It sounds pretty cool. I'm not sure about the ribs. It does seem like it would make an under-armor of sorts. I like the cannibalism. I've got a lizard-folk species that does a similar thing only it's communal. Orcs being elves and humans fused is something I don't think I've seen before...

I've based some on real world religions. Others I've taken common elements and tried to craft something new. For each group/nation/whatever I try to come up with an official religion and then introduce a few points of contention and a some fringe beliefs. I keep the gods largely out of it...

My world started as an idea to combine every mythological and fantasy creature into one setting. It's been paired down quite a bit from that. My favorite thing about my world is that it's a big place spanning the globe with a cross section of human cultures which forces me to be more inventive...

King Gregor, known to history as Gregor the Fool. He ruled the small kingdom of Brighton around 500 years ago. In the forest there were gnomes loyal to him. It's complicated, but gnomes are essentially little wooden men. An unscrupulous wizard could turn a gnome into a powerfully magic wand by...

There is a series of plays known as The Centaur Follies. They are ribald comedies that rely on stereotypes, portraying them as savage, randy beasts. The most popular is "The Centaur's Harem." It is about a horse breeder who only has mares and a centaur who...erm...saves the farm. Centaurs take...

I've mentioned the Dog-Kin before. They're a small part of the current Orcish army. They consider their dogs equal to any soldier. There is also the Dark Elves who ride Pterosaurs. It's still in a concept phase. The Smil (Saber-toothed cat-folk) They change their personal name during times of war.

There are many ways to die, or worse in my world. There are a few different types of dragons. Most you'll meet are about the size of a bear, but you can find bigger. The three moons each cause a different variety of were-creature. When those moons align you don't want to be outside. There are...

I'm not sure about specifics. I suppose it would be harvest time, so veggies dishes and pies would be common. Tea is a staple. Coffee and hot chocolate would be special treats as they aren't native. Folks would also be prepping for winter. I imagine there would would be some sort of feast for...

Well if you go to the inhuman section of Amber City, there is Gret. She's a Goblin and quite good at what she does. She's not cheap though. If you find yourself in the heart of The Gnoman Empire I'd suggest a man named Theopolis or Boss Theo. regardless of who you hire, you'll want his blessing...

Probably the pterosaurs used by the dark elves. The snow elves use flying reindeer. It inspires awe because very few have been able to tame a flying creature. There is also a man called Sarrel the Necromancer who rides in a cart pulled by a team of zombies. It inspires terror which might be a...

Question 8: Can you give me the synopsis of one of your people's cultural/national epics? The foundational myths as it were. The Dwarven Creation Myth The four Under-Gods decided to create a people. The Smith, leader of the gods, made a skeleton out of iron. The Lady(Smith's wife) wove their...

Male trolls are basically live versions of troll dolls from our own world. They spit acid which is used to dissolve prey into goop. With the acid gland removed they make decent pets. They are popular among rich little girls. Driders (Dark Elf/spider hybrids) can birth a horde of spiders through...

Question 3: I dive to the bottom of the sea. What wonders, treasures and curiosities will I find on the seabed? I can't say for the very bottom, but you will find three types of merfolk. There are the Wavers who are completely mammalian. They look like your typical merfolk except the tail is...

I've got unicorns and winged reindeer. Some animals are altered by mages/alchemists. Dog fighting is fairly common. These dogs are fed potions designed to beef them up and also to guard against mind control magic. Not quite an animal but, the "zombie ant fungus" has been mutated and can now...

Retirement is for the rich. Most folk work until they die. Some transition to less strenuous work allowing the younger one to take over the heavy lifting. Some don't have anyone to take over, others are too proud too quit. Among the orcs there is no true retirement. They're expected to die...
