Burwigs (B&r'wig) are little people, taller than dwarves but not by much, who live in burrows in the hills, and are ruled mildly by minor governors. There are very few stories of them, as they generally stay clear of the taller races.
There is a wide variety of stories about dragons. Some tell of majestic and benevolant beings who are willingly given tribute. Others tell of horrible, mindless creatures who think of nothing but destruction. Dragons in myth range in size from smaller than a blade of grass, to larger than Aerv itself.
Dwarves are short, stocky people, growing to a height of only two or three feet, who concern themselves primarily with hard, sober work, like mining and metalworking. They are said to be immortal, or at least to live for hundreds of years. The dwarves keep their distance from humans; they are suspicious of foreigners. They live in mountains and hills, always underground, where they carve tunnels and caves in which to live and work. Only rulers, miners and artisans are ever mentioned in …
Having so much diversity in themselves, humans have been known to muddle the stories of other races together, and confuse them until it is easier just to clump them all into the category of “fairy folk.”
Humans have a strong tendency towards lawful, organized societies. There is usually a noble class, which makes and enforces laws and owns all land; a bourgeois class, which manages the flow of money in towns by controlling all cosmopolitan business; a class of merchants and craftsmen who make up the lower ranks of the guilds, and a peasant class, including tenants, serfs and freeman farmers. In some places, there is also class of slaves, which has a widely varying level of rights and pri…
For the most part, these mythical creatures exist only in stories. Humans exist, obviously, and elves nad sh'kurdaru have appeared in the game turns. creature index

The creatures move like lizards, and are extremely sensitive to bright light. Sh'kurdaru think only of food. They sneak up on their prey, and emit an anesthetizing poison through their skin and mouth, numbing the skin and muscle of their prey, and eat them alive before their prey are even aware of the attack.
The Zioth campaign world came into existence some time in 1994, a few months after I first got a hold of the Second Edition Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. It began as a mathematical exercise. I named five moons, gave them lunar cycles, and tried to figure out how often they would all be new at once. Having forgotten how to calculate the lowest common multiple, it took me a long time, but I eventually worked out that a moonless night would occur o…

The Coming of the Ziothplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Coming of the Zioth
Welcome to a world that has nineteen years left to live. In nineteen years, on the one thousand twentieth year of the Zioth, all five moons will leave the sky for a night, and the world will be destroyed and rebuilt.

Yes, this is simple and ugly, but it's a start!. I plan to make it prettier, and add time elements from game history. I also plan to add in specific important events from the turns.
