| + | * Skum: Created by the Aboleth to serve as their soldiers. As the Aboleths have declined, so have they, and many have been released to form barbaric tribes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Angel Descendants === | ||
| + | * Aasimar: Descendants of angels that stayed during the Age of Spirits. | ||
| + | * Grimlock: The Grimlocks were originally created as a foot soldiers for the angels in the beginning of the Age of Magic. Back then they were big and strong, and had full sight.

| + | * Sasori: Created by the Angels to maintain the library of Urm. When the Angels fled to The Golden Isles, the Sasori were left behind. They generally survive within the communities of other civilizations. Mostly no more than a single family in a single community. | ||

| + | * Sahta: Created as a warrior race in the Age of Magic. They were originally used as entranced automatons with no free will, but that spell was broken when the Djinn left for the Golden Isles (where they still use Sahta as house guards). Those that survived the Age of Spirits were taken under the wing of the Sirpah. Through coincidence a large force of Sahta was not involved in the final battle against [[Kartas]] and thus survived, going on to settle the Mahrdom of Dairin. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Dwarves Descendants === | ||
| + | * Nkosi: Created from clay in the age of magic. Few in numbers but naturally inclined to benevolently rule others. | ||

The Derro that survived the following slaughter escaped underground, where they live to this day. The Derro live in small family groups, constantly fighting with each other, but much more dangerous and malicious towards outsiders. | ||

Their queens built empires, enslaving other races, and putting them into the Formian hierarchy. They did not encroach on the largest empires, but remained at a remove from them, sometimes giving up ground to stay beyond their reach. The Formians still stay from areas close to other empires. But when you wander into the massive wastelands between the empires, there may be a Formian empire beneath your feet. And they still take slaves. | ||

| + | ** Sogrant (Cave Giant): Created in the Age of the Ancients by the [[Siran Empire]] as a servitor species of workers and warriors. During The God War, they were corrupted by Kartas, losing their intellect and generally becoming evil. In the Age of Man they generally live in the deep places, shunning the light. | ||

| + | |||
| + | === Umber Mage Descendants === | ||
