lol yeah we have a custom quest maker built just for PFF in modules for unity, Deck made the entire thing because it sped up how he programmed/inputted/implemented quests, then he made a more GUI friendly version and its there! People could make quests in it right now actually.
That's good to know! I hope someone already has a story there, 'cause I don't know how to do make one in the game. :rivercrying_emoji:
Oh shit that sounds super cool! Galar Nua does nee d abunch more lore, we are kinda radiating lore from the Atlathkan Coast outwards at the moment, but we do have some lore for the region!
I thiiiiink kobolds are a bit rarer in the region but we aren't settled whether Saurians have spread to the continent of Jor but like... we are really spiraling and spinning on Saurians... I think I want them on the western sub-continent still, but they might be on the coasts of Jor. A lot of people are hesistant/depopulated from Jor due to the Rotten King. The furry eared elves are down there of course, and humans. Though there are furry/fluffy kobolds in the extreme climate regions there.
Oooh so Galar Nua is only inhabited by (closeted furry) elves, humans and (although rare) kobolds? Does this mean other lizardfolk like Nagas/etc, are not in the region yet?
Archive Of Our Own! Thus AO3 because of the triple Os lol. It is a fic archive website. I'm planning to post it there. I can't post it on other websites like Wattpad (cause of stupid ol' NSFW regulations) and others.
Currently there are, each root is the base and I am listing most of their subsets
- Humans
- Ohmish - A subset of humans who are on average tall, very pale, stronger than average, their women are virtually on parity with men in terms of strength if they are equal in weight pound for pound. They have a large dominance in ginger hair, chestnut, and some brunettes and are the only place where blood red hair is natural. Blood red hair being indicative of some connection in blood to the noble lines of Anemas or their cousin families. Some Ohmish are the same size as Ogres, namely the Graff region, Haubres Valley, along the eastern side of Ohmes.
- Giants - A susbet of human which are massive, taller than ogres, stronger, massive. We don't have much on them yet but they are fairly rare as is.
- Aeyl - Elven or Human, these are persons born with animalistic features seemingly from complete random. In some places they are seen as vile ill-omens, like in the Kazahd Sultanate where the infants would be executed at birth... though this practice has been stopped when Ohmes threatened invasion of Kazahd unless they ended this practice... no one knows why Ohmes took such offense to this, but they complied.
- Elves
- Novencian - Dark skinned elves with skin from a purplish violet, grey, and sometimes black. They are famed for mercantile exploits, have gifted mages who are known for their ability to work with magic with little to no adverse effects. They are seen as exotic, beautiful, their women are most often very plump and are lovingly referred to as "Plums" by the Ohmish, or Grape Elves for their famous wine. Though this can be used in a racist connotation, too, so they are going to look at you funny if you call them that and they don't know if you mean it in a positive way or not.
- Island - Island Elves are a very sea-fairing race, and like other elves have a better sense of balance, but this is even more-so for the Island Elves. Capable of remaining right and true in some of the worst conditions when most peoples would lose their balance. It's not silly levels of balance like Legolas in the movies, but they are certainly better at balance.
- Pale Elves - Typically a cross breed of elf. Most base elves are a tawny complexion such as those from the Kazahd Sultanate, but these are fair skinned elves.
- Aeyl - Elven or Human, these are persons born with animalistic features seemingly from complete random. In some places they are seen as vile ill-omens, like in the Kazahd Sultanate where the infants would be executed at birth... though this practice has been stopped when Ohmes threatened invasion of Kazahd unless they ended this practice... no one knows why Ohmes took such offense to this, but they complied.
- Galan - Larger set elves with ears that have thick furlike lines ears, almost exclusively on Jor.
- Ogres
- Half Ogres - are human/elven mixes who are typically shorter than ogers, but have some form of horn though they may be dimunitive compared to a typical ogre.
- Lizard Folk
- Kobolds - Are a very dimunitive smaller version of Saurians, who many races assumed were children on first contact... until they noted they were clearly adults. Most kobolds are just under a human's chest on average, with the tallest specimens of being about shoulder height. These kobolds are much more often confused as Saurians by other races, but they are never mistaken for Saurian by other lizard folk. They are VERY often disadvantaged in other cultures/societies, as they are smaller and weaker they struggle to find gainful labour employment... so poor kobolds tend to be EXTREMELY impoverished, often taking extremely dangerous/unwanted jobs of other peoples. This leads to a lot of bigoted thought towards kobolds, and they often end up in areas of crime to get by, too.
- Saurians - The most widespread lizardfolk around, man height on average and in general the same in terms of build and capabilities. Their scales can give them a bit of extra protection from the elements, and they have a higher tolerance to wet/humid conditions, and a much greater lung strength and swimming capability in water. They, like most lizardfolk, are much longer lived than humanity on average... sometimes reaching two hundred years old even! They tend to not age very much after adulthood until rapidly aging in their very late-life.
- Lizard-kin - A human mix, almost always with scales, at times with horns, many even have large tails and clawed feet. Some even have clawed hands. They sometimes inherent the long-lived properties of Saurians, but not to the same extent.
- Naga - Large snaking lizard folk, weighing hundreds of kilograms with powerful tails. They are regarded as elegant and intelligent by the lizard folk, though this is more a stereotype than reality, as they are in actuality no smarter than the average Saurian or Kobold, but many of them are wealthy individuals from influential families. They are fairly uncommon eve in their homeland.
- Kobold-kin - Human and kobold pairings are pretty common especially in terms of prostitution as many kobolds are forced into the life due to a lack of opportunity... the often unwanted children of these pairings can be smaller on average.
- Kraat - mangy and reviled kobold offshoot, vermin like.
- Zahra
- There are many subtypes and phenotypes of this peculiar race of animalistic people. They are rare outside their lands, and sometimes viewed as wild-animals that are mimicking/parroting society. They are often feared, especially since most contact outside of their homelands are with the exiled members of their soceity who often enature bestial and violent tendencies...
- Undead
- They are a parasitic race, which can be placed into any recently deceased body, to varying degrees of intelligence/sapience in a very random and misunderstood process to wit only the most educated and oldest of the liches understand. Some liches retain an air of enigmatic beauty to deal with outsiders, or at least, shape and create "liaisons" or "emissaries" who are maintained to be beautiful front facing entities. The treatment of undead varies wildly from nation to nation, person to person... the Ohmish approach them in a pragmatic sense, though retain some wariness. The Einadians are vehemently opposed to the undead and meetings often end in violence... with the Einadians living up to their fames martial prowess and the undead becoming testaments to that skill.
- Demons
- Kyot
- Nampala
- Mollusk like creatures... living seemingly impossibly long lives and emerging rarely from their underwater cities. They are unknown entities, rarely speaking common. Most only know of them from mentions by Kyot who are not very receptive or kind about what they say, as the Kyot and Nampala are bitter enemies having once been trapped underground in one massive underwater cavern network fighting and vying for space until they managed to dig themselves out again and find the surface world. Nampala sightings have popped up more and more of late, with surface peoples mystified by the strange beings.
Wooow these are a
lot of races, thanks! Also what do the Nampalas look like? Do you have art/concept of them somewhere? (My brain is a visual learner and doesn't imagine things well)
Pendings/Undecided and should not be considered a part of this world until you see them: Harpeis, Moth/Insectoids, dwarf/halflings, Your mom, goblins?
There's been an influx of Your Mama jokes everywhere recently and I kept getting shot with them
Jk aside thanks for bringing that up to light tho, will use this info!
Humans can breed/intermix with elves and giants easily, and ogers.

My protagonist the moment he gets there. (His pelvis may or may not be broken depending on his sexual partner)
Lizardfolk can breed with almost anyone, they... avoid testing this with non sapien species.
Are you implying the lizardfolk in PFF did bestiality/zoophilia at some point? Sheesh.
Zahra and the Elven/Humans (the root form is Elf) don't seem to be able to mix, normally... though for some reason there are rumours of Aeyl randomly being produced from their pairings? Probably just urban myths and lies from Kazahdians to foment distrust of the Zahra...
Does this mean Aeyl's are implied to have incestuous backgrounds? Interesting...
Ohmish are considered normal humans by most... but they are very much a cousin to humans similar to how Antecessor was the root of Neandethalensis, heidelbergensis, and sapiens... the Ohmish are their own branch of the family and were an isolated population. They aren't as distance as Habilis or Rudolfensis, those would be giants btw (and Giants are a bit difficult to conceive a child with/from) but they are their own branch of the tree. Later in the setting as time progresses the world will understand how this works and that Ohmish are technically not the same human as the common human. Homo-Ohme have an easier time conceiving with giants than average Homo-Sapiens. Ohmish mercenaries fetch a high price, often only matched by Einad, even outpricing Ogres.
This is
very useful historical information, I shall use it! Thanks again for sharing!
Some extra questions though... (I hope you don't mind answering more of them lol)
1. Is magic common in this world? I did see Magic Stones in the comic but never seen them get used in the other panels, just for a brief second. Like, do mages/wizard exist? Are things powered by the magic stones as well and not hard technology? (Like, for example, are cannons powered by magic to shoot the cannon ball rather than black powder?)
2. I don't recall the world having a name yet, does the world in PFF have a name yet? Or is it base name like Earth?
3. Also do you or others have a map of PFF yet? I haven't been able to find any in the wiki and was wondering if there's a detailed cartographical chart of the entire world?
4. Also Also, do guns exist in this world? Like the higher level of it to be specific? I've seen things like muskets in the comic but I assume rifles/bolt-action rifles are not produced/invented yet, right? I wonder what level of the tech tree they are on right now?
5. Also Also Also (That's a lot of Alsos) are condoms/sex products invented yet? I don't want my protag getting fantasy STDs unless I make some goddess/god gave him the blessing of being immune from said diseases. (
Wink wink Yela W
ink wink) Oh and talking about gods, what deities are there in PFF? There's Yela but I haven't heard other gods yet.
Really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my questions lol, never thought I'd chat with one of the guys behind the game.
