Humanoids

in Creatures

Humanoids are the main peoples of a fantasy gaming world, both civilized and savage, including humans and a tremendous variety of other species. They have language and culture, few if any innate magical abilities (though most humanoids can learn spellcasting), and a bipedal form. The most common humanoid races are the ones most suitable as player characters: humans, dwarves, elves, and halflings. Almost as numerous but far more savage and brutal, and almost uniformly evil, are the races of goblinoids (goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears), orcs, gnolls, lizardfolk, and kobolds.

Melyria is a custom roleplay setting made to work with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition by Tiirikka and friends.
Melyria draws is inspiration from several Dungeons & Dragons settings and their lore, mainly from Forgotten Realms.
Dungeons & Dragons belong to Wizards of the Coast and I claim no ownership of it.
Melyria and it's quirks belong to me and getting inspired is very much allowed and credits appreciated!
