To all space explorers, rogue traders and Federation colonisation and expeditionary force officers!

Thirty new alien species have been discovered. You are well-advised to inform yourselves, as to engage these entities correctly, without risk of harm to yourself or to the interests of Terra.

Ten of the described species are human in origin, yet modified to such a degree that they no longer need to be considered human.

Another ten are civilisation-building aliens competing with Terra for available space.

The final ten entries are remarkable life forms that display sapience, without using it to create civilisations. Caution is advised.

High above the lands of the living, where frost and howling of the wind reign, the morbid monument to a faith long dead calls the deceased on a last pilgrimage.

Within the chest of a wizardly tool, there beats a Shard heart, deeming the master a fool.

I guess it's time to change that. I've decided to throw a bone: help me make the gnomes a race worth featuring in an RPG.

Two young nobles, enmity between their families. Where have we seen this before?

A place more holy than any other

A harvest queen, a druid of war, a monarch of leaves.

A man of the city in the wild, a man of coin stands at nature's side? Can this go well, can it bear fruit? Will he be worthy, will duty take root?

The beast within became the beast without; ferocity and might blossoming in corpore upon the flesh.

Another scary child's toy...

A blade of darkest night turned to a different use, to teach and educate the knight?

It is the tortured and imperfect souls who most often cannot find a clear path to the afterlife. Weighted down by sins unforgiven, sins for whose forgiveness they never ask, sins they never regretted.

From beyond through veils sublime

Illuminate in shadow, fade colors, so fallow

Dark dreaming does bidding thine
