    Glossography of the Flanaess - Peoples and Cultures

    The New Canon begins!

    The first full section covers the Peoples and Cultures of the Flanaess. Not just Humans and Demihumans. Not just Humanoids and Giants (reprinted from VOG). But everyone I could find on the encounter tables and more from 3.5 sources. The only thing missing is the kitchen sink, mostly because Rogue Modrons prefer to live in Sigil.

    Of course, covering all of that takes 97 pages, so be prepared for some intensive reading.

    Maybe, hopefully, someday it will get enhanced with art and cool layout and top 100 pages, but for now it is just a raw pdf netbook.

    Pick up your copy today for the low, low price of clicking the link then clicking download and open file.

    And yes, I am writing more!

    Am I correct that this work doesn't treat the standard demi-human pantheons as canonical?

    I'm quite intrigued by the olven history, in particular.

    Have you considered making silver-haired grey elves & blonde faeries geographically distinct, with faeries originating in Celene and (historically) Vale of Luna, while the grey elves hail from Sun(ndi) and (Summer) Stars?

    This has been my approach, FWIW.

    It treats them as what they are - standard, and thus not applicable to Oerth.
    Oerth has its own powers with overt demi-human aspects, and others easily applicable to them.

    Thanks. It is definitely divergent, but I wanted to highlight that the Flan were there first and make the Olve distinctly not human.

    No. Not rejected it, just never even thought of it. It is certainly a viable alternative. It just wound up for me as a way to connect to and highlight a fae origin for the Olve.

    As an aside, 15 years ago, I wrote two pieces that appeared in the Oerth Journal on the Olve of Sunndi and the Summer Stars. They do not include as much development as in this, but the beginnings of my work on making the elves different is there.
