The Myth of Creation is that the world is made up by several junkies, sitting in an eternal void smoking herbs from a single hookah. Very few people know of this myth, however, and even less believe it.
Hobtrolls are half-trolls, half-hobbits.
Somewhere in one of the oceans, on an otherwise average island, rises a magnificent tower of copper. A tower so tall it can be seen from any point on the planet, all attempts to reach it have failed. It is always on the horizon, no matter what you do.
It is said that the Nameless God either inhabits or left some of his power at the top of the tower. It is called the Tower of God or the Tower of Heaven.
There is a cult that worships an Eldritch Abomination called Tz'eecuse.
The Nameless God is said to be the twin of Tz'eecuse. According to Legend, they are mortal enemies and will fight to the death at the end of time. No one knows who will win.
The glass golems worship the Nameless God.
Before they disappeared, the ant golems created an enormous war machine called the Gargantuan. It was destroyed before it was finished, but many villains search for the blueprints in the hopes of reconstructing it and conquering the world.

The ruins of the cities of the ant golems are inhabitated by the hobtrolls.

Hobtrolls are little creatures scavengers. They do not have their own technology but instead "borrows" from other races.

On the far east of the world lies an enormous sea of lava known as the Sea of Fire on which lie islands of obsidian, inhabited by the fireproof, dark-skinned Char Elves.

To the farthest west lies a range of mountains. In those mountains lie a race of unknown creatures of unknown origin.

In the far cold north lives the Shuul, they are sentient muskox-people. They live in various tribes who fish and hunt for survival.
Their main source of food (or prey if you want to call it that) are the Hrrun and the Errkh.

(Maybe you should post everything we got so far on the first post.)

The Hrrun are a species of semi-intelligent spiders that are the size of dogs.

The Errkh are a species of large bears with leathery wings the size of a man, the tail and stinger of a scorpion and the legs of a spider.

 although the carnivorous Errkh will eat just about any kind of protean their main diet consists of Hrrun and Shuul.

There is a prophecy that says: 'When two blue suns rise, the final invasion will begin'

Hrrun, being the most intelligent of the three main northern species, include herbivourous Ochac into their diets.

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

(So the tribal musk ox people are not intelligent?)

(They are sentient... Which may not include intelligence. Hrrun being only semi-intelligent implies that two other species are quite close to blatant idiocy)

(Well with my post saying sentient, I meant to imply that the shuul was supposed to be quite intelligent. At least enough to to form tribes, communicate and so on.)
