Cain Anuun

Cain Anuun is the setting for Phillip (sic) Kennedy Johnson's The Last God. It has 5e / d20 roolz in The Last God: Tales From the Book of Ages but here we'll mostly deal with the lore as a whole.

Gods

The gods here take the honorific prefix "Mol".

Mol Anwe was the founder of magic and music. Mol Uvanya was the goddess of nature which, here (as opposed to Tollers), is antithesis to magic. Then there's Mol Kalakto god of the forge, and Mol Rangma born of fire. These gods are all dead now.

But there's one god left who lives! That'd be Mol Uhltep.

Races

The fey came first, birthed when Mol Anwe sacrificed herself toward their creation.

The Aelva race being not fey descend from Mol Uvanya. Tribal and nomadic. They follow Feist's moredhel "we hate other elf tribes almost as much as we hate you" pattern around not being Mary Sue.

Then there's the djorruk, golems from Mol Kalakto - he didn't sacrifice himself at first, but as he lay dying he ended up passing on his Divine spark to them.

The dragons are all fire breathers and come from Mol Rangma.

Dorfs sprang out of Mol Kalakto's corpse; they're Wagner dwarves.

Other races, like ursulon and - er - humans, are not children of Mol Anybody. They can however access some of these Divine gifts, notably bards who can tap into Mol Anwe's legacy of music.
