Non-Standard Races

Thri-Kreen

They are perhaps the oddest looking residents of the city. They stand about seven feet in height, and have a mantis-look to them. They have four arms, an insect-like head, and a hard exoskeleton. They speak their own language, as well as Common and Davek. They are not as sociable as other residents of the city, but they are not rude or impolite if spoken to. No Thri-Kreen are known to own shops or offer services within the city, but there presence is there, just the same.

Muls

Muls are another odd race of Burden’s Peak. They are a mix of human and dwarf. They have the physical appearance of dwarves, but the height of humans, making them look very stocky and large. They are sterile creatures, so they are very few in quantity. They speak very slowly, and can speak Common and Davek.

Drow, gnomes, orcs, and other lesser known species
