The idea is that this is a game of WotC's Dungeons and Dragons v3.5 with house rules,[http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Greyhawk_Poland_2011_Campaign#References] which it is set in a world of my own fabrication, designed by cherry picking socio-economic and political elements from a game supplement entitled The World of Greyhawk published 30 years ago for TSR's Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 1st edition. | The idea is that this is a game of WotC's Dungeons and Dragons v3.5 with house rules,[http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Greyhawk_Poland_2011_Campaign#References] which it is set in a world of my own fabrication, designed by cherry picking socio-economic and political elements from a game supplement entitled The World of Greyhawk published 30 years ago for TSR's Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 1st edition. | ||

In a recent survey on racial attitudes, the inhabitants of Flanaess were asked the question, ''''"On a scale from 1 - 10, where 1 is the lowest ranking and 10 is the highest ranking, how highly do you rank your fellow inhabitants of Flanaess?"'''' Based on survey size, results are accurate within a margin of 0.001% error 19.75 times out of 20. Human sampling includes subgroups from every country in Flanaess. Each demi-human race considered without subgroupings. | In a recent survey on racial attitudes, the inhabitants of Flanaess were asked the question, ''''"On a scale from 1 - 10, where 1 is the lowest ranking and 10 is the highest ranking, how highly do you rank your fellow inhabitants of Flanaess?"''''

+ | ==Races Available for Player Characters== | ||
+ | Humans are more highly favoured to play and are given preference to any other race in the Flanaess. | ||
+ | Monsters, Orcs and Half-Orcs are definitely not player character types. These are hunted and unwelcome within the Flanaess. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Half-Orcs''', those produced from the union of a Human female and an Orc male, are commonly the by-product of the rape of the human slave after the Orc has raided a Human settlement. Orcs capture females as sex slaves and are a mark of status within the Orc Tribe. These slaves are savagely and viciously maltreated and have a status beneath Orc females. Half-Orcs bred by the Orc Tribe inherit some Human advantages for the Orc such as increased size, emotional retardation and (some) higher intellect and are, therefore, considered more deadly shock troops - sent in the first waves of attacks against Orc enemies. Half-Orcs enjoy a higher status within an Orc society due to their ability to brutalize the smaller Orcs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Any Half-Orc born within a Human settlement is quickly strangled at birth, sometimes forcably over the objections of its unwed/unwanted mother and by whomever is the local leader. Half-Orc offspring are a mark of shame to the mother's family and a danger to the entire community. They are highly likely to be mistreated outsiders; have an evil predisposition; and will have plenty of reason to enact revenge upon the world. Infancide is actually a blessing to a Half-Orc born outside an Orc society. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some Half-Orcs do survive because they were born and lived alone (with their mothers) in seclusion. Their very survival means they have had no interaction with anyone outside their mother, and they do not seek out such interaction. A lonely Half-Orc will logically seek out other Orcs because of the status it will enjoy until a bigger and meaner Half-Orc challenges it. Such is its nature. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===Dwarven=== | ||
+ | Dwarves represent 10% of the total polpulation of The Flanaess. | ||
+ | Dwarves typically dwell in hilly or mountainous regions. | ||
+ | Mountain dwarves | ||
+ | |||
+ | A character of the dwarven race can be a Barbarian, a fighter - 9th - or a Thief | ||
+ | |||
+ | Because of their very nature, Dwarves are non-magical and do not ever use magical spells. However, this nature gives them a bonus with regard to their savings throws against magic = + constitution ability score bonus | ||

+ | |||
+ | ====Half-Elven==== | ||
+ | More Elven than Human, and more despised than Humans by Elves for a perceived parental slight on the customs and ores of Elven folk. Elves believe in the separation of the races and Half-Elves, often given the derogatory term "Half-lings" in their Elven nation, are the lowest of the low. | ||

+ | Halflings represent 3% of the total population of The Flanaess. SOMETHING ABOUT HOBBIT. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===Human=== | ||
+ | Humans represent 80% of the total population of The Flannesse. | ||
+ | Unlike the other races, Humans are not a unified race. They break along many cultural and political divides throughout the world perhaps due to their greater numbers than with the other races of Mankind. More apt to war amongst themselves than with other races, Humans fight for land space and the expansion of resource wealth. In all The Flannesse, Humans are the most interested in the control of a wealth supply than any of the other races. | ||
