===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'.

'''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.

'''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.

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.

'''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.

'''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.

'''Outsider''' (Minor) [-1] as Flaw, Trollkin generally stick with their own tribes and own kind.

'''Size +1''' [1] +1 to Toughness

'''Slow Regeneration''' [3] Trollkin have extraordinary healing abilities. Make a healing check every day (at no penalties) and can regrow or regain the use of a permanently damaged limb in 2d4+1 weeks or a minor appendage like a finger in 1d4 days.

'''Stout''' [2] base Vigor of a d6 and a maximum starting d12+1

'''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.
