Races of Orentia

There are ten major races of Orentia that have made significant impacts on the world. Most races have their own language, culture, and a nation that rules over that race’s homeland. DMs and players alike are encouraged to lean into the diversity of traits, social norms, and cultures that the races of Orentia represent. Many of these cultures and races of Orentia are heavily inspired by real life historical cultures and peoples. Our portrayal of the religious, social, political, and artistic legacies of these cultures is intended to celebrate and explore them via a fictional re-interpretation, and to help make Orentia feel more diverse. If any part of these fictional interpretations makes you or the others around the table uncomfortable, please edit or remove them as you see fit.
Beyond the main playable races listed here, Orentia is home to many other sapient creatures such as sirens, minotaurs, and changelings. Players may make characters from these races as well, and should work with their DMs to build and balance their racial abilities and place in the world.
