((Race and Class Background Info))

((I'm going to keep this post updated with information on background info for character race and class as our characters get posted on the blog.

Halfling

Halflings are one of those races, it seems, that no matter where you go you'll always find one underfoot. In fact, that's a common saying in the north Oren city of Damara, where the publican of the Northwall Tavern, Jondala Underfoot, raises the only halfling family in the entire city. There are halfling families scattered all over Yuloria, mostly in cities and towns. There is a halfling sherriff (Arrowen Stouthill, Level 5 Paladin) and his family that live in the city of Winterlight, just over the border from Oren into Adragev. They are usually quiet, not stirring up trouble in the human-dominated lands of Yuloria, but they are welcomed by most and despised by few.

Across the short waters to the mainland, however, and halflings are a proud race of plainsfolk. They live in small, clustered villages on the great Plains of Halifax. These societies tend to produce daring fighters, cunning rogues and dangerous barbarians. Due to the recent settling of peace, many halflings are making the trek across the waters to the island of Yuloria in pursuit of the legendary treasures.

Human

Humans are everywhere in Yuloria. They are the dominant race, and as such, they are the most commonly encountered folk on the island.

Druid

There are few druidic orders on the island of Yuloria since the Great War. Most of the druids fled as their forests were burned, and many more died in the attempt to repel the orc invasion in the north. There are still druidic circles on Yuloria itself, but they are few and far between, accepting only those who are the most dedicated to the preservation of nature. They are very exclusive, but journeyman druids are sometimes seen in the more populated areas, cleansing waters and occasionally rising to fight an unnatural evil or an orcish incursion at the Northwall.

There are also many druidic circles on the mainland, and some have been known to cross the waters to reach the island, though few know what their purpose might be.

Once more characters get added, I'll update this post with further information.))
