Races of Mannon
Generally speaking, the actual difference of species in Mannon is quite sparse. Most of the people living in it are some sort of human; at least genetically speaking. However some of these human races are so far deviant from the norm that they can barely be identified as such. Even regular humans have different characteristics based on where they are from.
Global
[Human]
Humans make up the vast majority of Mannon. The difference in population between humans and other races is so great that even in relatively traveled regions there are those who have never seen non-humans.
Homeland: N/A(Humans are found virtually everywhere)
Racial Benefits: As SRD
Racial Drawbacks: As SRD
Starting Languages: The World Tongue
Endufo
[Elves]
What Elves there are exist solely on the continent of Endufo in its many trackless woodlands and mountains. Grizzled and aggressive, many elves brook no tolerance for other races and enforce harsh penalties upon those who violate their secret laws.
Homeland: Endufo
Racial Benefits: As SRD(Wood Elf)
Racial Drawbacks: As SRD(Wood Elf)

Zengroda
Loorin

[Skaunite]
Skaunites are the wretched survivors of Tremm's Hex, the great curse that brought about the destruction of the Silver Empire. These unlucky people are hated throughout the Burning Lands, for they were the ones who turned the once fair Silver Desert into the wasteland it has become (or so claim the Legion), and met with prejudice and mistrust everywhere else. Afflicted with the Silver Curse, Skaunite skin has become hard and cracked.

The Silver Curse: Despite its name, the Silver Curse is actually a racial disease and takes its name from the supposed history of those who bear it. It causes extreme sensitivity to sunlight and prolonged exposure causes a blistering rash to form. Every hour a significant portion(not such as a whole arm or leg) of the Skaunite is in direct sunlight he takes 10% of his maximum health in non lethal damage. Abrupt exposure to light blinds the Skaunite for one round. In exchange however, the Skaunite's skin has grown tough and resilient granting him +1 natural armor and an additional hit point per hit die.
