Outlawed Races

The following races are not allowed for use by players during the Nameless Trilogy Campaign. It should be known that the following races were disallowed for story reasons set by the Dungeon Master and are not meant to present a hinderance to the players. Explanations for this outlawing will be presented with each race.
1. Orcs - Orcs are the result of a biological weapon created by the humans during the Great Human-Elf War which began in the year 1730 AC. The humans created a necrovirus which I the combination of a blood-born contagion and necromantic energies which targets elf blood specifically, transforming them into monsters which seek to kill or infect other elves. History since that war tells of countless struggles and conflicts between the nations and the orcs. No cure has ever been found for the necrovirus.
2. Half-Orcs - following the establishment of Aurelia as a nation, it was discovered that half-elves, due to their elven bloodlines, were also susceptible to the necrovirus that infected the elves, transforming them into orcs which possessed far more logic and cunning than their bloodthirsty full-mood relatives. They were called half-orcs, and are usually seen in command structure over the other orcs which they lead into battle.
3. Goblins - Various experiments in the past have attempted to cure the necrovirus, but none have ever been successful. One such experiment further reduced the orcs into tiny creatures which travel in packs in the mountains, and were called goblins. Still infected with necrovirus, the goblins are actually a unique example of class-distinction in the orc ranks in which goblins are treated like "second-class citizens" and used as cannon-fodder on the front lines.
4. Hobgoblins - A variant of the failed experiment which produced goblins, hobgoblins stand apart from their orc and goblin relatives due to their thirst for conquest. Driven more by the need to destroy as opposed to infect, hobgoblins are just as likely to kill elves than wound them with blood-infected blades. Whenever a hobgoblin army is seen on the prowl, cities bar their doors and prepare for the all-out assault.
5. Bugbears - No one quite knows the origin story of the bugbears, whether they another offshoot from their goblin and hobgoblin relatives. However, they speak the same language and fight for the same cause, so we must conclude that they are somehow related, if only distantly. Furthermore, their blood has been known to have necrotic properties. Bugbears, like their hobgoblin commanders, crave destruction and pillaging, burning whole swaths of countryside before being turned aside by a prevailing force.
6. Tieflings - Long spoken of in fairy tales, the tieflings are thought to be humans who aligned themselves with demons. Every fairytale speaks ill of them, whether to frighten children or warn adolescents. They are evil, consorts of hell, and true sons and daughters of devils.
7. Duergar - These darkling versions of the proud dwarves are, like the tieflings, considered evil and aligned with the forces of darkness. While not talked about as denizens of hell, the Duergar are spoken of in hushed whispers, the result of dwarves who turn their minds to acts of evil and injustice.
8. Drow - Some elves believe that the drow are real, even though no one has ever seen one. There are always rumors circulating in the elven cities of a drow seen prowling at night. Some unfortunate moon elves have even been sentenced to life-imprisonment as a result of their presupposed "resemblance" to the dark elves. For such a spiritual race as the elves, drow are considered the opposite, atheistic creatures leveraging their long lives for selfish gain and cruel purpose.
