Welcome to Curious Quill, an original content resource for fantasy roleplaying.
Announcing a change in direction: supporting Dragonbane. I am Moving On from 5e as my primary focus. Most of what is here is designed to be used in any system, but a lot has focused on 5e. For a time at least, I will be adapting my work to Dragonbane. I hope you join me in my journey, and if you play 5e yourself, remember that there is a plethora of info already here, and new stuff will be easily adaptable. So don’t go anywhere.

After the Rivening when the cloud, fire, frost and stone giants were created, the Caelestine were able to further enhance a few of them who were able to accept the fifth element of aether which is the thunder and evolve into storm giants. Over time, those giants that were not granted an element devolved into what we know today as hill giants.

Our first classification of mortals are fiends. Fiends are mortals with infernal heritage, originally the offspring of demons and devils. This includes demonkin or lesser demons, who are the result of two infernals or an infernal and another mortal mating, and the orc and their kin who are offspring of demons and mortals.
