Character Races
Diving into the world of Skjaald as a player requires you to decide on a character race. Playable races are mostly divided between two primary categories, the pillars and other races.
The Pillars
The most populous races found throughout Skjaald fall into a category called "The Pillars". Most of the options within this category are applicable to the majority of campaign settings, though some like the Celestial Elf, or True Dragonborn are outliers. You should always check with your DM to make sure the race you want is acceptable for the campaign. You can find the pages for each race within "The Four" below:
Monstrous and Other Races
Races outside of the pillars are often hit or miss as to whether they could belong in a campaign setting. Most of these races come with some sort of in world social implication or risk to playing them. Monstrous races are generally disliked and mistrusted by the various populations of the realms, meaning roleplay and other aspects of interaction with NPCs might have extra challenges. Other races could simply just not fit in a particular part of the world the campaign is in or many other potential reasons. Talk to your DM to find out what the risks, and potentials of these races before setting your mind on one. The pages for monstrous and other races can be found below:
