Meara--Destiny's Necklace

Dwarves delve deep into the earth, producing ore to turn into gorgeous smith-work. They are aided in their labor by tall shining figures of brass and stone, lamp-like crystal eyes lighting the darkness, chained by their creators in the dark.
Elves and Goblins cavort in the sky, sustaining themselves on and around the flying islands that gently circle the world, flying with the aid of magic, or by the power of preposterous contraptions of wood, leather and cloth.
Halflings, Gnomes and anthropomorphic animals of many sorts roam the surface, farming, hunting, or living in cautious harmony with the wild.
Clans of Orc nomads ride their horses or dire wolves across endless steppes, tending their herds, playing at war with each other, occasionally assaulting encroaching settlements with all the fierceness at their command.
Rainbow colored families of Kobolds, accompanied by the occasional Dragonborn grandparent, study, play and sing in the streets of a mountain city.
