"HA! Look, look. Time and time again they choose the low road. He cheats on his wife, she tricks him for his wealth, he kills in cold blood. Look! Look! What more proof do you need? You cannot create a perfect intelligent creature. So I win the bet."

A second voice is heard, raspier than the first, angry as well.

"Agh Insufferable wretch!... Fine. I am of my word. You may give one of your baleful creatures the blessing, or I suppose curse as you would have me believe, of initiative and knowledge."

The first voice returns with a nasally glee. "Oh yes, along with this I will create a blessed one to bring them to greatness as your humans many hero's have done them. I will have my Gilgamesh!"

So first begin by picking a race.

Spoiler:  Marathon (click to show/hide)

These creatures real name in unpronounceable in common tongue so the human name is just marathoners. These creatures are massive four armed insects. Being that they were not created with intervention but are the product of natural selection and evolution these creatures are completely biological and are not harmed overly so by holy magic or fire. These creature practice loose shamanism and reproduce via a single male and a many fertile females. The females often fight for the right to spread their seed. Reproduction only happens when enough food is saved up to nourish the young. If a male is born then there is often and altercation and a split from the original tribe.

Their society is sexist against weak males and tribalistic.

There is a reason they are called marathon. Sadly, they do not have much in the way of twitch muscle. Fights are often won with long LONG battles. Disease resistant.

Beginning in the Valley of Defiling.

Spoiler: Sand Kings (click to show/hide)

 A bastardization of the centaur, a jealous god created these creatures. Men from the waist up for the most part, save for eight black eyes, and long thick hairs the color of sand, and sharp teeth. From the waist down however, they are large spiders, again, the color of sand. They reproduce sexually with live birth. They are called sand kings because they often use their sense of feeling and smell to attack during sand storms, as well as obvious reasons.

These creatures inhabit long dead ruins and salt flats seeking shelter from the sun and prying eyes. Their society is tribalistic.

Practice enchantment and divination. (They cannot create golems, I will expand on that later!)

Prone to disease, eat mates.

Beginning in the Salt Wastes.

Spoiler: Rakoshi (click to show/hide)

Rakoshi stand at eight feet tall, are hulkingly muscular, with a gaping sharklike mouth and dead looking yellow slits for eyes. They are deep cobalt blue and emit an awful fetid odor. They originate in the jungle, dexterously hopping from tree to tree with three fingered talons, preferring to hunt at night but can go out in the day easily.

The shock troops of an apocalyptic prophecy launched by an unbelievable force trying to enter the world, they work to this goal despite the fact that the prophecy has long been diverted by men. The world they came from is condemned and can not be opened any longer, unbeknownst to them. They still work to the goals of their former master, long dead.

Rakoshi do not bear live young; they lay eggs, which can be coaxed into dormancy for decades, or as rumor would have it, centuries.   Eggs are smooth with a mottled surface, and exhibit color differences between male and female offspring. Rakoshi are communal, and prefer to live in Matriarchal nests of up to one hundred members. They conform to a pack heirarchy system. Males are larger than females, reaching heights up to nine feet.

These creatures live in thick jungles seeking much prey and are able to carry out their secretive goals in peace. They are actually not that unintelligent. These creatures are tribalistic.

minor weakness to iron, Weakness to fire

Practice summoning and transmutation.

These creatures start in the Shred Rain forest

Spoiler: Wendigos (click to show/hide)

Wendigos are the only creatures directly related to humans because all of them once were human at one time. The curse of the wendigo is when you begin hankering for human flesh after eating it for the first time... Then you begin to change, until you are accepted into the clan of the wendigo... Or atleast that is one way. The wendigo also corrupt people into their ranks.

Standing at the average height of a man these creatures are monstrous with long faces of a caribou and sharp teeth, and a pale hairless body of an emaciated man with hooves. They have average strength and speed to that of a human.

These creatures live in the frozen north, unfeeling of cold and able to raid the men and coax them from their homes of the towns near the tundra. These creatures are actually not that unintelligent. These creatures are tribalistic.

Weakness to holy magic, SLOW reproduction rate, Completely immune to disease and most environmental effects have a resistance.

Practice Yellow Magick and occult contracts.

These creatures start in the Vile Tiaga.

"Yes, let's decide which creature to use. And while we are at it... Who will be the leader... Hmm they will need a fitting trait. I want them to work their way to the top. There needs to be a way for them to have gotten there of course."

Spoiler: Traits (click to show/hide)

A brutes strength
A thieve's agility
A stones endurance
A world walker's awareness
An artists skill (define it)
Something else?

Your last one was going really good, until you left it out to dry too long, and instead it dehydrated itself to the point of death....

But still good nonetheless
