Races of Nevandaar

Nevandaar houses a number of unique, and defining races. Almost all of which come from the official WOTC material. If you have a custom race you would like me to add, please mention it to me and I can see if and where it fits into the setting. Some official races aren't here, and this is due to not finding a place to slot them in - if you'd like to play a race not on this list, just ask and I might find a way of putting them into the setting :)

Some races have been altered slightly for the setting, but have their characteristics generally the same as from the official source material, these are cited as 'Established' races. Aside from pantheons, and origin, they are carbon copies of the official versions of these races.

Some races have a few cultural or defining features altered slightly for the setting. This might alter them from the versions found in the source material by a small margin. Generally these races are very similar, but have a couple of unique things or changes for this setting. These will be cited as 'Altered' races.

A couple of races have had their entire premise revised. Centaur for instance, are a world apart from the versions represented in the Guildmasters Guide - these will be referred to as 'Changed' races.

If you plan on playing an altered, or changed race, please refer to their pages to see how they have been changed and if they still fit your concepts.
