  Population: 4, Primitive
  no knowledges
  Pantheon: Havoc 50%, Meta 50%
  Females of the species have nine breasts, each as large as a beetroot of unusual size. The women are so voluptuous that they can move only with difficulty. The males, however, are very protective of their chesty wife-slaves, and are fierce warriors. Their renown as efficient, logistical planners is legendary.

  Knowledges: Agriculture, Trade
  Modifications: Incite Peace, Popular Support (Acanthus)
  Pantheon: Acanthus 44%, Skulk 33%, Coyote 8%, Miranda 5%, Kowabunga 1%
  Spawned from a vitreous jelly in the deep, the Kraken juvenile has an anthropomorphic form, with 4 to 11 tentacles arrayed about a bulbous body. They farm along the coasts and communicate by way of scent. Upon maturing they return to the deeps and join large colonies, the size of a Lesser Leviathan, whose parts are made up of individual Kraken. The various metamorphases required to form this colonial organism are poorly understood, as is their musical long-range communication.

• Plankton Nation

  Population: 4, Primitive
  Knowledges: Fishing
  Modifications: Incite Peace
  Pantheon: Kowabunga 75%, Acanthus 10%, Byron 10%, Havoc 5%
  The first race, they came from nowhere and spontaneously arose from the ooze, realizing something from nothingness. Bright green in color, with flower petal hair and cheerful dispositions. They live in the dawn of time, surf on wooden boards, and fish in the primeval seas. Some day they will sail beyond the horizons. Their hearty nature and natural cholorophyll powered strength make them serious opponents in time of war. They wait for the creation of rock-'n'-roll, beer, and Better Homes and Gardens.

• Red Chlorophyll ("Red K") Plankton Nation (sub-race of Plankton Nation)

  Population: 4, Primitive
  Knowledges: Fishing
  Modifications: Incite Peace, Popular Support (Byron)
  Pantheon: Kowabunga 56.25%, Diabolism 25%, Acanthus 7.5%, Byron 7.5%, Havoc 3.75%
  Red-skinned version of Plankton Nation, their particular specialty is as wave-riders. They are renowned for seductive powers. At times warlike, they often serve as mercenaries for their green-skinned cousins when favored surf coastlines are threatened. They await the invention of techno-music. Ofttimes they are captured and forced to serve as harem slaves to royalty and wealthy merchants. They're suckers for a chocolate milk shake.

• Stegal - Aerial

  Population: 3, Primitive
  Knowledges: Fishing
  Modifications: Religious Turmoil
  Pantheon: Diabolism 50%, Miranda 47%, Serapis 1.5%, Stelos 1.5%
  A race of ethereal, four-winged little birdies.

• Thriving Thorn Dryads - Plant, Short-lived

  Knowledges: Agriculture, Sea-faring, Trade
  Pantheon: Mordak 30%, Diabolism 25%, Acanthus 17.25%, Miranda 15%, Serapis 12.75%
  A race of vine-like beings who dwell in forests and sleep lightly in death. Each individual undergoes seasonal changes, foliant in summer, wiry and serpentine as dead bramble in the long winters. Their voices are as wind through thickets, and in the spring their tiny flowers are crimson. The great bramble fields which dot their lands are in fact their graveyards, where the at the ends of their short lives the dormant Thorn Dryad await the call to war.
