Transcript
I have briefly covered some of the more popular playing character races in the Dragonlance campaign setting, but we aren’t done quite yet.
Intro
Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam and today we are going to talk about some more races of Krynn. I would like to take a moment and thank my collaborator patrons, the Heroes of the Lance, and invite you to consider becoming a patron or member of this channel by visiting the links in the description below. You can even pick up Dragonlance gaming materials using my affiliate link. I am referencing the Races of Krynn, Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition supplement by Sovereign Press for this information.
Discussion
Krynn and it’s continents are home to all manner of races. Some are more suitable to player characters than others, and some even straddle the line between creatures and races. What I am presenting today are some races that can easily be considered creatures but due to the rich history of Krynn can be used as player characters in a creative campaign.
By now we are all familiar with the story of the Graystone of Gargath and its effects on the original races of Krynn, so I won’t go over the story again, only to say the following races owe their origins to the chaos spread by the gem in it’s many sojourns across Krynn.
Ithin’carthians were introduced to Ansalon by Lord Ariakan prior to the Summer of Chaos. They are humans, though separated and distinct from the civilized and nomadic humans on the rest of Krynn. Separated from the world on their isolated island, Ithincarthians consist of three separate racial offshoots. The Tarmak, with their thick beards, average six feet high and 200 pounds. They have pointed ears though, All Ithin’carthians have pointed ears to some degree. Damjat are the second offshoot who have the least pronounced ears, they do not favor facial hair, and they are shorter than their Tarmak cousins. The Damjat are legendary for their horsemanship, but have been subjugated by the Tarmak. The third offshoot is the Keena. They are more slender than Tarmak, composed of sorcerer-priests. They are the religious caste of the Tarmak. Both the Damjat and Keena have their heads shaved to reflect their diminished social status. In the Fifth age the Ithin’carthians have spread from their island to the eastern beachheads of Ansalon, even conquering into the eastern Plains of Dust.
We have covered a few of the parent races of the following racial offshoots. However, because they are different enough from their fellows, I believe they deserve a brief inclusion here. Wild Gnomes are the first of the three. The race of Gnomes are broken between Tinkers and Mad (or Thinker) gnomes, but Wild Gnomes, though small in number, are varied enough to discuss. Founded by Picket in the Great Moors of Nordmaar, Wild Gnomes excel at biological tinkering, producing a variety of strange and wonderful plants and even creatures! They average four feet in height, featuring dark skin covered in paints, oils and poultices, and bright blue eyes. They have naturally white hair, typically kept in dreadlocks or braids. They are not as wild as they are unconcerned with the rest of civilization. They are obsessed with organics and as such don’t have much respect for personal space or privacy, living in a communal society.
Thoradorian Minotaurs is the second racial variant I would like to present. They were cast off from other minotaur society before the cataclysm due to their degeneration. Why they were degenerating is yet unknown, speculation suggests inbreeding. Another legend is that an ancestor betrayed an emperor, who exiled the entire clan. Sargas then cursed them. They dwell in a southwestern area of Mithas known as Thorad-Duur... - บันเทิง
Thank you for watching today's Dragonlance Setting video. Do you have a favorite race listed? Would you ever play a creature style race in a campaign? Leave a comment below.
I'm currently playing a goblin in a DL campaign. Before the game started, only the DM knew anything about DL, but finding your channel helped the whole group, including the DM, learn more about this setting.
I have a fondness for Goblins but I tend to play them more like Ferengi mixed with the Harry Potter Goblins. I also have played a Minotaur druid which was a lot of fun.
An old friend of mine played Minotaur's almost exclusively. I have never played a Goblin. Was the campaign a creature based one?
I've played a character of virtually every race in a lot of D&D settings. A lot of players tend to be drawn towards character concepts due to certain themes or artwork--animalistic characters benefit from this source greatly--but it's important to know what sort of story you're shooting for. Nothing is more aimless then trying to go for a character just for looks or for a particular character build to break the game, in my opinion and experience. Knowing the theme of story the Dungeon Master wishes to tell and coming up with a story for your own character to have that goes along with it or alongside it can vastly improve one's enjoyment of the game overall. That being said, I do find myself more drawn towards Draconians, Dragonborn, Minotaurs, the various feline races of various worlds, and such. Overall, like all things, communication is vastly important to establish expectations and desires.
This is great advice on choosing the right creature for the campaign. Thank you!
@@DLSaga Curious though--are there more feline races in Krynn? I doubt there are, but knowing WotC, they'll probably try to hamfist a lot of races in there with the new book.
I'm wondering if they'll just say Dragonborn and Draconians are the same thing on Krynn for the new book.
Thank you for posting.
You’re welcome!
this channel is amazing
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Oh the Thanoi sounds a lot of fun in a winter like campaign. Like a group stuck in the tundras and have to fight or flight from them!
Yes, I would love to run a one off adventure like that.
There is a great book where where these creatures in it.
I wished you picked a different pic for the Hobgoblins but when it comes down to Goblinoids a Hobgoblin is probably the only Goblinoid that a DM will let you play as in a Dragonlance campaign if they want to be true to the setting because they have been split into two groups uncivilised Hobgoblins are the ones who are most likely to fight for the dragon queen and than you have the civilised Hobgoblins who are more interested in living a peaceful life you can find these Hobgoblins in cities or in tribes these two groups do not get along with each other for obvious reasons
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Thumbed up before the intro even over. I know it's gonna be good.
Thank you!
Finally! You’re talking about the Tarmaks.
It took a bit but I got there. I wish there were more paintings or illustrations of them.
@@DLSaga I hear that, Mr. Saga.
When I first read Races of Ansalon you won’t believe how disappointed I was to see not art and only the vaguest description for both the Tarmaks and their two client races.
Their full body protection tattoos are an ingenious nugget of lore and the mystery surrounding their home continent is a real attention grabber!
A story set in that part of Krynn (I forgot the continents name) would be a tantalizing opportunity to put the old imagination to work, but that doesn’t seem very likely to happen; or any new Dragonlance stories for that matter.
A half goblin may be an interesting option to play.
Yea, I like the inherent complexity with the disparate cultures and biases.
Can you tell us something about the other continent? According to my DM, it was mostly--if not completely--ignored by DL's creators and content creators.
which one adlatum or taladas?
@@daemonisedone4256 Taladas. Ansalon is the primary continent.
I can. I covered a lot of Taladas in the Lands of Krynn episode: th-cam.com/video/GgS2jRF6x5Y/w-d-xo.html
There is also a great trilogy set in Taladas and DC comics series that covered it.
@@DLSaga Thank you.
