Beastkin

A beastkin is an elfinoid animal, usually with two legs, that lives up to 100 years. If there’s an animal, there’s a beastkin version of that animal. Here are a few highlights.

Because there are so many varieties, beastkins dominate the world. They have an understanding with elves, though. Elves can build cities as long as they stay away from the forests where beastkins live.

They have as many skin tones as the humans of Earth.
