Races: Difference between revisions

There are many races to choose from in EFU:R ranging from the standard NWN races to specially scripted, application-only EFU:R subraces. We recommend new players pick a non-application race to explore the world and get to know the server.

== Non-Application Races of EFU:R==

Since the Thunder Blessing, many young gold dwarves have left the Great Rift and are exploring the rest of Faerûn. The folk of other lands have learned that while some gold dwarves are aloof and suspicious, for the most part they are forthright warriors and shrewd traders.

The sculpted halls and echoing chambers of dwarven kingdoms are scattered throughout the Underdark like forgotten necklaces of semiprecious stones. Dwarven kingdoms such as Xonathanur, Oghrann, and Gharraghaur taught the less civilized races of Faerûn what it meant to hold and wield power. Unlike the ancient human empires, the dwarves distrusted magic, so they were never seduced by the heights of magical folly that toppled Netheril and Imaskar. Instead, the dwarves become locked in eternal wars with goblin-kind and the other dwellers in the Underdark. One by one, the dwarven empires of the north failed, leaving only scattered survivors in the mountains or unconquered sections of the Underdark.

Moon elves are the most common sort of elves in Faerûn. Also called silver elves, they have fair skin (sometimes tinged with blue) and hair of silver-white, black, or blue (though rare, humanlike colors are possible). Their eyes are blue or green, with gold flecks. They are the elven subrace most tolerant of humankind and most half elves are descended from moon elves.

Sun elves are less common across Faerûn than moon elves, because most live on Evermeet, where non-elves are not allowed to tread. Also called gold elves, they have bronze skin; hair of golden blond, copper, or black; and green or gold eyes. They are seen as the most civilized and haughty of elves, preferring to remain separate from humankind and other non-elven races.

Rock Gnomes are the most common type of gnomes in Faerûn, and are usually just called gnomes since they are the only sort that surface dwellers ever see. They are inquisitive, irrepressible, and at times insincere. Equipped by nature with keen curiosity and a knack for mechanical workings, gnomes excel at intricate crafts such as gem cutting, toy making and clockwork engineering.
