Ancestries
This campaign setting uses the rules for Ancestry and Culture found in Ancestry & Culture: An Alternative to Race in 5e, originally designed by Eugene Marshall. Use the rules for mixed ancestral traits to generate characters with mixed ancestry, such as half-elves and half-orcs.
Ancestral Rarity
Common ancestries can be found just about anywhere, and their dominant cultures coexist in relative peace.
Uncommon ancestries are often limited to certain regions, have insular cultures, or are racially stereotyped as divines, mutants, or monsters. They almost always attract attention when removed from their cultural origin.
Rare ancestries are the product of magical intervention. As such, they cannot propagate. Offspring of creatures with these ancestries get their ancestries from their grandparents.

You may roll for your character's height and weight on the Random Height and Weight table. The roll in the Height Modifier column adds a number (in inches) to the character's base height. To get a weight, multiply the number you rolled for height by the roll in the Weight Modifier column and add the result (in pounds) to the base weight.
