===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.

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.

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

[[File:IK.Trollkin.jpg|200px|thumb|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.

===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.

'''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 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.

Elves are the only folks that practice and understand the process of the ancient art of crafting traditional magical items one would find in your typical fantasy setting. Divine spellcasters also use this method but only rarely in the Iron Kingdoms. This process often takes years though and only the long lived and patient people could ever master it. Humans and most other races use Mechanikal devices which are much faster, cheaper  and easier to create. This form of magic runs on arcane batteries or turbines but things like steamjacks also require coal or another energy source to help power them.

Anyone with an Arcane Background (Arcane Magic) and the Mechanika skill can create the following, depending on their rank. An arcane casters knows ½ her Meckanika skill in batteries and/or plate types (and/or Steamjacks, see Steamjacks below). They learn a new one whenever they raise their skill and can also through studying a formula. This takes 4 days per Rank (Novice 4, days, Seasoned 8 days, etc.) of complete devoted study, generally in a Mechankia Workshop or Library. The basic cost of a mechanika formula is 150 copper for a Novice, 500 copper for a Seasoned, 1,000 copper for a Veteran, 2,500 copper for a Heroic and 15,000 copper for a Legendary. Characters cannot learn formula compounds of a higher rank then they are.

Critical Failure always destroys all the material and may deal 1d6 x50 copper of damage to the Workshop per Rank (2d6 for Seasoned, etc.). A crafter can gain the aid of non-Arcane mechanika craftsmen to lower the time require. One skilled mechanika will reduce the time to 6/days per Rank, two skilled mechanika reduce the time to 5/days per rank and four or more skilled mechanika reduce the time to 4/days per rank. Generally Min Skill of Mechanika d6 earn around 246cp a week (or 35cp a day).

[[File:IK.SteamJack.jpg|400px|left]]Within the Iron Kingdoms setting the Steamjack or iron and steel semi-sentient constructs that run on coal and magic, are incredibly important in many aspects of life. Many are used as loaders, haulers and moves in urban areas especially on the docks and in the heavy industrial industries. They are also employed on the battlefield. Not as heavily as the troopers themselves but even mercenary armies often have one or two in their arsenal. Steamjacks are semi-sentient and recognize their owners (based on their Smarts and how new they are). The respond to voice commands, depending on how complex. They have the effect of the Loyal Hindrance and Vow (Major, follow masters commands) Hindrances and act on the same initiative as their controller. Over time as they “grow” they can develop new Hindrances and personality quirks which is why they are occasional memory wiped. This resets them to their basic model standards (losing any acquired traits that they gain naturally but it makes them easier to deal with). Memory wiping requires a deactivated steamjack and a successful separate Repair and Science skill checks and 1d4 hours of work.

For simplicity Steamjacks are based on Robots from the '''''Science Fiction Companion''''' (pg. 36-38) except they run on Coal instead of Energy. A basic unarmored Jacks requires 10lbs of Coal per hour at Size 1 (minimum size) and an additional +10lbs of Coal an hour for each additional Size over this (see below). A standard Jack has a Coal Hopper feed for 3 hours worth of Coal it burns an hour. Certain modifiers add so much weigh to the Jack that it requires extra coal to burn. See Mods for examples but these also automatically increase the Hooper Size. Note that the Coal Hobber and Tools and Weapons carried count towards the Jack Encumbarnce.
 
 
 
The base Jack costs 5,000cp (20,000cp if Wild Card) and can have up to 5 points of Jack Modifiers. It has 5 attribute Trait points and 15 skill points. Jacks also have a Base Pace of 4 (Run d3+1) and all have a Minimum starting Size of 1 (and +1 to Toughness and +1 step to Strength). Each attribute point and/or every two skill points that are dropped decrease the cost by 500cp (minimum cost 1,500cp) and add one additional Mod slot. Jacks are automatically Constructs and have Environmental Weakness (Water) meaning they can be shut down if immersed in water and take +4 damage from water based attacks.
 
  
Due of their basic construction, non-Heavy weapons do not apply their Armor Penetration to Steamjack armor even if they can still deal damage to it. Heavy Armor still requires Heavy Weapons to damage it. Also Jacks can Carry (load) +1 Step based on their Strength (+2 with the Brawny Edge). For Strength over a d12 add +30lbs to the base total per +1 (i.e. d12+1 can carrying 150lbs, d12+2 can carry 180lbs, etc.)

For simplicity Steamjacks are based on Robots from the '''''Science Fiction Companion''''' (pg. 36-38) except they run on Coal instead of Energy. For base unarmed Jacks requires 10lbs of Coal per hour at Size 0 (minimum size) and +10lbs of Coal an hour for each additional Size. Certain modifiers add so much weigh to the Jack that it requires extra coal to burn. See Mods for examples. The base Jack costs 4,000cp (20,000cp if Wild Card) and can hold up to 5 points of Robotic Modifiers. It has 5 attribute Trait points and 15 skill points. Jacks also have a Base Pace of 4 (Run d3+1). Each attribute point and every two skill points can be dropped for a 500cp discount (minimum cost 1,500cp) and one additional Mod slot. Jacks are automatically Constructs and have Environmental Weakness (Water) meaning they can be shut down if immersed in water and take +4 damage from water based attacks.
  
Steamjacks come in three basic Size catigories (not so much SWAE size): Light Jacks range from Size 1-2, Medium Jacks are Size 3-4 and Large Jacks are Size 5-6.
+
Anyone with an Arcane Background (Arcane) with the Mechanika skill and a Formula can attempt to craft and create them but this requires Veteran Rank, and 2d4 weeks of construction in a Steamjack Warehouse +1d4 week per Size over 0 and Modification. Cost in raw materials is ½ the base cost. A Critical Fumble on this skill check causes a lost all base materials and a possible 1d20 x 100cp in damage to the Workshop.  
  
As with Rune-Plating Magical creation anyone with an Arcane Background (Arcane) and the Mechanika skill can learn to craft a Jack. This requires the crafter to be of Veteran rank and counts as one of the Mechanika creations (see above) and they a Formula for the specific Jack size and type (typically costs 1,000cp x Size. A Combat Codex requires a seperate Foruma that costs 1,500cp). Basic construction requires a Jack Workshop and 4 weeks for a Light Jack, 6 weeks for a Medium Jack or 8 weeks for Large Jacks. Also add +2 days for every Mod added. Cost in raw materials is ½ the base Jack's cost. A Critical Fumble on this skill check causes a lost all base materials and a possible 1d20 x 100cp in damage to the Workshop. The creator/crafter can be aided by non-Arcane Mechaniks. One additional worker drops contruction time by 1 week. Two workers drop the time by 2 weeks (mininum 1 week). Four additional workers drop the time by 4 weeks (minimum 1 week). Finally eight additional workers will drop the time by 6 weeks (minimum 1 week). Workers of course except to be paid. Generally Min Skill of Mechanika d6 earn around 246cp a week (or 35cp a day).

Because of their basic construction Jacks non-Heavy weapons do not apply their Armor Penetration to Steamjack armor even if they can still deal damage to it. Heavy Armor still requires Heavy Weapons to damage it.
