The Races of Maxedonia

 


There are several sentient races on the world of Maxedonia. The smallest of them are the Gnomes, around half the height of an Elf they are individually weak and cowardly but in numbers they have a massive advantage. The Elves of Maxedonia are basically just humans. No pointy ears or inherent magic ability. I feel this is an overused trope in creatures with the name elf. Also they aren't a bunch of pansy tree huggers either, they are an industrial steam driven imperialistic people with a desire to see all of Maxedonia under their command. Basically the British empire.

Trolls on the other hand are far more primitive minded. A few might carry black powder weapons but they are far more comfortable with crossbows and longswords. Trolls ARE inherently magical but my magic system will likely be more fairy-tale esque and not "harry potter" or "midichlorian BS" systems of spellcasting. Don't expect trolls to be lifting objects with their mind or hurling lightning bolts at each other. Magic is something given only by the gods and can never be bent to the will of a single person no matter how many times they insist they are a Witch.

Giants are, well giant. Big people basically, not much more to it than that other than the fact they are literally descended from a dark god who created the first Darkspawn. Most people do not know or judge the modern giants by this fact as it was a heroic giant who sealed said god in the underworld.

 The Slime Empire is a small but expanding dominion of assorted half sentient blobular amoeba which slither and creep. Their Empire is a collection of small airless planetoids orbiting a massive and impossibly large slimluoid with a star trapped inside it's  gelatinous body acting as both it's nucleus and it's source of eternal energy. This is called the Redsun Starslime in the Sky The most commonly seen of the Slime Empire's army are the Red Slimes. These are bloody hued, aggressive and unacceptably fast. They will jump onto their foes and dissolve them with their vile, jellyflesh. The second most common are the Green Slimes, they are expert ranged attackers and can spit acid across quite a long distance. There are also the Ochre Slimes, which are larger and more matured Red or Green Slimes which are slower but very durable and will usually act as bodyguards to their commanders. The Dreaded Psylime! These bubbling Pinkupods smell sickly sweet and can use Psychic attack...

With InterGard gone and much of the Wiggerverse in ruins a new power arises to conquer the stars once more. The robotic metalclones, called The Caste are spreading their influence across creation. However they are not uncontested, an alliance of several distinct rival hiveminds have arisen to destroy the threat posed by the merciless Caste.The first two of these hiveminds were once a single entity called Jin, now it is split into two warring factions, the Firebloods and the Darkspawn. Despite their difference they have temporarily put aside past grievances to combat the Caste. Fireblood clones are, like most clone races descended from InterGard battleclones, they have a shimmering visage but are still formed from the same GANIC cloneflesh that almost all clones are made from. Darkspawn Clones are again, descendants of InterGard clones however they are tainted with Demon Blood which has twisted them into half spectral beings, Darkspawn's Hivemind is almost bestial in it's method...
