found predominantly across Norbayne, although they are prone to travelling, and as such can be found in reasonably significant numbers on every major landmass. They came to Norbayne from distant lands to the east, not long before the fall of the Bovus Empire. They are quite hardy, and very adaptable, and quickly settled all through the Midlands of Norbayne, establishing small, independent kingdoms in the wake of the fall of the mighty empire of the Bosavir. From there, they spread across the known world, coexisting with the indigenous peoples of the southern realms of Unterguardt, forming realms on the northern coasts of Sothbayne and even reaching as far afield as Arlend in the far west.

In appearance, they can vary significantly, with a range of hair colours, from pale blondes, through russets and browns and black. Generally their skin colouration varies according to the climate the individual hails from, with those from the south tending towards darker skin tones and darker hair, and those from the north generally being paler, with brighter hair colours.

The northern realms of Norbayne are home to the Highlanders, though many can be found over the Northern Sea in settlements on the southern coast of Unterguardt. Their cold homes and constant border strife breeds a hardy and tough people. Highlanders are not generally known for their social graces, but their strength and prowess is well regarded. Like all Midlanders, they speak the Common tongue, but with a thick accent, and not a few borrowed words from both the Cainte and Indalt languages. They are generally pale skinned, with either dark or reddish hair.

The multitude of realms covering the plains which stretch from the Neck in the north, to the Dragain's Tail in the south, and from the eaves of the Gwyrai woods in the east all the way to the western coasts, is home to the Lowlanders. These realms, like most Midlander realms, are constantly striving against each other, producing a generally warlike people, with a fond regard and respect for new technologies and magics. The Lowlands are likely the birthplace of the Common tongue, which in itself is a pidgin of the two main languages of the old Bovus Empire, the Cainte of the Wardenfells, the Reord of the Merigund and a multitude of other lesser influences and loan-words. Their skin-tone is varied, and particularly in rural areas to the south, can be quite dark due to the warm sun and outdoor lifestyle.

Hailing from the warm lands to the south of the Dragain's Tail, the Southrons too, are a wide and varied people. Great travellers, Southrons can be found far afield, along the northern coast of Sothbayne and even in settlements throughout the Lemarian archipelago. Perhaps the most striking feature of the Southlands are the Brilliant Towers of Drell, an academy of sorts where people from all over the known world congregate to share and learn the secrets of magic. They too speak the Common tongue, but with more influences from the language of the Bruin and the many languages of the Roanfaille of the far south. Of all the varieties of Midlanders, Southrons tend to have darker skin and hair than others.

After the collapse of the Bovus Empire, many Midlanders travelled west over the ocean, finding the Westrand, and the continent known as Arlend. They settled in those places, and over the centuries have developed their own unique cultures and physical variations. Most Westerlings hail from one of the so-called Three Kingdoms of Arlend, Gyre, Murai and Taeran, though colonies are present all through the Westrand island chain to the south. They speak the Common tongue, but with a thick, somewhat archaic accent. Westerlings tend to be pale of skin and light haired.

Knightly Orders: -3 Advance Pts (Warrior, Duellist or Guardian Only)
On the plains and in the valleys of the Lowlands, heavy cavalry is the king of the battlefield. Orders of warrior kindreds are common throughout the Lowlands. Some, like the Templars of the Everlasting Light, are secular orders, the militant arm of a denomination of the Church. Others are simply the honour guard of the local lords, while others are simply a successful band of mercenaries with a code of honour and the gold required to fight as heavy horsemen. The character gains a single rank of proficiency in one of Common Knowledge (Nobility) or (Religion) and another rank in Common Knowledge (War), a rank of proficiency in the Ride Skill and any Close Combat Attacks made by the character cause +1 Damage when mounted. The character also begins play with a destrier horse, free of charge.

The Taerani woods are constantly patrolled by highly skilled archers and huntsmen. Legend says they can speak to birds and beasts alike. The character gains the Beast Tongue and Eagle's Cry Talents.

Northmann
If the inhabitants of Norbayne to the south are like wolves, those of the continent over the northern ocean, the lands of Unterguardt, can be likened to bears. Taller and broader on average than their erstwhile kin, the Northmenn are as harsh as the lands they call home. The north breeds strong people, and those who are in some way weak, usually die. They are a people not common outside of the lands of Unterguardt, generally preferring the colder climates of the north.

The Northmenn of Unterguardt are regarded as strong fighters, renowned for their uncompromising attitude and their exceptional size. They are tall, almost always making over six feet in height and are broad too at full-growth. Their lands often see little of the sun and so their skin is pale and their hair usually fair in colour and regularly shaggy and unkempt, often developing into a mane of sorts. The males often sport significant body and facial hair, and both sexes display long and thick eye-brows, slightly pointed ears and rather prominent eye-teeth. Most speak a dialect of the Indalt language, and there is little enough variation between dialects that a Hillmann from the far north-east could communicate with an Urskinn from the port-city of Kabysholm on the south-west coast with only a little difficulty.

The many and varied lands to the south of the Blackspine Mountains of Unterguardt are dotted with settlements, established by the Urskinn. Kingdoms regularly rise and fall, as petty kings and thegns emerge and their lands are then picked apart by their rivals. The Northmenn are warlike by nature, their homeland harsh and filled with potential enemies. Infighting amongst Urskinn kingdoms is common, as is conflict with the Hillmenn tribes of the wilds and the many Dwergar kingdoms of the mountains. It is not entirely uncommon to see Urskinn travelling the world, but it is true that they have a preference for colder climes. The Urskinn do not differ significantly in appearance from the Hillmenn, although there is a tendency to not be quite as rough and ready in appearance.

On the edges of settled civilisation in the north, one can find the various tribes of the Hillmenn. Of the same stock as the Urskinn, the Hillmenn are a wild people. Their culture is savage by comparison, and in fact, some parallels can be drawn between their practices and those of the Danann of the Wardenfells. Often found in the hills around the Blackspine Mountains, Hillmenn are not a particularly common sight away from home in the lands to the south.

Small in stature, but often possessed of a subtle magic, they are not to be taken lightly.

The Selkye, the people of the Icebays are excellent hunters, a way of life encouraged by their icy home. Their skills are often put to the test by the monstrous denizens of the cold plains such as the great ice bear and massive mammoths. The majority of Selkye settlements are fishing villages, supported by the catch of the brave ocean-hunters who go out on the dark seas in their tiny vessels so as to bring in hauls of fish.  Shorter and stockier than Midlanders, the Selkye are known for their artistic prowess, the quality of their leatherwork and their complicated language.  They wear their dark hair long and braided and the men often sport outrageous moustaches. While the Selkye are most often found in the north-east of Norbayne, plying their trades in the lands along the coast, they can be found as far abroad as Southreach, on the southern coast of Unterguardt, and all through the northern islands of Norbayne.

To the south, the Woodsmen of the Gwyrai Woods are quite similar to the Selkye of the Icebays due to their shared descent. Generally paler of complexion and perhaps not quite as heavily built, the Woodsmen are a generally slight people, with dark hair and often dark eyes. Since the time of the legendary Seann O'the Woods, a quasi-mythical figure in Woodsmen folklore, they have dwelt within sight of the eaves of the Gwyrai Woods, that extensive deep forest which lies in the shadow of the mighty Wardenfells. Such close proximity to those fabled mountains means a relationship with those who dwell there. In the case of the Leathe, this relationship is a positive one, and the forest villages are often joint, with the Woodsmen dwelling on the ground and the Leathe in the trees overhead. In the case of the Danann however, this relationship is somewhat sour, the Fell Clans given to falling upon Woodsmen villages in the dead of night to drag away for their dark rituals. Many Woodsmen villages exist in a state of near-constant watchfulness, alert to the possibility of the next raid and ready to defend their homes and loved ones with whatever means necessary.

To the west, upon the continent of Arlend, the Einreikr dwell upon the vast grasslands of the Akira. They are reasonably similar in stature and appearance to the other peoples of Fyrst-Dynion stock, with perhaps generally darker skin and a tendency to brighter hair colours. The Einreikr culture is largely nomadic and based around the herds of greater sarveinen, large, horned, deer-like creatures the Einreikr use as beasts of burden, food and sometimes, even as steeds. The Akira is not a safe place to live, and roving herds of the tainted Farasi thunder across the grasslands, spreading fear and misery wherever they roam. The Einreikr ride against them regularly, and for that matter, occasionally against the neighbouring Westerling kingdom of Murai.

Roanfaille
Somewhat similar in appearance to the Midlanders of Norbayne, the Roanfaille were originally native to the southern-most lands of Sothbayne, beyond the vast, inhospitable expanse of the Nizina Kosci, the Plain of Bones, beyond even the Wispaniyali, that massive mountain range which now forms the southern border of the known world. Driven north by some great threat, the Roanfaille eventually settled north of the Plains, on the coasts and on the wide grasslands and steppes. Those closest to the coast developed permanent cities of wood and stone, and while the Roanfaille themselves are nowhere near as abundant as the Midlanders of Norbayne, some of their cities and towns can rival those over the ocean to the north.

They generally possess dark skin, ranging from light brown in hue to nearly black, often with a reddish tone, or sometimes even an almost metallic copper colour. Their hair is usually dark, though it is not uncommon, particularly in coastal communities, for hair to be dyed in all manner of brilliant and exotic colours, and is often worn long by both sexes, with trimmed beards in abundance amongst the men.  Roanfaille culture places great significance in tattoos, with each family or clan having its own symbol which is worn by every member of such. These designs are often intricate and colourful. Tattoos are not the only thing in abundance amongst Roanfaille communities, as each clan tends to have its own language, or at the very least, unique dialect. The Jezyk and Wyraz languages serve as some kind of common tongue between the clans, and most, if not all, Roanfaile know how to speak at least one of them, in addition to their clan language.

The nomadic clans roam the steppes and grasslands. Generally darker of skin than their coastal cousins, the culture of the nomads is dominated by the herds of horses they drive and follow across the wide expanses of their home. Each nomad must be an accomplished rider, and many clans teach their children how to ride before they can even walk. Their lives are hard, competing as they must against other clans of Roanfaille, the often dangerous wildlife of their homeland and roving bands of Ilaena.

Danann
Hailing from the Wardenfells, the majestic mountain range stretching down the eastern coast of Norbayne, the Danann are a people of which not much is known for certain. That they are usually tall, lithe and predatory cannot be refuted, as is the reputation they have amongst the various peoples who dwell in the shadow of the great mountains. The Fell Clans are the worst of these, living in amidst the dark mountain woods, hunting in their territory around their primitive forest villages. Any unlucky enough to fall into their hands are sacrificed to their gods, their blood shed to sate the hunger of Those Who Slumber Beneath.

Many individuals however, are exiled from the mountains, forced to make their way into the Gwyrai Woods beyond the foothills, and from there, perhaps, even further abroad. These exiles are often branded as such, and are usually not permitted back amidst the mountains under pain of death. It is these exiles which are usually seen and interacted with by the other peoples of the world, and it is through these exiles that most have any knowledge of what occurs in Fell Clan society.

The Danann wear their dark hair long, often twining talismans and feathers into the braids to give luck and protection when they hunt. Tall and slender, the Danann are deceptively strong and have keen intelligence and almost preternatural senses. They view the other peoples as their prey, and warfare is a great hunt, one to test the skills of the mightiest of huntsmen. What little is known of their society is mainly through the outcasts who are propelled to seek a life of adventure in other lands. The eastern realms tell of summer nights when the Danann tear through outlying hamlets, seizing terrified villagers to take back to their tall cities  to be brutally sacrificed. These are just tales of course...

Away From The Formoraigh: -3 Advance Pts (Druid or Shaman Only)

Wrothdar
Tall, heavy-set and powerfully built, the Wrothdar are a people of strong and unyielding traditions. Originating in the high mountains of the Deighlas, in past aeons of the world, they spread to various other continents. It is thought that once, their culture was widespread across the known world, but now it has been relegated to a few remote pockets of civilisation, though many would contend that calling it such is overstating matters. This is a simplistic view to take however.

Dwelling in the caves of the high mountains, Wrothdar tribes can be found on all of the main continents of the known world, and rumours persist that colonies can even be found on the Dark Side of the Dividing Range of Varr, though these reports are unsubstantiated. Their numbers, particularly in their ancestral homeland of the northern Deighlas Mountains of Norbayne, never recovered after the fell spirit Maudh bound tainted sidhe to a great number of their folk, forming the Swallowed, a powerful army of twisted and ruined slaves to his will. Those who remain treat the spirits and those who treat with them with great caution and suspicion.

In the south however, the attitudes are vastly different, and are perhaps far closer to those of their original traditions.

The Dunscarth have excellent night vision as befits an underground people, however their heritage is grounds for racial discrimination, with the Greyfolk known as Troglodytes in some areas.

Called Dwarves by many of the peoples of Norbayne, the Dwergar are not overly fond of the other folk of the world, preferring by far to delve further into their mountainous homes. Their love for political intrigue is legendary, as is their lust for gold but above all, their indomitable pride is their greatest blessing and curse rolled into one.

Dwelling predominantly in the Boltmoors and surrounding communities towards the south of Norbayne, the Geardarr, or Hill Dwarves are the descendants of the rebellious slaves who rose up against the Bovus Empire under the revolutionary leader, Thorus Stormhammer. Themselves descended from the long-lost destroyed fastness of Nyjarnverk in the Deighlas Mountains of the north, these slaves united behind their legendary leader, whom they proclaimed as the Raddare, the messianic figure of dwarven lore.

The Alchemist is primarily a support class in combat, able to provide potions and poisons which grant powerful abilities to the party, along with crafting concoctions which can control the battlefield at range. The Alchemist is not a caster class, but can function pretty similarly in battle. The Alchemist is restricted to only wearing light armour and wielding basic weapons. Outside combat the Alchemist is able to build up resources quite quickly due to possessing a few potentially lucrative trade-skills and can function quite well as the party face.

Class Mechanics
- Addiction: Upon drinking an Elixir for the second time in a single day, the Alchemist must make a Willpower Check to resist addiction. If the Check is passed, the Alchemist is unaffected for now, but if it is failed, the Alchemist must mark a failed Check against that Elixir. Upon five failed Checks, the Alchemist is afflicted by the Addiction (Specific Elixir) Malady.
- Alchemy: The Alchemist is not limited to merely creating Potions and Alchemical Items from the pre-written list. An Alchemist player may attempt to create Potions and Alchemical Items using Reagents as determined by cooperation with the Games Master.
- Elixirs: Elixirs are specifically marked Potions which the Alchemist may only make for themselves. When consumed by someone other than the Alchemist, the Elixir inflicts a Toxicity counter and the Nauseated condition.
- Foraging: If in a region conducive to the attempt, the Alchemist may make a Survival (Foraging) Check. Doing so will take at least an hour's uninterrupted time. Foraging is considered to be a Long-Term Basic Task and follows these rules. Refer to the Alchemical Reagent Foraging Charts for results.
- Toxicity: Each Potion or Elixir consumed by the Alchemist incurs a Toxicity counter. A Long Rest or equivalent will remove all Toxicity counters. Upon the Toxicity counters exceeding the Alchemist's Toughness Modifier, the Alchemist must make a Resist Poisons Check every minute, with a -10 for every Toxicity Counter beyond the Alchemist's Toughness Modifier. Failure incurs -1 Poison Damage.

The Artificer is a support class through and through, although thanks to their inventions, can act as a battlefield controller, blaster or ranged striker. The Artificer's roles are restricted merely by the player's ingenuity, as the Invention Skill can be used to create all sorts of things, from grenades to potentially even suits of powered armour. (YMMV) The Artificer is not a caster class, although again, thanks to their Inventions, and also Runecrafting, it is possible for them to act like it. The Artificer is restricted to wearing light armour and may only wield basic weapons, although their Inventions do not count in this, and may of course be used. Outside combat the Artificer will usually have access to a fair few lucrative trade-skills, allowing for great resource acquisition.

The Enchanter is primarily a utility and support class which has the ability to create artifice which lets them perform several different roles on a limited basis. This is achieved through their use of Rune Crafting and Enchanting. While the Enchanter interacts with magic through these, and often channels specific magics while doing so, they are not considered a caster class. The interaction is limited to a purely scientific base, though the use of the wand artifice lets them essentially moonlight as a caster given enough preparation. The Enchanter is restricted to wearing Light armour and may only wield Common weapons, excluding their apparatus. Outside of combat the Enchanter has the ability to create rare and extremely lucrative pieces of magic equipment, though the resource investment and clients in need of such specific artifice can be a challenge in certain regions.

The Lorekeeper is a particularly versatile primary caster class. While not naturally a combat powerhouse, the Lorekeeper is able to provide significant advantages to a party out of combat situations, acting as a repository of knowledge. With access to a vast array of differing magical disciplines, the Lorekeeper is able to access both Arcane and Black Magic, able to choose from the (Petty) Sphere of either denomination, however it is in Lore Magic where the Lorekeeper comes into its own. This enables the Lorekeeper to find and craft their own unique spells.

The Mesmer is a caster class, with access to Petty Magic and the Arcane Magic (Illusion) and (Mental) Spheres. The Mesmer is restricted to wearing only light armour and can only wield basic weapons.

The Shaman is primarily a battlefield control class in combat and does so with the use of Curses. The Shaman is a caster class, able to use Spirit Magic to Dominate Seelie and Unseelie spirits into performing magical effects, providing a great deal of lockdown abilities, some damage and a great deal of negative effects on the battlefield. The Shaman is restricted to wearing light armour and can only wield basic weapons. Outside combat, Common Knowledge (Wilderness) and ability to communicate with spirits and animals makes them excellent scouts, especially in wilderness areas. Shamans are also capable healers, and can even use this ability to obtain resources, though this is time-intensive.

The Warrior is quite versatile, able to act as a ranged striker, a flanker and a primary tank all in the one build. The Warrior is not a caster class, and relies on using Combat Manoeuvres to cause damage, negate damage and apply status effects. The Warrior may wear any armour and wield most weapons. Outside combat, the Warrior is able to utilise a great deal of knowledge based abilities, mainly based around Common and Academic Knowledge related to fighting and tactics in general. The Warrior is one of few classes which can actually provide bonuses to the Command Skill.

The Witch is a Spirit-based primary caster class. The Witch has excellent utility out of combat and quite a few interesting niches to exploit in combat situations, making an excellent Support character. A Witch, like the Shaman, has a significant choice to make as they get stronger, making a pact with one of the two moons, Sehluna and Elladys and the spirits which dwell there. Doing so will grant the Witch even more capabilities. The Witch is a 'feral' casting option, with the ability to create Manifests, Curses and Blessings which harness the creativity of the player themselves.
