Welcome to Polychrome and The Terrible World of Oda

Cro-Mag

Adaptable Anthropoid

Cro-Mags have roughly the same cognitive abilities and variance as other humans, but have a slightly different physique, being broader and shorter, with a more pronounced brow.

Durrha

Boreal Behemoth

The Durrha are large, blubbery humanoids, native to the arctic circle of Oda. The Durrha are broad and robust, and are the heaviest of the major races of Oda.

Gnallix

Alchemical Android

The Gnallix are mysterious alchemical constructs, their origins shrouded in mystery.

Hmonqi

Monkey Men

Hmonqi are "born" when a monkey eats a purple banana. The Purple Banana has psychedelic effects that magically change monkeys, granting them greater intelligence and self-awareness.

Human

The Measure of All Things

Humans are a comparatively young, and the most numerous, race of intelligent humanoids on Oda.

Orxis

Mongrel Men

The Orxis claim that their species was born in the final days of the Gods' War. In his battle with Herule, Oraxis, God of Rage, was cut in twain above the Blood Peaks. His intestines fell on those great mountains, and was feasted upon by jackals. These jackals were filled with lust and fury, hunting and breeding until the only thing living on the spine of the world were their offspring: the Orxis.

Tulgg

Living Land

Tulgg society focuses on the tribe and its stewardship of the land. Tulgg tribes prefer remote forests, high mountain passes, and other areas remote enough to avoid the taint of city life.

Vosche

Sleeping Seekers

The people of dreams are wanderers. Compelled by an irresistible instinct to migrate, the Vosche who are called, travel en mass to a new location.

Agent

Agents represent those adventurers whose expertise was gained through extensive training and education, usually on behalf of a political, cultural or economic faction. On Oda there many factions secretly competing for money, power and influence. Kingdoms, fraternal lodges, commercial cartels and criminal syndicates all train agents with skills intended to further their purposes. Occasionally, these agents go rogue and work according to their own will.

Cleric

As a conduit for divine power, clerics can cast spells and channel the energy of their deity to heal allies, smite enemies, and perform miracles.

Courtsword

A Courtsword is a kind of warrior common throughout Oda, but closely associated with northern Tradelands. The Courtsword trains himself to fight without any conscious thought or effort. They fight purely on their well-honed instincts. The monastic quality of their training produces excellent warriors and instills the values of loyalty, bravery and obedience. Because of these traits, Courtswords are valued as bodyguards to many powerful and influential figures.

Fighter

Fighters are masters of combat, trained in the art of war. They excel in all forms of physical combat, from swordplay to archery.

Philosopher

The Philosopher is a class that is skilled in the art of contemplation and introspection, using their wisdom and understanding to navigate the complexities of the world and gain insight into the nature of reality. They are often found in libraries, universities, and other centers of learning, seeking to understand the world through logic and reason.

Priest

Amidst a campsite's flickering firelight, the adventurers rested, nursing their wounds from a skirmish. The Priest quickly prepared a makeshift stone altar, placing upon it his sacred book of rites. He chanted softly, invoking the Mending Wounds ritual. Each member approached in turn, their wounds sealing as the Priest traced symbols over them.
