This is a dark age, an age of daemons and of sorcery. An age of war and death, the world is ending!


Author's Note: This is my crude attempt to bring Warhammer Fantasy to Friends & Fables, as such not every thing will be entirely accurate, I will do my best to keep it all as close to the lore as possible. It is still rough around the edges and requires a lot of work. But if you like grimdark or Warhammer Fantasy this will make a great world for your next campaign.

Vampires

Vampires

A Vampire is an immortal, parasitic, Undead humanoid being created by another Vampire from a formerly mortal man or woman that devours the life forces of other mortals in the form of their life's blood. All Vampires have a natural ability to command necromantic magic. This acumen grows as the Vampire ages and becomes more in tune with the Dark Magic that animates them. They are immortal and immune to disease. They retain their memories and personality form their mortal life, but become warped.

Skaven
Custom

Skaven

The Skaven, sometimes known as the ratmen are a malevolent and diabolical race of large, intelligent, humanoid rats that inhabit a massive, inter-continental, subterranean empire known in their tongue simply as the "Under-Empire." The Skaven as a whole are a cruel, treacherous, and highly numerous species that have since spread their loathsome corruption to the farthest corners of the world. To a Skaven, there is no such thing as remorse, compassion, or cooperation. There is simply survival!

Orcs
Custom

Orcs

The Orcs are perhaps the largest and most warlike of the Greenskin species, whose large size and raw physical strength easily allows them to dominate much of Greenskin society. Orcs are an extremely violent and brutish species in mind, body and soul. They are brutes and louts of the first degree, insensitive to pain and higher thought, and are singularly geared towards constant and ever-escalating warfare. In a more practical sense, Orcs simply live to fight!

Chaos Dwarfs
Custom

Chaos Dwarfs

The Chaos Dwarfs, known in their own tongue as Uzkul-Dhrath-Zharr, Dhrath, or in Khazalid as the Dawi-Zharr ("Fire-Dwarfs") and among themselves sometimes as the "Sons of Hashut," are an industrious, dark-souled and merciless warrior race of Dwarf Daemonsmiths, slavers and brutal killers that dominate the dark and cheerless landscape of the Dark Lands to the east of the Old World. The Chaos Dwarfs embrace the worst traits, the greed, violent hatreds and evil obsessions of the Dwarf race.

Dark Elves
Custom

Dark Elves

The Dark Elves, or the Druchii as they call themselves in their own tongue, are one of the most ancient, powerful, and certainly the most sadistic of the three major Elven civilizations of the Known World. In the bleak, chilly lands of the continent of Naggaroth in the New World lies the Dark Elven realms ruled by the Witch King Malekith, a nation born of the intensities of malice and hate that only Elves are capable of feeling. The Druchii are raiders, slavers and heartless reavers.

Wood Elves
Custom

Wood Elves

The Wood Elves, known as the Asrai in Eltharin, the language of the Elves, or as the Fay Folk of Athel Loren by Men, are a reclusive, secretive and highly isolationist sub race of Elves that long ago voluntarily split off from the rest of their kin, preferring instead to live out their lives in nature's embrace beneath the enchanted forested canopy of the great woodland of Athel Loren. However, other enclaves of Wood Elves are known to exist, such as the Eonir of Laurelorn Forest.

Dwarfs
Custom

Dwarfs

The Dwarfs, or the Dawi as they call themselves in their tongue of Khazalid, also called the "Elder Race" by Men, and sometimes as the "Dwarfen Mountain Holds" when referring to their kingdoms as a whole, are one of the oldest and proudest intelligent mortal races of the Known World, with a great wealth of history and power that stretches back to time immemorial. Lifespan: Rarely over 500yrs, Height: 4'8" average, Magic: Rune magic, Can be corrupted by chaos and vampirism.

High Elves
Custom

High Elves

The High Elves, or the Asur as they call themselves, are one of the most ancient and powerful mortal civilizations of the world of Mallus. Hailing from the mighty, mist-shrouded island-continent of Ulthuan located in the center of the Great Ocean, this kindred of the Elves are a proud and mighty nation of masterful warriors, peerless mages and lords of the sky and sea.

Mankind
Custom

Mankind

Mankind, also called Humans, Humanity or Humankind, and "Manlings" by their sometimes allies the Dwarfs, are a race of intelligent, mammalian humanoids dominant in the Old World and the Far East. Mankind was one of the last intelligent peoples of the Known World to become civilized. They are now one of the most powerful and populous species spread across the globe and might be considered the dominant intelligent race of the world of Mallus. They are a diverse species living a average of 60yrs.
