Human:


The human's of Intera occupy the eastern edge of the western continent. This land is mostly rolling hills and flat planes with many rivers, streams, and lakes. The majority of humans are ruled by seven 'princes' each with their own domains. The kingdoms they rule share their surnames and in cases where a prince dies without an heir (of whatever gender) the other princes elect a candidate who is given the land's surname.

The current rulers are:

Thurstan Garsey: He is a tall man with long arms and and an inexpressive face. He is completely bald and always neatly dressed in shades of gray which make his whiskey-colored eyes look even more remarkable. This man comes across unemotional and perhaps a bit uncaring about anything.  He has little sympathy for those in plight, perceiving that they should simply try to deal with their own problems themselves. His quests are largely about monsters plaguing his kingdom, not about incidental problems plaguing the populace.

Paige Ratherham: Pink is her favorite color, and she is always wearing some of it. It draws the strawberry out of her blonde hair. She has blue eyes and a likable disposition. She cares about herself and her status more than anything else; protecting her reputation above everything. Her quests are largely about forging new diplomatic relations with other races and princedoms.

Will Kincardine: The youngest of the council members, Will is only eighteen. He has bright green eyes and a warm sunny disposition. He has brown hair, but he dyes the tips blonde. The laws of the land are important to him, but so too is protecting his people as a whole. He is often described as kind and caring. Most of his quests are varied in nature.

Dala Ormskirk: She's notably short, and despite her young age she has a grandmotherly disposition. She has red hair with an odd white patch off to one side, and gray eyes that look colorless in the right lighting. She isn't as strict about enforcing the laws as some princes, and often shows leniency towards those that break it. This only makes her people love her all the more. Her quests are often redemption stories about taking a nare-do-well out to pay off his crimes by fighting off monsters.

Engelesia Whimborn: An older, stately woman with her hair pulled back into a complicated updo, she is often wearing the formal robes of her office. She is always neat and orderly. She is most concerned with upholding the laws of her kingdom, and thus most of her quests are about capturing brigands, robbers, and other such unwelcome guests to her princedom.

Sigeric Westwood: The oldest of the council members Sigeric doesn't look it save his pure white hair. He's still a handsome man that is very charismatic. Once known for his staunch rules Sigeric has been getting more and more lenient over the years. His quests are a mix of redemption stories, and fighting various monsters for his princedom.

Noth Berkinsale: Blonde haired and blue eyed he is a charming man with a muscular build gained from years of fencing. His familial crest is a blue hammer and it always adorns his somewhat foppish attire. He is a wildly unpredictable individual and his people are not well treated by him. His quests are largely diplomatic in nature, to help him gain respect from neighboring princedoms and races.

Elf


Elves inhabit the eastern/north-eastern section of the eastern continent. This land is mostly forest and mountainous. The majority of elves are ruled by three separate democratic monarchies where a leader is elected by the people to rule for the length of their lives. As elves are long-lived there are rarely elections.

The current rulers are:

Ruvaen Naenan of Ashborn: He has long black hair, and piercing god eyes. He has pale skin, and is quite small in stature. It is said by his subjects that he can read minds, and he is a powerful druid who is able to transform himself into a raven at will. He is a fair ruler, but one that believes in the law of the land more than the law of the book. His quests are usually about purifying his lands of unnatural elements.

Elas Haemir of Shadowfen: He has short blonde hair and green eyes. He is tall for an elf, and has a commanding presence. Elas is the oldest of the rulers, and it shows in his bearing. He is a stern unforgiving sort, and most of his quests are about apprehending those that have broken his laws.

Symania Ulayra of Vreadon: She has pure obsidian skin and hair like a rainbow shining at night. She is a spellbinding woman with a sharp wit. She cares about her people more than her forests, and protects them fiercely. Most of her quests are about purifying her lands or defeating monsters which plague them.

Dwarf

Dwarves of Intera occupy the middle region of the eastern continent to the north. This land is completely mountainous. They are ruled by two separate hereditary monarchies and a ruling council of elders beneath that.

The current rulers are:

Durnath Battlebrand of Drakerest: Short even for a dwarf, Durnath has black hair and dark eyes. He is still in spite of his years lacking in any gray, but the wisdom of these years shows in his eyes. What also shows are the years of combat training that he has undergone. He is a forward-thinking dwarf, however progress moves slowly in spite of him. He trades a great deal with the Exuterans in the hopes that they will rub off on his people. Most of his quests are about furthering that goal.

Jatrum Hammerfury of Skyborne: A harsh scar marks the lower right part of Jatrum's face from jaw to lip. He has red hair and an auburn beard beginning to show streaks of white. He is well-built and huge for a dwarf. Enough so that his people whisper that he might be part-giant. He's a harsh taskmaster, and he rules with an iron fist. there's no pity for those who run afoul of the law or his temper. His quests are largely to capture those that break his laws in one way or another.

Goblin

The goblins of Intera inhabit the central section of the eastern continent. This land is largely jungle and a harsh environment to grow up in. The goblins have many small villages run by local mayors, and have a singular city which is ruled by one they consider to be chosen by the divine.

Their current ruler is:

Ekt Trihakx of Lanthurm: Green-skinned and brown-eyed he ahs black hair and many scars from his hunting days that he wears proudly. He is of average size for a goblin, and is often wearing many bits of debris of Exuterian technology. He is always worried about his people, and he works hard for them. Often he goes out hunting the jungles himself to keep himself sharp and kill off monsters that might plague his city. He can be randomly found outside the city in this venture. Thus most of his quests are for adventurers to go out and kill monsters 'like him'.

Orc

Orcs call the north-eastern most portion of the eastern continent home. This land is mostly plains, and cold plains at that. Very little lives out there that's friendly. The orcs are divided into thirteen clans, but they fight among one another so often that their rulers are constantly changing - as is the number of clans. While they might one day band together to create a formidable force, for now they live warring with one another.

Their quests are often ones to go hunting and gathering for food, or to help drive off monsters for various clans.

Dae'u

Dae'u call the north-western section of the eastern continent home. With it's placement so close to the pole it is a freezing wasteland where only the strongest and strangest survive - and the dae'u themselves. They once were a wandering group mingling with the other races without a homeland of their own, but that changed thanks to a demilich necromancer. He now rules them.

Natu Vispir of Requiem: He is a gaunt man with long white hair and glowing yellow eyes. He is always wearing the same black robes, and is usually found holding a book. Vispir is usually found in attendance to those wishing to bring their loved ones back as dae'u since he as a necromancer can bring them back to half-life. His quests are largely to gather unique and dangerous items, plants, or specimens to be used in research.

Lamian

Lamians call the north-eastern section of the western continent home. This land is dry and arid plains, or outright desert in some places. They are a nomadic people, but unlike some nomadic races they have a central government that meets once a year on a sacred site. This site is known as the Moon Pools among other things..

Sabrione of Sanctuary: A beautiful snake-woman with short black hair that is shaved on one side and braided down the other. She has many battle scars that cover her ebony skin and slightly pointed ears. Black scales cover what can be seen of her arms and the backs of her hands. She's a bit bitter, mostly about the fact that her people are homeless wanderers. She wants for them to have homes of their own that last, but she's accepting of the fact that things are unlikely to change in her lifetime. She's not above putting down a fight with her own two hands if it comes down to it. Her quests are usually hunting and gathering quests, or quests to further the relationship with the neighboring human princedoms which have become tense of late.

Exutera


Exuterian's inhabit the southernmost section of the eastern continent. This land would be cold and largely uninhabitable if not for the technology which the exuteran's possess. They've used said technology to provide themselves with comfortable living spaces. Exuteran's are ruled by a 'ruling class' that is assigned at birth. The ruling class elects a leader every year. Sometimes the same ruler for years on end, sometimes changing to a new one. Sometimes going back to an old one. This ruler undergoes rigorous testing for emotional and mental fitness before taking up rulership each time. Their capital city which makes up their country has no name.

The current ruler is:

Ungrean Kakszen Zo'Nihlos: This man is uncomfortably tall, easily eight feet in height and rail-thin. He has dark eyes and is usually wearing gray clothing that is nearly the same color as his gray skin. He is a firm ruler like nearly all exuterian's that take up the mantle, and most of his quests consist of capturing those outsiders that break his laws or cementing diplomatic ties to other nations.

*Purchasable*

Merfolk

Merfolk inhabit the ocean floor across the whole of Intera. However their capital is actually in the center of the world. Theirs is a world which is either chillingly cold or steaming hot depending on the location of the lava vents along the ocean floor. Though the Merfolk reside mostly in the deepest parts of the ocean, recent times have led them to finally reveal themselves to the rest of the world at large, and open their cities to trade. They are ruled by a solitary king from their capital city.

Their current ruler is:

Aeshaneh of Eathelin: This man is quite large in size, and while in some ways he looks quite human in others he resembles nothing quite so much as a giant seahorse. He has black eyes and is striped orange and white from head to curling tail. He has two horns that rise from his orangish red hair, but has the arms and torso of a more human-like being. He is considered quite handsome by his people, and is something of an overly indulgent ruler. He is the first in his long line to consider revealing his people to the outside world, but believes whole-heartedly that they are ready.
