Here,they face alongside their god Goran the menaceof the calastian empire, and more sinisterthreats from below the Kelder Mountains.

Fenrilik: a few families of mountaindwarves live in Fenrilik. As opposed to otherraces, most of them were there before theDivine War. Dwarves in Fenrilik tend togather in caves near natural warm watersources, though most of them are too small tohold a large community.

Ghelspad: half-elves can be foundthroughout all the continent. Most of themdescend from wood elves, as these form themajority of the continents elves. In the southand in coastal regions, a certain number ofhalf-elves are actually from a forsaken elforigin, as those are in constant struggle torenew their dying race. Drendali do notinteract with humans, so half-drendali areunheard of.

Termana: the number of half-elves inTermana has greatly increased since the DivineWar, as the forsaken elves breed half-elves tostrengthen their race, even kidnapping humansto this effect. In elven countries, most

half-elves are consider as servants, as they areconsidered as disgraceful offsprings. In humancountries, half-elves suffer a similar fate, asthey are seen as the children of rape andviolence.

Asherak: half-elves are quite common onalmost all Asherak, and the half-elf communityis almost half as big as the elfs. Half-elvescompose notably almost one half of thepopulation of the Khaelean Confederation, agathering of Tanil-worshipping city-state, andtheir number is still increasing. Most asherakihalf-elves are of wood elf origin, yet a fewdescend from the nomadic wrack elves.

The Dragon Lands: half-elves were rare inthat continent, as the wood elf clans remainedfor a very long time isolated from the otherraces. This changed since the Divine War, anda few elven clans have initiated contacts withhuman, slowly (but surely) increasing thehalf-elf population on that continent. Allhalf-elves from the Dragon Lands are from awood elf origin.

Fenrilik: there are almost no half-elves onFenrilik, as most of those who came here afterthe Divine War died because of the very coldweather. The only few remaining are of woodelf origin.
