creatures and races

Although most of the  world's surface is   diverse   and  flowing   with life, most of The Known Realm's  hardworking  inhabitants   never get to see  (or even meet)  a fraction of the unique  souls   that hide within  the  Worldvein's   reach.        
What's  even sadder is that some don't even leave their homelands during their lifetimes, much less step pass the safety   of their lords and kings footholds. So to those who seek their life's  worth beyond white picket fences  and  familiar   faces, here 's a good  starting point down the long road we call life, and the dozens of colorful    faces you'll meet along the way.
Just remember that not everyone you meet with a sweet smile is a friend,  and that   even the grumpiest  hot potatoes are soft on the inside.
