Races

All the core races are represented in Moravia, however, Humans are by far the most common. Ironwald Downs has a relatively large population of Dwarves and Elves, and there is a large Halfling community not terribly far away in the Blackstone region.

Religion

No religion goes without worship in Moravia. Below are listed the more commonly followed deities.

Adira Most arcane casters worship the Sorceress Supreme and thus there is a Temple of Enchantment of some form in nearly every settlement in Moravia.

Avarra The Lady on High claims followers from the highest noble to the lowest common folk. She is worshiped across all of Moravia out of fear, hope, or respect.

Breen Many heroes follow the Eye Opener and trust her wisdom. The Order of Thought can be found in every major city in Moravia, and some settlements where it would least be expected.

Cassilda The Holy Mother is honored in even the smallest settlement in Moravia. Those with families are especially likely to be found worshiping in The Home Foundation.

Dorylis The more nature minded often find their way to the Temple of Squalls and the Hawk Mistress. While usually represented in large cities, worship is more widespread in more isolated settlements.

Eda Possibly the most followed of the gods, the Earth Mother embraces the common farmer. Many women join the Church of the Land for its high regard of the hard working woman.

El The Great Builder is worshiped by many craftsmen and The House of Waters Deep can be found in every major city; some smaller settlements are even built around the temple.

Hastur Although widely worshiped by traders, the Coinmaster finds a fair few nobility in his courts. The Parish of the Prolific Coin can be found in all major cities and often times in trading posts.

Kel’Quey While not as widely followed as many others, the Traveler has shrines dotted all over Moravia. The Temple of Expeditions can also be found in all major cities.

Madri The Knight of the Gods is highly regarded in Moravia, and is afforded a majority following of paladins. The Temple of Salvation can be found in all cities with many smaller settlements having altars.

Nissa The Inevitable Order mainly finds itself in larger cities, although Queen Destiny has not a small following. Prophecy is looked upon with mixed feelings, resulting in many worshiping in their home.

Skills, Feats, and Traits

While no one skill cannot be gone without, some skills that would be helpful to focus in are: Knowledge (arcana, dungeoneering, and planes), Linguistics, Perception, Spellcraft, Survival, and Use Magic Device.
