High Thonians
The High Thonians are members
of the highest, most powerful
human social caste within Blackmoor’s
borders. While High
Thonians tend to come from advantaged
backgrounds, not all of
them have the stomach for politics
or fi ghting. Many use their
family names and backgrounds
to pursue science and other
academic matters. Several
teachers at the University of
Blackmoor are High Thonians
from important families.
Personality: High Thonians
are studious people and
excellent entertainers. They
spend their time learning and
fi nding new and interesting
ways to entertain themselves
and their wealthy friends. Noble
Thonians spend their money
freely to impress others or to
purchase necessary parts for
their inventions. They are kind
and gentle to others but are
venomously possessive of their
expansive libraries and eccentric
inventions.
Physical Description:
High Thonians stand 5 to 6 feet
tall and weigh from 135 to 265
pounds, with men noticeable
taller and heavier than women.
Their skin is fair; their hair
tends to be blond or brown. To
demonstrate their excellent
grooming, most High Thonian
men do not wear beards. High
Thonians are long-lived by
human standards, with life spans
reaching well over 100 years. Some attribute this longevity
to breeding, but others suspect a magical source.
Alignment: High Thonians tend toward no specifi c
alignment. They are open-minded but are also prone to greed
and jealousy. All alignment variations are found among this
group of nobleborn people.
Relations: High Thonians are receptive to doing business
with other races. They barter and trade for books and
needed supplies for their inventions.
High Thonian Lands: When the Valley of the Kings
stood strong, the High Thonian
nobles ruled much of presentday
Blackmoor. The bloodline’s
fall, as well as invasion and
civil war, eroded much of what
was once the unifi ed kingdom
of Blackmoor. Many High Thonians
are preparing to use their
technology to reclaim some
of the lands they believe have
been stolen from them. Most
High Thonians live in Blackmoor’s
immediate vicinity
Religion: High Thonians
do not worship any particular
god. Many become clerics
and priests of particular deities,
but the average High Thonian
puts his faith in his own
creations.
Language: High Thonians
speak Common as well
as the royal dialect known as
“ Chale,” which is spoken only
behind closed doors. Because
of their astounding intellects,
Thonian nobles know many
more languages
Names: High Thonians
have given names as well as
family names. The family

No Thonian noble is to
bring disgrace upon his house.
