| Elves Of the races that migrated to Philenos, the elves were the most effected by the inert magic in the lands. As they formed there own communities across the lands, the began to change, physically and mentally. Now that thousands of years have gone by since the migration, the elves now appear as a part of the lands they inhabit. There are currently 5 known types of elves. The Monon are the elves of the Mountains, the Granon are the elves of the Plains, and the Silnon are the elves of the forests. The elves that were polluted by the lure of Shaylock are the Draknon, also known as drow. The fifth type of elves are the Hihnon. The Hihnon have resisted the pull of the lands and remain primarily as the race was when it first came to the lands. It is said that it is impossible for the the elves that were changed by the magic of Philenos to ever get lost. Monon (Elves of the Mountains) The Monon are made up of the tribes that settled in the mountains. They are more dexterious and stronger from climbing the rugged mountains and cliffs of Philenos. Their time in solitude has effected there ability to deal with others and the harsh environment in which they survive has turned them more to solving problems physically instead of mentally. There appearance has also changed to reflect there mountain home. Most Monon are of a skin color that matches there mountain homes. Skin of shades of dark brown and grey. There hair is often dark brown or black. Their eyes are normally a shade of brown or grey, but silver and blue are not entirely unknown. Green and gold eyes are very rare among the Monon.

They receive a +2 when using these ranged weapons. *The are also able to cast the spell Know Direction one time per day for every 2 character levels. Granon (Elves of the Plains) Where the Monon took to the rugged mountains, the Granon found their homes on the long, rolling, wind swept plains of Philenos. They tend to be migratory to this day, living in small mobile communities that follow the wild herds of the plains. The scattered tribes of Granon gather periodically to pass on knowledge and trade. They tend to be more free spirited and carefree them some of there brethern. They are very dexterious and like their mountain cousins, they have turned more towards feats of atheletism then mental prowse. They to have changed to match the landscape in which they reside.

They are trained in the use of spears and javelins at an early age and receive a +2 when using them. *The are also able to cast the spell Know Direction one time per day for every 2 character levels Silnon(Elves of the Forest) The Silnon settled the deep woods and forests of Philenos. They are extremely dexterious from there life in the trees. They are not as hardy as there cousins the Granon and the Monon, and there solitary nature leads others to see them as withdrawn. It is also said about them, they if they don't want you to follow them, you won't be able to.

| Others and Special Situations As a majority of the underworld of Philenos is not currently at war with the surface, Goblins, Orcs, and other normally underworld intelligent denizens can be found wandering the surface of Philenos. Many cities and towns have taken the opinion that although they can not be trusted, there gold is still good, so they are tolerated in most of Philenos. The appearance of the Children of the Light has went a long way to show people that not all of these underworld races are evil. There are rumors of a race that is a cross between a unicorn and an elf that have been seen on the Frontiers of Kryst, stats soon to appear here, pending permission of the creator. Special note on Gnomes, no Gnomes have been spotted on Philenos since The Arrival of the standard Character races thousands of years ago. Ocasionally travelers claim to have spotted one of these elusive creatures, but most assume the are nothing more then legend. If you are interested in playing a gnome in one of my campaigns, or you are a DM and want to use Philenos and want to know more about this issue, email me at frobizdarkmage@lycos.com and I will be happy to let you know what is going on. |
