D&D Firbolg Race

Firbolg

The Fir­bol­gs, mys­ti­cal beings with the appear­ance of blue, wool­ly sheep, live peace­ful­ly in har­mo­ny with nature. They pos­sess ancient mag­ic tied to the for­est and are known for their wis­dom, kind­ness, and har­mo­nious way of life.
The Fir­bol­gs have a mag­i­cal mon­u­ment inside a big botan­ic gar­den, where they wor­ship.

Conflict

For cen­turies, the Fir­bol­gs lived in con­flict with the Haren­gon, a race of rab­bit- and hare-like crea­tures. These swift, cun­ning beings are ener­getic and resource­ful, but not always peace­ful. The strug­gle between the two peo­ples last­ed more than forty years and claimed count­less lives.

Peace

Recent­ly, peace seemed to be restored. A treaty was signed between the kings of both race­sa new begin­ning, or so the Fir­bol­gs believe. To cel­e­brate this treaty, they made a stat­ue on which a Haren­gon king shakes hands with a Fir­bolg king. This stat­ue is also pre­sent­ed on their flag.

Harengon

But with­in the Haren­gon stirs betray­al. Mon­ty, a malev­o­lent white Haren­gon, also known as The Killer Rab­bit, despis­es the Fir­bol­gs. In secret, he is a mem­ber of a dark cult that wor­ships the God of Sac­ri­fice, Xavier. Mon­ty plots a mas­sive sac­ri­fice, intend­ing to use the Fir­bol­gs to feed Xavier with their life force. He believes this will grant him immea­sur­able pow­er. The rest of the Haren­gon know noth­ing of Monty’s plans. To them, peace seems real… for now.

Velbruen

The land where these races dwell is called Vel­bru­en. It is divid­ed into sev­er­al regions or provinces.

Leporia & Aurellia

Most Haren­gon live in Lep­o­ria, where their king resides. The Fir­bol­gs inhab­it the north­ern region of Aurel­lia, a land full of forests and mys­ti­cal ener­gy, where their own king rules. Yet, in the shad­ow of the peace treaty, a grow­ing threat looms. Monty’s dark schemes may destroy every­thing the Fir­bol­gs have sought to pro­tect.
