===COMMON FOLK===
'''Dwarf'''[[File:IK.DwarfRhule.jpg|200px|right]]

Western Immoren has been the home of both men and dwarves since before written history, when only word of mouth and song recorded their deeds. Dwarves or the Rhulic-Folk in their own tongue are short (average around four and a half feet tall) but heavy set (average around 150 lbs.) humanoids with males wearing thick beards from a very young age. They settled in the northern mountains and assembled into a single nation long before Humans had risen from 'barbarism'.

''Starting Languages'': one-half Smarts die (one must be Rhule/Dwarf)


'''Elf, Ios'''[[File:IK.ElfIosan.jpg|200px|right]]

Nearly all of the elves of western Immoren hail from Ios. They are doomed people or so they believed. They live in a solitary kingdom, focusing inwardly on their plight, which is intimately tied to the slow death of their goddess Scyrah, the last of their once mighty pantheon. Iosan elves are tall and thin compared to humans, whom find these fey-folk as attractive and alluring.

''Starting Languages'': one-half Smarts die (one must be Ios/Elf)


'''Elf, Nyss'''[[File:IK.ElfNyss.jpg|200px|right]]

The elusive elves called the Nyss are even more mysterious then their distant Iosan kin. Very little is known of the ‘winter elves’ as they kept to their secrets viciously and see non-Nyss as invaders at best and as non-sentient and unworthy of even life at worst.

'''Agile''' [2] base Agility d6 and maximum starting of d12+1

'''Goblin, Gobber and Borgin''' [[File:IK.GoblinGobber.jpg|200px|right]]

Goblins within the kingdoms are commonly separated into two groups, gobbers and borgin. Gobbers are widespread and a notable wayfaring folk found nearly anywhere humans are found. Borgin are more savage and tend to be tribal in nature who avoid humanity. Gobbers are intelligence and inquisitive and have taken to the technology of humanity.

''Starting Languages'': one-half Smarts (one must be Molgur/Gob)


'''Human'''[[File:IK.Humans.jpg|200px|right]]

The Iron Kingdoms are the lands of humanity, first and foremost. They are by far the most numerous folk in the region, and it is their struggles, wars, and history which have shaped this land. The humans of the Iron Kingdoms are a varied and hardy cross selection of cultures, all arising from ancient tribes of warlike peoples who have lived, loved, fought and died in the region since before recorded history. The bulk of their history is filled with endless strife and battle, and the relative calm of the last few centuries is unusual

'''Ogrun'''[[File:IK.ogrun3.jpg|200px|right]]

Ogrun are easily the largest f the enlightened (civilized?) folk, and while their society may be a bit backward and disorganized by others standards, they live by an inspiring code of honor. Most Ogrun have sworen their allengence to the dwarfs of Rhule but a few wander the southlands.

'''Big''' [-2] Ogrun are around 8 feet tall and weigh around 350 lbs. They suffers a -2 to all checks when using gear not built for their size. Increase the cost of armor, clothing, specialized firearm triggers, etc. by 100% to eliminate penalty.

'''Long Legs''' [1]: base Pace 8

'''Non-Arcane''' [-1] The spark of arcane magic was never granted to Ogrun. They cannot take any Arcane Background: Arcane edge. Also suffer a -1 to all Trait rolls to resist hostile Arcane magic and for others whom try to cast beneficial arcane magic on them (not divine magic).

''Starting Languages'': one-half Smarts die (one must be Molgur/Og)


'''Trollkin'''[[File:IK.Trollkin.jpg|200px|right]]

Savage trolls once roamed across the forests and plains of Western Immoren, but as time passed they assembled into tribes, which branched into clan families, and soon enough started trading and living among others. Trolls come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and eating habits. The latter is perhaps the greatest rationale that sets trollkins apart from other trolls, allowing the other folk of Western Immoren to experience their personalities firsthand without fear of becoming their next meal.

'''Clumsy''' [-2] Trollkin are not known for their grace and they suffer a -1 to Agility trait checks.

'''Heritage''' [2] most Trollkin have Arcane Resistance as a racial trait, but there are a few rare members of the race who start with one Arcane Background (and most are also albinos and are either Fell Callers or Sorcerers). Player’s choice.

'''Ugly''' [-1] as Minor Hindrance. Trollkin share the physical appearance of savage trolls. As such most other races find them unattractive if not monsterous in appearance.

===NEW HINDRANCES===

Unless you spend a Benny, you lose 1d4+2 x 10% of any and all cash any time you are in town or similar place, lost gambling, drinking, giving to charity, etc. You lose this amount every week you are in town or similar place where you can lost it.

===NEW BACKGROUND EDGES===
'''Arcane Background: Arcane (Arcane Mechanik)''' [Novice, Smarts d6+, Arcane Mechanik d6+, Science d4+]: Some wizards focus their knowledge into creating Mechanik items. This uses a slightly updated version of Weird Science (SWAE pg. 148) and Arcane Devices (SWAE pg. 153). But you can also know and cast like Wizard spell casters. Casting a Spell by an Arcane Mechanik requires a Full Round (no Pace, no Multi-Actions allowed) and cost 1 additional Power Point to cast and to maintain. You also suffer a penalty to spellcasting equal to the armor points you are wearing (see Wizards). You must have one hand free (or carrying an arcane focus in one hand) and be able to speak clearly to cast spell this way. When using a mechanika device (ala a Arcane Device, etc.) they can wear any armor they want without penalties and don't require an arcane focus or need to speak. They simply use the device as one normally would (so an arcane device with the Blast power probably looks like a pistol and must be pointed at targets, etc.). Only dwarves, gobber and humans may normally be Arcane Mechaniks.

[[File:IK.ArcaneMech.jpg|200px|right]]''SPELL NOTES''
: *- New Spell. See Magic.
:† - This power requires you to pick an Elemental Trapping. See Magic. Or use the trapping listed under that power (like some powers listed under specific arcane backgrounds).
:‡ - See Magic for update on this spell as it has changed.
:! - For +1 Power Points the caster deals Holy or Daylight effects.

'''Familiar''' [Novice, Arcane Background (Arcane), Spell casting skill must be d10+)]: the character has acquired an animal familiar. The creature gained is a dove, raven, cat, frog, small dog, nonpoisonous snake, etc. The mage and the familiar acquire the Loyal Hindrance with regard to each other. The familiar is not a slave, however, and can refuse to follow orders, especially ones which will cause it harm. Unless ordered otherwise, the familiar follows its natural instincts. For example, a cat familiar may stop to chase a mouse, take a quick nap, or sate its curiosity about a small hole, and it’s likely to hide during combat. The strong bond allows the familiar to resist the effects of beast friend. Both can understand each other’s speech. To others, the familiar is simply making animal noises — the mage speaks his normal language. The familiar is a Wild Card with respect to wounds and the Wild Die, but has no bennies. The mage may spend his for the familiar, however. The first time the mage takes this Edge it gains one of the powers below. Each additional time this Edge is taken, the mage can pick two of the powers below and the familiar gains +1 to its Toughness score. Each power may only be taken once. The mage may take this Edge only once each Rank.
*The mage can transfer wounds and Fatigue levels to or from his familiar as a free action.
*The mage may increase one attribute of his choice by one die, to a maximum of d12.
*The mage can use the familiar’s senses as if they were his own. This requires concentration. The maximum range for this ability is the mage’s Smarts x 100 yards.
*The familiar can use the mage’s Combat Edges as its own.
*Any spells the mage casts on himself also affect the familiar. If he casts protetion with a raise, both he and his familiar gain +4 Armor for the duration, for example.
*The familiar has 10 Power Points, which the mage may use as if they were his own. They recharge at the same rate as the mage’s (usually 5 per hour with rest).
*The mage can cast any spell through the familiar, using it as the starting point of the effect (thus extending range, etc.)
*The familiar acts as an arcane focus and grants the cast a +1 to her casting kill if within 10” (20yards).
