Minotaurs are extremely strong, they are also furiously territorial beast and are normally found in enormous subterranean Labyrinths. Over many centuries Minotaurs have become accomplished miners, exceeding that of the dwarfs mining skills, above ground they carve awe-inspiring statues of the "Horned God" and Minotaur warriors. These statues can reach heights of thirty-five feet, and truly shows the brilliant craftsmanship of the creatures. Due to living in, and exploring Labyrinths on a daily basis they are fantastic at solving complex and confusing tunnel patterns, this puts them at a great advantage when hunting down trespassers.

Minotaurs have a large humanoid body with a bull's head. Although their is of bull form, their teeth are sharp because of their meat diet. The typical color range of their fur is from pure black to light brown, although, their skin usually ranges from dark brown to light brown. Their eyes range from blue to brown, blue being rare, and on extremely rare occasions they can have red eyes. Minotaurs are much bigger than humans, standing between 7' to 8’, and they weigh anywhere from 450lb to 700lb. Minotaurs don't really wear clothing because they are fully furred, but some may wear loincloths. A male minotaurs horns can grow to lengths of 3', whereas the females grow to be 6" to 12", minotaurs do not have feet, instead they have cleft hooves. Minotaurs can live to a grand age of 200.

Most Minotaurs are born and raised in the Minotaurs society, never venturing any further than the deepest depths of the Labyrinth. These Minotaurs are normally the ones who follow the paths of their ancestor's, not needing to socialize with inferior races such as elves, halfling, who Minotaurs have a hated for, due to there lack of strength and honor, as they see it. But in more recent years there has been a change in Minotaurs look upon society and the fortunes it brings to them. 
More and more Minotaurs are starting to join the Damocles Military and fleets, their reasoning for this is that the militarist life style appeals greatly to them, and they also get paid for there warrior talents. When in such military groups, they normally lead raiding parties or act as bodyguards to high commanders, which they find easy as not many creatures with start a fight with a Minotaur. 
All Minotaurs can speak "Giant", and the more social ones can pick up "Common".

Habitat/Society: Minotaurs believe that they are the most superior race, they believe that their strength, code of honor and loyalty puts them above any other race. Minotaurs generally like conflicts but they don't causes trouble with humans, as they respect the humans above other races because of their militarist skills, but when a situation arises, where violence is needed they will gladly come out in force to destroy their enemies. The most sacred place to them is their Labyrinth, if anybody for any reason intrudes upon it and they are not Minotaurian, they will hunt them down and kill them where they stand, leaving the body to rot, so that if there is another trespasser they know what fate awaits them.

There is no gender rank within the minotaur herd because the females are as equally built as the males, but the males normally get more respect. A cow can only give birth once a year, but because they live in subterranean climates, they can give birth at any time in the calendar year. It is not know if the Minotaurs have a great treasure hold or not, this is due to the fact that no on has ever ventured that far into a Labyrinth and returned to telling tail, but it is assumed that they have great riches deep inside the Labyrinth.

Minotaurs worship the god Krondor, to Minotaurs he represents the god of war, strength and combat, where the humans see him as a "human" figure, the Minotaurs obviously see him as a giant Minotaur standing at 10' tall, with horns extending out 4', this is why you may hear some referring to him as "The Horned God", he also holds a great warhammer in his right hand, Minotaurs don't even consider the humans idea of Krondor the same god.

There is no real significant thing about Minotaur history, as they have existed with humans of Damocles for centuries. Several hold positions in Damocles relating to either Security or Tactical such as Warhammer Pilots, Airship Chief of Security or Strategists.

Nymphs are nature's embodiment of physical beauty, and the guardians of the sacred places of the wild. They are so unbearably lovely that even a glimpse of one can blind an onlooker. Nymphs hate evil and any who would despoil the wilds for any reason. 

A nymph's demeanor is wild and mercurial. Like nature itself, she embodies both great beauty and fearsome danger. She can be kind and graceful to mortals who revere the wild places of the world, but is also quick to strike against mortals who take more than they need or who treat nature thoughtlessly. Animals of all types flock to a nymph, ignoring the presence of natural enemies; injured beasts know that the nymph will tend their wounds. This being always appears as a beautiful woman, one who's beauty exceeds mere words. She is captivating and dangerous because of the emotions she inspires. She has long, copper hair, perfect skin, large eyes, and long swept back ears. She is about the height and weight of a female elf and can speak Sylvan and Common.

Nymphs are better disposed toward elves, half-elves, and druids. Individuals they recognize as friends of nature. They are likely to offer such people a chance to explain their presence instead of driving them away. Nymphs have also been known to aid good heroes who approach them in a courteous and respectful manner. 

Of the nymphs attacks, the first is Blinding Beauty. This ability affects all humanoids within 30 feet of a nymph. Those who are hit by this power are blinded permanently as though hit with a blindness spell. A nymph however can suppress or resume this ability with ease. The second such attack is a stunning glance, used when a wrathful nymph looks towards an opponent within thirty feet and stuns it with that look. This stun lasts for 4-8 minutes. Nymphs are also known to be very graceful in their moves and have an empathic ability when it comes to all things nature and animals. They also excel at swimming and can swim rather swiftly. Besides this are also the nymph's spells. Once a day a nymph can cast Dimension Door. Also a nymph normally has a set of nature and divine spells such as Cure Minor Wounds, Detect Magic, Flare, Guidance, Light, Resistance, Calm Animal, Cure Light Wounds, Entangle, Longstrider, Speak with Animals, Barkskin, Heat Metal, Lesser Restoration, Tree Shape, Call Lightning, Cure Moderate Wounds, Protection from Energy & Rusting Grasp.

Habitat/Society: These beautiful females inhabit only the loveliest of wilderness places, clear lakes and streams and other such areas. They prefer a solitary existance, but very occiassionally a few will gather together in a place of spectacular charm, though these rendezvous seldom last for more than a few months. Any treasure a nymph possesses has usually been given to them by some lovesick man.

Orcs are aggressive humanoids that raid, pillage, and battle other creatures. They have a hatred for elves and dwarves that began generations ago, and often kill such creatures on sight. They look like a primitive human with gray skin and coarse hair, with a stooped posture, low forehead and a piglike face with prominent lower canines that resembles a boar's tusks.

An orc's hair is usually black. It has lupine ears and reddish eyes. Orcs prefer wearing vivid colors that many humans would consider unpleasant, such as blood red, mustard yellow, yellow-green and deep purple. Their equipment is dirty and unkempt. An adult, male orc is a little over 6 feet tall and weighs about 210 pounds. Females are slightly smaller.

When not actually fighting other creatures, orcs are usually planning raids or practicing their fighting skills. The language an orc speaks varies slightly from tribe to tribe, but any orc is understandable by someone else who speaks Orc. Some orcs know Goblin or Giant as well.

Orcs who have adapted to civilized life are also far different and more agreeable. Those orcs gather among mostly the civilizations found in Axius (Feeling that is the one and only nation that would accept orcs) and most orcs usually work night jobs and sleep during the day, such jobs ranging from construction work at the shipyards, to unloading crates at the docks, to moving cargo about or acting as a form of cheap protection. While not as war hungry as their wild brethren, they have been known to pick fights over minor matters when after partaking of one too many drinks.

Orcs can be dazzled in bright sunlight or a daylight spell, having a sensitivity to such light. Orcs are also much stronger than a normal human, however less intelligent, wise and their looks and mannerisms sometimes cause them problems in social situations. They can see very good in the dark, for about 60 feet, yet suffer in bright light. Many orcs can speak Common and Orc, as well as Dwarven, Giant, Gnoll, Goblin and Undercommon. Most orcs prefer to be barbarians, taking on a nomadic, wandering warrior lifestyle.

Habitat/Society: Orcs believe that to survive, they must conquer as much territory as possible, which puts them at odds with all intelligent creatures that live near them. They are constantly warring with or preparing to war with other humanoids, including other orc tribes. They can ally with other humanoids for a time but quickly rebel if not commanded by orcs. Orc religion (a twisting of the Krondor religion) teaches them that all other beings are inferior and that all worldly goods rightfully belong to the orcs, having been stolen by the others. Orc spellcasters are ambitious, and rivalries between them and the warrior leaders sometimes tear a tribe apart.

Orc society is patriarchal: Females are prized possessions at best and chattel at worst. Male orcs pride themselves on the number of females they own and the male children they sire, as well as their battle prowess, wealth, and amount of territory. They wear their battle scars proudly and ritually scar themselves to mark significant achievements and turning points in their lives.

An orc lair may be a cave, a series of wooden huts, a fort, or even a large city built above and below the ground. A tribe includes females (as many as there are males), young (half as many as there are females), and slaves (about one for every ten males). The orcs mostly worship their own variant of the Primal Krondor, seeing him as a god of war and one who tolerates no signs of peaceability among the orcs.
