Editing Glorantha (section)

==="Elder Races"===
'''Elves''' - these elves, as opposed to tolkien's elves, are [[Dryad|literal walking talking trees]]. Created by their goddess Aldrya to assist in her quest to preserve and propagate plant life, these elves are divided into many subtypes depending on their pet tree types. Elves who take care of oaks are called Brown Elves and are typically large and very ent-like while elves who take care of tropical trees are small [[Racial Holy War|Yellow]] Elves and inhabit the [[Heart of Darkness|Vietnam(s)]] of Glorantha, while elves who take care of pines and evergreens are Green Elves who are deliberately made to look like [[Nymph|very attractive humans]]. DO NOT attempt to sleep with a Green Elf. Symptoms of elfborne STD include but are not limited to: skin discoloration, itchiness, halitosis, death, miscegenation, vitiligo, allergies, and (in rare cases) apotheosis.

'''Mostali''' - dwarves but not really. made as servitors and maintainers of Mostal, the world-machine, and are divided into many subtypes based on what kind of kiln they were forged in and what they're supposed to do. Rock dwarves are stonemasons, gold dwarves run logistics, and so on. Mind you, actual non-fleshy dwarves are endangered (think a couple of dozen) and have been elevated to the ruling class. To save their kind in the Darkness, most dwarves are now flesh and thus have to commit [[Shortstack|the business]] in presumably the old kilns (imagine the smelle). Currently engaged in "maintaining" and repairing Mostal and they sincerely think (lol) that everything that happened, [[Just_as_planned|whether disasters or miracles]], in Gloranthan history was because of their or someone else's upkeep or breaking of the world-machine. [[Old_Ones_(Warhammer)|They also sincerely believe that the world will return to its normal stasis]], with mostali ascendant over the rogue gods and lesser races, as long as they keep working on the world-machine.

'''Trolls''' - grey ungulate-looking motherfuckers ranging from 7 to 10 ft forced out of their beautiful Underworld by the brightness of Yelm into the middleworld proper [[Dawww|which they call the "Hurtplace"]]. Can eat absolutely anything but has preference for elves, as they are delicious, and dwarves, [[Drugs|as they are hallucinogenic]], and are thus at odds with both of these races. Also despises Chaos for being their main competition during the Darkness and would support literally anyone, including the aforementioned races, currently fighting chaos. Once members of the now defunct World Council of Friends (composed of races who survived the darkness against chaos) but left when the council decided to build an artificial god, Nysalor/Gbaji, who subsequently cursed their race and goddess to have 50% chance to multiple birth stunted trolls called trollkin that they use as [[What|food]], [[Gnoblar|slaves]], and [[Grot|cannon fodder]], weakening the once powerful race. Is a matriarchal society and a matriarch's rank is based on the number of non-trollkin births. Worship mainly Kyger Litor the matriarchal goddess and Zorak Zoran the male troll god of violence.

'''Dragonewts''' - [[Chaotic Stupid|absolute weirdos who just do what they want]]. They are the larval forms of true dragons who for some reason take way too long to metamorphose. They do believe that every action they commit contributes toward dragonhood for the world and themselves in a philosophy centered around maturing into True Dragonhood. Each nest is ruled by an Inhuman King, a true dragon taking dragonewt form, under whose presence they can be reborn in their original eggs when killed, rendering them effectively immortal. Helped form the Empire of Wyrm Friends (EWF) in Dragon Pass until they quit and killed anyone who might know useful dragon lore as the decadence and tyranny of human side of EWF was simply too deeply rooted. This culminated in the Dragonkill wherein a fuckton of dragons came out of nowhere and ate every human in Dragon Pass as well as those unfortunate bastards who came to destroy the EWF. No human lived in Dragon Pass until King of Dragon Pass proper. Also, Dragonnewts who fail to take control of their desires and emotions devolve into and are the ancestors of the [[dinosaur]]s of Glorantha. 

[[File:What the duck.png|200px|thumb|right|Even the characters are starting to think that walking, talking, fucking ducks are too ridiculous for a fantasy setting.]]
'''Beast Men''' - includes minotaurs, centaurs, and [[Disney|talking walking ducks with arms]]. Mostly located in the Beast Valley in Dragon Pass and are typically Orlanthi in culture and religion. Swears fealty to the King of Dragon Pass. 

'''Chaos''' - They are composed of beings ranging from [[broo]]s, who can [[what|impregnate inanimate objects]], to [[Ogre]]s, a race of Chaos-tainted humans who look normal until they open their mouths to reveal rows of jagged teeth for devouring other humans in cannibalistic murders, to Walktapus which are big naked humans with an octopus for a head, to vampires and undead, to simple amorphous giant blobs of chaos. Hated by almost everyone except the Red Goddess, who is vaguely affiliated with them, and her Lunar Empire, whose main philosophy argues that they are an essential part of the world. They exist on the rightful basis of kill-on-sight. Chaos as a state thrives on and is spawned by acts committed against the natural order. Notable examples of chaos-creating activities are kinslaying, failing HeroQuests with traditional chaotic villains, and rebelling against a rightful emperor.

'''Triolini''' - Bikini Bottom in Glorantha. Composed of warring subtypes such as the Ludoch, who are dolphin-folk, and Ysabbau, who are Gloranthan [[Deep One|deep ones]], among others. Subtypes are grouped into two based on descent from hated storm gods and nymphs who were either taken consensually, the Cetoi who are friendly to landlubbers, or raped, the Piscoi who would drag you down a trench, by those storm gods. Most of them have to surface to breathe with the exception of the Gnydron who are the giant triolini and [[/d/|whose ancestress nymph castrated her storm god to be impregnated with her own hermaphroditic mating organs]].

'''Wind Children''' - Winged humans descending from sylphs and humans that lived during the Godtime. Largely just hang in their mountain top and cliff face aeries, flying their days away hunting and contemplating. Dislike elves because their trees used to take away their open spaces in Godtime, and [[griffin]]s because they compete for the same enviromental spaces. Also complete wusses when it comes to alcohol, getting drunk from just a couple drops.
