Shanghaied: Online[Basics and Races]
David Ragan


The Planet Destaura [des TAUR a] in Shanghaied: Online occupies a pocket dimension roughly 5 light years across. Circling the single star (Called Nemesis, Mother, Wormwood, Yeadar, by various races) Nemisis has four planets.
The closest and smallest is a tidally locked planetoid named after one of the local gods of speed Karatah. The second planet is burned wasteland that while barely capable of supporting life has none. And the Fourth Planet is a gas giant similar to our Saturn, which acts as a shepherd for the systems asteroid belt.
The planet of Interest is the third one out, Destaura a small blue-green planet with three small moons. The Planet Destaura has several major countries Ronal [RO nal], Syndar [sin DAR], Ceta [SEE ta]? Draqunor [DRAK nor], Callanor [kal LA nor] as well as the Island Nation of Gandral home of the most prestigious of magical academy the Drahl Tower.

Races:
Human/Destraurian: This race is almost identical humans of Terra. They have a slightly better regeneration and many have blood of other races flowing through their veins
Dark Elf: Long ago the devious nobles were killed either in battle with surface dwellers, infighting or slaughtered when the commoners overthrew the nobility. Now they barely subsist and are leaderless. Many have turned to imbibing giant-spider toxins, and have mutated into?
Driders: Head and torso of a Dark Elf the lower body of a spider. They are both outcast and highly sought after for their silk and weaving.
Gnolls: A Shamatic Culture that inhabits the swamplands. They keep to themselves most of the time.
Satyri: The demon who altered this race form the baseline gave them no illusions of how he felt about them. "Your my b___hes, go to hell." They have human form with with red rubbery skin cloven hooves, horns tails, and unguligrade lower legs and wings. Males are rare.
Katori: Catpeople Human form with fur, eyes, ears and teeth off cat species. They also have tails that unlike felines is prehensile.
Triton: Humans with the ability to shift their lower bodies into that of a fish?s they also gain gills and webbed hands many seek work on ships.
Centaur: Created to be the steeds of the gods. Human and hips of humans with a horse?s mane, and the lower half of a horse with cloven hooves.
Dwarf: Short stocky with beards and slightly oversized arms. They are clannish and distrustful of outsiders.
Wood Elf: Elf commoners they also include many of the Half Elf races.
High Elf: The "Nobles" of the elves they have begun to act much like the noble classes of the Dark Elves, and many are becoming as diabolic as they used to be.
Amphods: Antromorphic Frogs their genders are hard to tell as they change as population needs. They spawn like frogs.
Gnomes: Small humans with the head of a normal sized human. They have slightly pointed ears and they find that they excel in necromancery.
Draconis: Lesser Dragons humanoid dragonkin. Something of an accident, they were created when humans and dragons in Human form mated. There is an old Joke that runs through the circles of other races. "I said slay the dragon, not lay the dragon!"
Greater Dragon: Celestial Dragons, kidnapped by the demons and used as fuel to create the pocket universe. Of the Eight used 5 died and one lost his mind. They have reproduced since then with themselves and Humans creating the Draconis.
Goblin/Orc: Essentially one race, when goblins become the alpha?s of their tribe they grow to huge size. Over years the high goblins and the low goblins have begun to separate but it will be several hundred years before they become distinct enough to be seperated.
