Editing Banestorm (section)

====Gabrook====
Gabrook is a desert world, one with average to high mana and arid deserts. The Banestorm has swept people from Gabrook on three occasions, twice on the 11th century and once in the 12th.

=====Goblins=====

Goblins on Yrth aren't the standard cannon fodder or always-evil race that many settings portray them as. Rather, goblins are portrayed as quick adapters, fitting well into most human societies. They are extremely extroverted, naturally curious, and rather bright and clever, and this has given them some serious clout in human society. Even though some established the Goblin Kingdoms, these soon got absorbed into Megalos. Depending on the region, goblin communities will adopt the dominant religion. But the real things that appeal to goblins are commerce and magic. There is a city composed 60% of goblins, and it's a mercantile city with a lot of goblin wizards.

* Hobgoblins
Hobgoblins are a subspecies of goblins that arrived with the goblins from Gabrook. Unlike their extroverted, charming and intelligent cousins, Hobgoblins are brutish, dim-witted bullies. Many of them eschew civilization entirely, preferring to live out in the wastelands in hunter-gatherer tribes. Those that do live in the cities tend to be servants to the goblins.

* Kobolds
Kobolds, unlike [[D&D]] Kobolds, are not dragon-folk, reptilian, or even dog-like. Rather, they are another distant cousin to the goblins, with blue skin instead of green. They tend to be rather weak, incredibly dumb and easily distracted, to the point that they're infamous across Yrth for their uselessness. The book confirms this by giving them the [[FAIL|lowest possible points for a racial template.]] So, in general, Kobolds kinda suck.

=====Reptile Men=====

The Reptile Men are the only non-goblinoid species to come from Gabrook. They are deeply mistrusted by everyone, due in part to the tendency for wilder reptile men to eat humans, orcs, and goblins. Humans and orcs from the Orclands tend to hunt them down as well and wear their leathery skin as armor.

They are currently settled in the deserts of Yrth, those being the Great Desert between Caithness and the Orclands, or the Islamic deserts of Al-Haz. In Al-Haz, they at least have adopted Islam and aren't [[murderhobos]] eating the flesh of other sapient beings. The same can't be said of the reptile men of the Great Desert, who often raid their neighbors in Caithness and the Orclands for food, and are extremely savage.
