Of Diani-e

In the beginning, El (Edor) spake unto the Void, saying, "Py," and N'inu was. Now N'inu was empty, and El longed to fill it. El said unto them that were Him, "Let us create things to fill the N'Inu that we have created. And let our creations be good, in perfection as we have envisioned them." The others that were Him, the Divics of N'Quensysedor answered unto El and said, "Patra, we follow thee in all thy deeds. We shall create these thing to please thy heart, and they shall be good."

Galaxies, stars, nebulae, black holes and planets were the first creations of El after he had created them that were Him. In the First Phase, El created all manner of celestial bodies to fill The Void. By the hand of El, the clockwork of the Universe was set in motion. Then El spake unto them that were Him, and he said unto them, "Logos, thou art the first born of them that were created by my hand; therefore unto thee shall I bestow the power of the Creative Word. Take my Word unto thee, and use it to fill the Universe with all manner of living things, Ianin, beasts that walk on all fours and beasts that walk on two feet, fish, birds and the things that crawl upon their bellies. Do this for me O' Logos the first born of my creation and I shall heap upon thee the blessings that come of obedience. Unto thee Pneuma, I bestow the power to move about through The Void and the power to enact that which Logos has conceived with the Creative Word. Thou shalt be the force of N'Quensysedor."

Now the Ianin were Spirits in Ai. And the Ianin number 144,000 legions of legions.

In the Second Phase, Logos created the surface of the world and everything in the world, and He created the heavens and separated the heavens and the world with a misty firmament. In the Third Phase, Logos breathed Pneuma into the dust of the ground and created seed, and the seed brought forth all manner of leafy plant and fruit bearing plants and trees. In the Fourth Phase, Logos brought forth the fished in the water and the birds in the air. And they did swim and they did fly for the glory of El. Now in the Fifth phase, Logos did create animals and beasts. In the Sixth Phase, Logos did breath life into sentient beings, centaurs, then dryads, nyads, and the other Sentients. And at the close of the last creative phase, Logos breathed life into man. In the Seventh Phase, El rested.

Now El wished that the living creation that Logos had created for him, first the centaurs, then the dryads and the other Sentients could show love unto him. El instructed Logos to separate these creatures from the other animals by planting within them the Seed of Divinity and the Sentients were given the curse of freewill. Now El knew that evil had entered into His creation. For one third of the Ianin had rebelled against El in The Polar Rebellion.

The Dwarves

Duule Mons. Sunless or Dark Ones rebelled against El and were cast out of the mainstream of dwarven society. Sunless Dwarves can be found on the surface, but they prefer the dark places in the bowels of the earth.

Hnoolu Hod. Agreement or Bargain Watchers. The guild of warriors that was formed during the Kin War when the Dulle Mans rebelled. Several found that they enjoyed the art of war and stayed with it. Now the Hnoolu Hod were witness to all Bargains made to protect both parties from foul play or undo influence. The Hnoolu Hod are also the caravan guards, police, army and investigative arm of Dwarven Society.

Gnomes and Halflings

Members of these races only exist on islands across the seas. They would be extremely rare in the world. Perhaps there are only 2-3 shipwrecked members of both races on the entire continent. Gnomes and halflings cannot use magic of any kind.

Humans

Humans have several small kingdoms far to the south. Small groups of humans in the north live with the other races in the north, not having their own kingdoms. Only the elves have not relented to this symbiotic relationship and very few humans are found as permanent residents among the elves. Human characters suffer a -1 to charisma because there are so few of them in the north. Also, humans cannot be magic users of any kind. Otherwise, humans operate as per standard D&D rules.
