The World of Cheos

Long ago I created Cheos, a world for a Dungeons and Dragons game. It's a different take on the typical fantasy world. The mythical cratures are all half animal, half human. The monsters are all genetic nightmares. There is magic and science in this world. I decided to put it online here for help building it into a real, breathing, dynamic world. I got the idea from the World of Korio blog for my teacher's anthology class. Here's the deal. It is a shared world. Anybody can create within the guidelines I will post there. But I am the final arbiter of what is "real" on Cheos. Anybody can use the stuff from the world for thier games. I intend to write stories based on Cheos. If you post an idea on the blog, then you are accepting that it is OK for me to use it in a book. So if you are willing to help, let's create a world.

Here is the concept of the World of Cheos.

Millinea ago, there was a great war between wizard kings that destroyed the world. These wizards and thier minions created warriors by blending humans with animals. There were thousands of types of of these "blendings" but only a few have survived. The war devestated humanity, barely 20,000 true humans were left. Some of the blended races survived and eventually thrived. The rest could not sustain thier populations and died off. Thousands of years passed before the world healed itself from the destruction of the war. Now there are new civilizations and new wonders. All D&D realms have humans. In other D&D worlds humans are the most prolific of the races. That is not the case here. Since all the races are descended from humans they breed and die at the same rate (unless war, disease and famine take thier toll). The other races are all specific human-animal hybrids. There are Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Ogres, Orcs, Goblins, Kobolds, Gnomes, Merfolk and Pixies. I am open to other races, but these are what I started with.

Ogres of Cheos


Ogres are part human and part bighorn mountain sheep.


I decided this because I wanted Ogres to have big curling horns and, well, these sheep have them. Males have tremendous horns and they are a source of tremendous pride and prestige. Female Ogres do not have horns.
Ogres are about 7 1/2 feet tall and are extremely muscular. Ogres get a +1 to strength and +1 to stamina but suffer -1 to dexterity and -1 to charisma. Ogres are unfriendly to outsiders and tend to keep to themselves
.
Their main weapon is the Ogre Long Sword. The blade is 6 feet long and the handle is 5 feet long. They are very deadly with it. All Ogres get a free proficiency slot for this sword and cannot specialize in any other sword.
Ogre society is not very structured. Ogre clan lords are male warriors, but town and city governments vary from area to area.
Ogre clerics are all female. All other classes can be male or female. Ogre wizards are not trusted in their society, so mages suffer a -1 penalty to charisma but gain a +1 to intelligence.

A few quick facts about Ogres.

  • Ogre families are similar to Scottish clans.
  • Ogres live in mountainous regions and hate to move across water in boats and rarely swim.
  • Ogres are omnivores.
  • Ogres have little skill in as blacksmiths and as such are allied closely with dwarves.
  • Ogres generally dislike and distrust Elves.
  • Ogres are not given to deep thought and introspection.
  • Ogres value strength over all other aspects.
  • Ogres took the longest of all the blended races to regain sentience and form a society.
  • Ogres have a complex system of honor.
  • Ogres never, ever lie.
  • Although Ogres are fearsome fighters, they are slow to anger.
