This list of expanded history is presented as a series of lectures taught at the various colleges, libraries and universities on Cuivienen. This lore is readily available to any character actively seeking the knowledge.



This section details the various sub-races native-born into the world of Sanctuary. A timeline of when individual races arrived, along with expanded history can be found on the wiki.

In summary, our players should understand the general evolution of the races. Sanctuary is in essence a massive melting pot of races from many dimensions. Only those sub-races that arrived en masse have been recorded in history, but it's logical to assume many more arrived in small clans or groups over the millennia. Early arrivals would naturally interbreed and the non-human races tended to have the more dominant genetics.

Racial evolution would change significantly once the Andals arrived and the religion of the Thorn King rose in power -- approximately 2000 years ago. All non-humans would be effectively demonized. Those that could hide among the humans would. Those that could not, would find they had no choice but to inter-breed. Still, others would leave the human civilizations and go feral attacking humans or near humans on sight.

Eventually the power of the Thorn King is broken and people would finally emerge reclaiming their ancestry and displaying powers once kept hidden, but no true pure-blood from millennia past really exists any more.
