Thylea is home to many different species, only some of whom are native to her shores. Thyleans are collectively referred to as mortals—even those with very long lifespans. For more information about new species native to Thylea’s, including their origin myths and physical descriptions, refer to appendix K.
Native Species#
Centaurs, Satyrs, and Sirens. These creatures have existed in Thylea for thousands of years. They are common in rural areas but somewhat rare in cities.
Gygans. The gygans are a species of ancient cyclops that were mostly exterminated during the First War.
Medusae. Medusae are mortals who have been cursed by dark powers. They are secretive and very rare.
Minotaurs. Minotaurs are cursed tribes of humans. They are usually treated very poorly in cities.
Settler Species#
Humans. Humans are plentiful. Some were ship wrecked here thousands of years ago, and others came over with the Dragonlords 500 years ago. Humans populate all major cities and settlements.
Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings. These species are less common than humans, but they populate all major cities and settlements in fair numbers.
Half-orcs. Half-orcs are rare, and they are not stigmatized as they are in other lands. There are no orcs.
Tieflings. Tieflings are called “Stygians” and assumed to be servants of Lutheria. They are secretive and rare.
Dragonborn. Dragonborn are exceedingly rare. If they exist in Thylea, then they are hidden away in remote places. Thyleans would be shocked to see one.
